ABOUT CHIODOS:

Formed in 2001 in Davison Michigan (just outside Flint, MI), Chiodos released two full length studio albums with lead vocalist Craig Owens:  All’s Well That Ends Well (2005) and Bone Palace Ballet (2007) resulting in sales of over 500,000 units and 740,000 digital tracks in North America alone.  All's Well That End's Well debuted at #3 on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart and Bone Palace Ballet debuted at #5 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart, and #1 on the Billboard Independent, Alternative, Rock and Hard Rock Charts. During a well-documented brief time apart from lead vocalist Owens formed/played with new band D.R.U.G.S. and Chiodos released their third album, Illuminaudio in 2010.  Owens reunited with Chiodos in early 2012 and soon after added guitarist Thomas Erak.   During the last year, the band played a handful of high profile U.S. shows and toured the UK in early 2013 as part of an annual Kerrang! Magazine branded tour.   The band has graced the cover of Alternative Press two times and front man Owens has graced the cover five times. Chiodos has received accolades worldwide praising the band’s innovative and exhilarating sound.  The band has been a headliner across the globe, as well as touring with bands such as Linkin Park, Coheed And Cambria, N.I.N., Alice In Chains, 30 Seconds To Mars, Bad Religion and many more.
