Chiodos are an American post-hardcore band from Davison, Michigan, formed in 2001. They are widely recognized as one of their genre’s most successful exports.
Originally known as The Chiodos Bros. - a tribute to the filmmakers responsible for the cult classic Killer Klowns from Outer Space, Chiodos have since become one of the most influential post-hardcore bands on the circuit. After a formative few years in which they toured, released EPs and wrote material for a debut full-length, they finally dropped the aptly-titled ‘All’s Well That Ends Well’ in 2005, which they followed up with a well-received slot on that year’s Warped Tour, and support slots to the likes of Atreyu and Cohhed and Cambria.
Upheaval was to lie ahead, though; after the success of album number two, ‘Bone Palace Ballet’, the band fired frontman Craig Owens in 2009, just after a tour with Nine Inch Nails had further helped place them on the map. Their next album, 2010’s ‘Illuminaudio’, was a success within the genre, but a further reshuffle followed once touring duties were completed; both replacement singer Brandon Bolmer and sticksman Tanner Wayne announced their departures in March 2012, with Owens quickly ushered back into the fold - his first recorded contributions since his return can be heard on ‘Devil’, the band’s first record in four years, which was released on April 1st, 2004.
