“The music on this album is very personal to me,” says Ed Sloan, the band’s lead singer. “I can listen and feel the strong emotions that were the catalysts for a lot of the songs. I hope that listeners will be able to hear our music and make it their own, much in the same way that I connected with bands like Metallica, and other artists who really put a lot of actual feelings and meaning into their music and lyrics.”

While Crossfade’s writing process often begins with Sloan fleshing out the basic structure on guitar, kicking around lyrics and melody lines, he says, “When we all get together and start to forge the song as a band, through, that’s when it really takes off. Mitch (James) is a phenomenal bass player, and manages to breathe energy into everything he touches. Tony (Byroads) will just start throwing out vocal ideas and great samples he creates on the pads, and they never fail to add a dimension and depth that wasn’t there before.” The band added drummer James Branham in 2004 when their previous drummer left to pursue other interests.

Since the album was released in April of 2004 the band has sold over a million copies, posted over 350,000 digital downloads and hit the road with acts such as Seether, Alter Bridge, Shinedown, Chevelle and more. Their singles “Cold,” “So Far Away” and “Colors” have all had huge success on the Active Rock, Mainstream Rock and Modern Rock charts including an incredible, record-breaking 65 straight week run on Active Rock for “Cold.”

The Loeffler brothers — drummer Sam, vocalist/guitarist Pete and bassist Joe — formed Chevelle in their Chicago hometown in 1995. With influences that include Tool and Helmet, their moody yet aggressive style came with emotive lyrics, and in 1999, Chevelle released Point #1 , helmed by super-producer Steve Albini of Nirvana fame.

Tours with Filter and Sevendust followed, and in 2002 Epic Records took note, inking the trio to a deal and releasing Wonder What’s Next . What's next was platinum CD sales and hit singles for Chevelle, including "Send the Pain Below," a nomination as Billboard Modern Rock Artist of the Year, and a spot on Ozzfest's main stage in 2003.

Chevelle's most recent outing was a live CD, an unusual move for a relatively new band. But Sam explains the raison d'etre behind 2003's Live From the Road : "This live record was a time capsule to what we have been doing and what we have been sounding like up to this point. Things will be changing as we go into writing our next record. So this was an important thing for us to get down." In 2003, yet another live Chevelle outing hit, the Live At The Norva DVD, which chronicles a day in the life of the band on tour.

The Loeffler brothers are currently home in the Windy City. While fans may be "wondering what's next," Chevelle will not disappoint, as Sam assures: "We have been hard at work in our studio, diligently writing songs for the new record. It's going well, and it's really nice to have our own place to work and not bother anyone, no matter what time of day or night it is!"]]> 2004-03-09T17:00:00-05:00
