Chiodos (English: /tʃiːˈoʊdoʊz/, Italian pronunciation: [ˈkjɔːdos]) was an American post-hardcore band from Davison, Michigan. Formed in 2001, the group was originally known as “The Light-hearted Carpet Knights” before changing their name to "The Chiodos Bros," the band's name was a tribute to filmmakers Stephen, Charles, and Edward Chiodo, responsible for the film Killer Klowns from Outer Space.[3] Chiodos released their first full-length album, titled All's Well That Ends Well, on July 26, 2005. Their second album, Bone Palace Ballet, was released in North America on September 4, 2007 and debuted at number 5 on the Billboard 200[4] and number 1 on the Independent Albums.[4] Warner Bros. Records released Bone Palace Ballet on January 26, 2009, as part of a new distribution deal in the UK.[5][6][7][8][9] They released their third studio album, Illuminaudio in 2010, and it was the only studio album to feature Brandon Bolmer as lead vocalist and Tanner Wayne as drummer. The band released their fourth and final album, Devil on April 1, 2014, which marked the return of original vocalist Craig Owens and drummer Derrick Frost.

History

Inception and All's Well That Ends Well (2001–2005)

The original members of Chiodos assembled (under the name The Chiodos Brothers) while attending high school in their hometown of Davison, Michigan during 2001. Initially, they got their start playing shows at the Flint Local 432, an all-ages, substance free music venue located in Downtown Flint. The Flint Local 432 also helped develop other nationally recognized alternative acts such as The Swellers, and Empty Orchestra. The group changed their name the following years to Chiodos after releasing three EPs, one for each year until the coming of 2004 when the writing and preparation of their debut album, All's Well That Ends Well began. The debut record was released on July 26, 2005 through Equal Vision Records. It reached #3 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers chart and #164 on the Billboard 200 chart upon its release.[10]

Bone Palace Ballet and departure of Craig Owens (2006–2009)

Chiodos headlined some shows on their own before joining Alternative Press's 2006 "Invisible Sideshow" tour, headlined by Armor for Sleep.[11][12] Following that tour, they supported Matchbook Romance on the Sub City "Take Action" tour in Spring 2006. That summer, they toured with Fear Before the March of Flames, as well as appearing on the Warped Tour. In fall 2006, Chiodos appeared on Atreyu's World Championship Tour, alongside From First to Last and Every Time I Die, as well as 3 and 36 Crazyfists. Chiodos toured alongside Linkin Park and Coheed and Cambria in early 2008.[13][14] The band also toured with Nine Inch Nails and Alice in Chains in Australia during early 2009. They played Warped Tour 2009 on the main stage alongside bands The Devil Wears Prada, Bad Religion, Silverstein, Saosin and Underoath. In March 2009, the band recorded a cover version of the song "Flagpole Sitta" by Harvey Danger for Fearless Records' Punk Goes Pop Volume 2 compilation album.

On September 24, 2009 the band announced that vocalist Craig Owens had been fired, and that the decision was "necessary".[15]}}

People close to the band were apparently aware of the tension and acrimony between Owens and other members, but also expressed surprise at his firing.[16]

Line-up change and Illuminaudio (2010–2012)

On August 3, 2010, Alternative Press posted on their website that Chiodos' new album would be titled Illuminaudio, and would be released on October 5. This was confirmed on August 9, 2010, in a press release from their label, Equal Vision.[17] On January 21, 2011, the Australian version of "Illuminaudio" CD was released with a bonus track, "New Thought Movement".[18]

Second line-up change (2012–2013)

On March 27, 2012 Chiodos announced that vocalist Brandon Bolmer and drummer Tanner Wayne had decided to depart from the band.[19] On April 26, 2012, Chiodos released a video confirming that Craig Owens would be a part of Chiodos again for the first time in two and a half years.[20] On May 14, 2012, Chiodos released another video confirming that Derrick Frost would be a part of Chiodos again after years of being away.[2]

On November 8, 2012, while performing solo Owens and Bell both stated that they were writing a new Chiodos record. On November 23, 2012, Jason Hale announced that he was no longer a member of Chiodos.[21] Thomas Erak, The Fall of Troy, replaced Jason for the remainder of the tour, and was soon after announced as a permanent replacement.[22] The band toured the UK in February 2013 on the Kerrang! Tour 2013, as support to Black Veil Brides and featured on the Warped Tour 2013.[23]

Signing to Razor & Tie and Devil and break-up (2013–2016)

On May 15, 2013, Razor & Tie announced the signing of Chiodos.[24][25]

On June 21, 2013, during their run at Warped Tour in Pomona with The Fall of Troy, they announced they would start recording their fourth album upon completing their tour.[26]

On September 11, 2013, the band entered Dreamland Studio in Woodstock, NY with producer David Bottrill, vocalist Craig Owens commented on the production of the new album, "We're excited to be working with Dave Bottrill on this new Chiodos record. So for the next two months, we'll be hiding out in the woods of upstate NY, in a hollowed out Church turned studio".[27]

On September 25, 2013, Alternative Press released in an interview with Bradley Bell on what to expect on the new album. In the interview Bradley has stated that the album would be "...touching back toward the Bone Palace roots, but Thomas kind of brings us an All’s Well That Ends Well vibe with his playing. And then, there’s a new frontier that we’re exploring, as well." Bradley also mentioned how the band had been working outside of their comfort zone, with vocalist Craig Owens "...challenging himself on this record to sing in different ways. He’s been working on using his actual falsetto a lot instead of screaming his high notes just to bring it to a new dimension. He’s even singing lower on a lot of stuff than he has in the past."[28]

They incorporated a new song into their "The Road To Warped Tour 2013" in Europe titled "Behvis Bullock."[29] At the end of 2013, the band planned to tour Germany supporting Escape The Fate but the tour was cancelled at short notice, with Chiodos playing some headlining gigs instead.[30] On January 27 the following year the album was announced as Devil, set for release on April 1, 2014 through Razor & Tie. On the same day, the first single from the album, "Ole Fishlips Is Dead Now" was released.[31] The band was set as a support act for A Day to Remember's tour titled Parks & Devastation Tour throughout September and October,[32] while they also supported The Blackout in the UK throughout November.[33]

On September 3, members Derrick Frost and Matt Goddard announced that they had decided to leave the band and were immediately replaced by Thomas Pridgen (ex-The Mars Volta) on drums and Joseph Troy (Rx Bandits) on bass.[34] The band was announced as one of the acts to perform in the South by So What?! festival in March at QuikTrip Park in Grand Prairie.[35] On December 9, 2014 Thomas Erak announced that he would be departing in order to focus on his band The Fall Of Troy.

On November 1, 2016 in an interview with Billboard, vocalist Craig Owens stated in regards to Chiodos that, "It's done, it just couldn't stay afloat. There were just kind of, not necessarily bad vibes, but we came to the realization that we can't do it full-time. I think it just stopped becoming a passion for most of us so we said, 'Alright, let's stop.'" This brought an end to Chiodos' fifteen-year career. Owens is now performing under the stage moniker badXchannels and also his previous band, Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows.[36]

All's Well That Ends Well Reunion (2024)

It was confirmed on November 13, 2023 that Craig Owens would play at the When We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas on October 19, 2024 under the Chiodos name. The band lineup has not been formally announced, but Pat McManaman confirmed that no other members were asked to participate. Craig Owens will also play under the Chiodos name for the Emo's not Dead Cruise in February of 2025.[37]
