Chevelle是由Joe Loeffler（Bass），Pete Loeffler（Vocal，Guitar），Sam Loeffler（Vocal，Drums）三兄弟組成的Alternative metal樂隊。早在95年，樂隊就成立于三人的家鄉(xiāng)芝加哥，他們于那時開始于聚會或戶外活動時表演。99年，樂隊發(fā)行了他們的第一張錄音室專輯Point ＃1。3年后，他們發(fā)行了全新的專輯Wonder What's Next，這張專輯里，他們的音樂有了大幅的提高。第一首單曲The Red取得了Billboard現(xiàn)代搖滾榜的第3名，而他們的第二首單曲Send The Pain Below更是取得了冠軍的成績，而最新單曲Closure現(xiàn)在也已升到榜單第13位。而專輯里的其他歌也都做到了足夠出色。包括一些有再次取得冠軍的潛力的歌！今年六月，這張專輯成為白金專輯。Chevelle也得到了在Ozzfest Main Stage和Marilyn Manson，Ozzy Osbourne，KoRn，DISTURBED，Datsuns演出的機(jī)會。今年夏天，他們與上述樂隊一同參加了Ozzfest 2003的巡演。Ozzy Osbourne都對他們贊不絕口，并將他們的Family System收錄于Ozzy家庭專輯中。 　　從音樂上來說，Chevelle明顯受到了Tool和Deftones等優(yōu)秀樂隊不同程度的影響。兄弟三人也對媒體表示了Tool對他們的影響和他們對Tool的尊敬。事實上，Chevelle有些謙虛，雖然受到一定的Tool的影響，但他們已經(jīng)做出了有自己特色的音樂，有內(nèi)涵的音樂。可以說，他們的Wonder What's Next已經(jīng)做到了不比Tool最出色的專輯（AMG評5顆星）差的水平。連經(jīng)常不給很多著名樂隊面子的AMG都對他們的這張專輯給出了4顆半星的極高評價。 by Tracy Frey Inspired by the lurching riffs of Helmet and the soft/loud vocal styling of Tool, Chicago-based trio Chevelle's aggressive, heavy sound is all about mounting tension exploding into raw guitar bursts. Formed in 1995, Chevelle comprised brothers Sam (drums), Pete (vocals, guitar), and Joe Loeffler (bass), the last of whom joining up after he played better than the gang's original bassist. They started out playing parties and outdoor events, which quickly led to bookings at Chicago clubs when youngest member Joe was just 14. In 1999, Chevelle released their Steve Albini-produced debut album, Point #1, on Squint Entertainment. Three years later -- and following tours with bands like Filter, Sevendust, Powerman 5000, and Machine Head -- the band had inked a deal with Epic and issued Wonder What's Next, released in August 2002. The album went platinum by the next summer and their second single, "Send the Pain Below," was a number one hit on modern rock and mainstream radio. Main stage dates with the annual Ozzfest tour followed that summer, and 2003 brought a concert album, Live from the Road. Chevelle returned in the fall of 2004 with their third full-length, This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us In), and with it came another hit song, "Vitamin R (Leading Us Along)." Joe parted ways with his brothers in July 2005, and though he was replaced on bass a month later by Dean Bernardini, Chevelle remained a family affair, since Bernardini was their brother-in-law.
