We have all this baggage that we brought into this. We can come off stage and have a great show, and we can walk into the dressing room and somebody will just blow up at the other person for no reason. Loeffler: You never know what side of the bed somebody’s gonna roll off – roll out of their bunk and be in a good mood or a bad mood.
Loeffler: I like to run, mountain bike and take out our cars and beat on them and do doughnuts.ĪP: What’s it like being in a band with your two brothers? That’s the negative part of being in a band with brothers, and there’s a lot of good stuff.ĪP: Are you able to unwind when you finish a tour? That’s pretty much what we deal with on the road. Then we ended up patching it up that night and left the next morning. The tour was over before it even started. First day of this tour, Joe destroyed his bass.

Singer-guitarist Pete Loeffler talked with The Associated Press about smashed guitars, meathead fans and walking out on the Carson Daly show.ĪP: You’ve been on tour since late October.

The album has sold well, going gold six weeks after its September release. Powered by “Send the Pain Below,” a single that topped Billboard’s modern rock and mainstream rock charts, the album went platinum and landed the group on the Ozzfest tour.Ĭhevelle has followed this up with a second full-length album, “This Type of Thinking Could Do Us In,” and the group now sits atop the heavy rock pile with just a few other bands. The group released its first album for Epic Records, “Wonder What’s Next,” in 2002. Songs like “Vitamin R (Leading Us Along)” balance heavy, distorted guitar riffs with melodic lulls in the skewed metal tradition of Korn and Tool. Pete, 28, Sam, 29, and Joe Loeffler, 24, three Chicago-area brothers, have been making head-banging rock since 1995.
