Chiodos

About this event

w/ Hail the Sun / Emery / Evergreen Terrace Doors: 6:00pm. Towards the end of their fourth album, the members of Chiodos bring their voices together to declare, “Look at us now, we’re right back where we left off, It’s our time to really do things right.” ‘Nuf said, in a way.

We’re different people now, and that makes our experiences together different and working together different-- for the better,” And what’s the same? “What’s the same is the feeling that we get when we play music together,” Owens explains. “The music is what always felt the same, what we were always good at. That’s what held us together for years -- and what brought us back together.” Adds keyboardist Bradley Bell, “When Craig and I got together and wrote a couple songs on the acoustic guitar, we felt the chemistry again. We knew this was stuff we should show the band so we could do this again.” Chiodos had, of course, built a strong enough foundation to return to -- and beyond -- form.…
