Send "Chevelle" Ringtones to Cell

Chicago based Chevelle is comprise of brothers Sam (drummer / bandleader), Pete (vocals/guitar),and Joe (bass) Loeffler. For four and a half years, Chevelle has been steadily building momentum as one of the "Windy City's" most promising young rock bands.

Sam, Pete and Joe seem to read one another's thoughts onstage, seemingly via a sibling-inherent telepathy.The trait is uncanny, yet somehow expected from three who have spent their whole lives in such close quarters. While they were habitually bashing away in their parents' basement from the beginning, the band was also busy booking gigs. Although they started out playing the obligatory party and outdoor social event circuit, in short order Chevelle was being booked in Chicago clubs such as the Fireside Bowl and Lounge Axe. Eighteen-year-old Joe, the youngest member, is one of the few teens who can brag about playing Chicago's prestigious Double Door when he was a mere fourteen.

Chevelle has had their less than glamorous moment s as well. For example, Pete offers up the song "Dos" to illustrate the universal experience of a band playing for an all but empty room. Though surely excruciating, the event produced a song with lyrics that are wryly humorous in context. "You two, you're what's left / I don't take requests." Though amusing, there's a touch of anger in the line as well, which is underscored by Pete's emotive voice (which can alternate between dispassionate detachment and primal scream in the course of a song). It's an emotion prominent throughout Point #1 , and a major part of Chevelle's brand of expression. "Music can help get aggression out of you," says Pete. "I don't want to live an angry life." Which is obvious from the subject matter at hand in the first single from point #1, "Mia." "Though it's named after a girl I know, the song is simply about quality," offers Pete, who delivers the lyric, "I'm made of peanuts, not of shells" as a way of saying that the payoff exists

Review about Chevelle

Underated and amazing | Reviewer: J | 5/14/09

Chevelle is so fucking amazing, I mean their riffs, melodies, lyrics, I mean I can't say there's a song I don't like, I have been knocking "El Diablo" "Family System" since they came out. I literally played Vena Sera out so much my Cd won't play. I saw them live @ the Fillmore and they rock that shit so hard. Because they are talented you don't hear ton's of their stuff on the radio. That's fine though, I wouldnt want to share them! I am sooooo excited about the new album!

Chevelle | Reviewer: Jenn Ellis | 4/18/09

Truly talented guys! I've followed them since 95, when they did there demo " The Blue Album"! The deep lyrical aspect and the shit Pete comes up with, just makes it the best! Sam and Dean are very talented to , but for me Pete stands out the most! Whale like that and play the guitar, he never misses a beat! These guys are my favorite band!

Chevelle's meaning to me......:D | Reviewer: ChEvElLe | 3/15/09

Let me tell you know.......
Chevelle is the best damn band:) They're my favorite band! Still Running, Closure, Vitamin R, and The Red are some of my favorite songs. When I first heard them, something about them gave me chills. They are totally and completely AWSOME!

Chevelle Review | Reviewer: Andrew | 1/28/09

I first heard of Chevelle when I came across the song "The Clincher" while surfing the net. I loved it so much, and I decided to buy some of their music. I bought "Vena Sera" first, then (oddly) bought the rest in backwards order. There was a big change in style between "Point #1" and "Wonder What's Next", but both of those albums are good, and from 1999 to the present, they have delivered nothing but perfection. They're my favorite band. They're probably one of the greatest alterantive/hard rock/alt metal bands ever.

Fantastic band ! | Reviewer: DelacroiX | 1/2/09

I first heard their "Well Enough Alone" and I was addicted to that song ! Then I bought other albums and searched for their lyrics ...
If you ask my opinion , They're going to be one of the best Alternative rock bands ever existed !

------ About the artist/band Chevelle | Reviewer: Dane | 9/28/07

I've been a fan of Chevelle ever since I heard them on the radio (The Red) then I got their CD and haven't stopped liking them since. I like there music so much because every song the sing has a meaning to them and some way and you can hear it when they sing. And that’s why they don't sing about the same things a lot of other bands sing about. There lyrics are like poetry.

mislabeled tool songs... | Reviewer: me | 9/24/07

I first heard them via napster when I was looking for tool mp3's. I didn't like them at first mostly bc of being mislabeled and thinking "this isn't tool" but I didn't delete it. Having winamp set to random is a blessing...you end up listening to it and going "that was a good song...who is that.." and the rest is history.

wow | Reviewer: matt | 6/19/07

wow that song The Clincher is in my opinion one of the best songs by chevelle because its powerful the lyrics are i mean keep doing whatever you are doing chevelle keep up the good work ;]
