Brandon was the best thing to happen to Chiodos. At least he left because he wanted to.

whoaaaaa

I guess you could say the words best friend become redefined. Seriously though, when I was a senior in high school they sold out shows left and right. I think they'd be lucky to get a show with 300 people. The musical field is simply changing once again.

RIP good chiodos

Sounds like it'll be more dark, atmospheric stuff. A la Scott Walker.

Love how different those statements are.

No, it's because there were so many fair weather fans that came out to shows just to maybe get the chance to touch Craig.

I actually liked the last Chiodos record the most out of all their stuff. Not too familiar with Bolmer, but his explanation seems pretty honest and not petty at all. Will probably check out stuff from him.

Some shit had to been going down in Chiodos camp. Seems like they haven't made a peep in forever.

FUCK. I have so much love for Illuminaudio. I really wanted that lineup to do another album.

Loved Illuminaudio and I thought Tanner and Brandon were great additions to the band. In the end though, the original Chiodos guys are too tight knit to allow basically strangers have control over the band. Tanner is one of the best drummers in the genre but I think the hip-hop drumming business fits him a lot better. I just really hope Chiodos don't hang it up after this. They bring originality to a dying genre.

If Craig doesn't rejoin I would think they have to throw in the towel. Any new singer is going to have the same expectations from fans that Bolmer had to deal with. I don't see Tillian being able to take them to the next level. Not because he lacks talent, but imo chiodos will only reach the success they had before with craig in the band. Thats what the fans want.

saw this coming, bands been silent since last year. They kicked out their singer who had a unique voice, replacing him was never gonna work.

Bone Pallace Ballet and Illuminaudio were FUCKING TERRIBLE. this band is done.
its not 2004 anymore people, move on

They kicked out Craig because he was an egomaniac and wanted to work on his solo stuff rather than recording or touring with Chiodos.
