THIS EVENT HAS ENDED
Winter can feel as ominous as it does endless. The seasonal equivalent of a horror flick, the blistering cold and unpredictable curtain of snow teeter between brutal and beautiful. Chevelle—brothers Pete Loeffler [Guitars, Vocals] and Sam Loeffler [drums] and Dean Bernardini [bass, vocals]—work well under these conditions. This atmosphere even inspired the title of the multiplatinum Chicago alternative rock band’s eighth full-length album, The North Corridor [Epic Records].

“The North Corridor is sometimes how we describe the area we live in, Chicagoland,” Pete elaborates. “A lot of people joke about how the winters are so long and cold. It’s just where we live. It’s where we grew up. It’s where we cut our teeth. It’s where we started. The title seemed fitting. There’s a reason we write the way we do. We make heavy music. There are aspects of this area that can be all-encompassing, and you can’t deny them. I’m digging up some dark subjects within that. This is definitely more of a metal album.”

It’s also the next natural step for the trio, continuing a journey that began in 1999 with their full-length debut Point No. 1. Since then, their 2002 platinum-certified Wonder What’s Next spawned hits including “The Red” and “Send The Pain Below,” and 2004’s gold-selling This Type of Thinking Could Do Us Inyielded “Vitamin R (Leading Us Along).” Following the acclaimed Vena Sera in 2007 and 2009’s Sci-Fi Crimes, Hats Off to the Bull bowed at #9 on theBillboard Top 200 in 2011 bolstered by the smash “Face to the Floor.” Most recently, 2014’s La Gárgola earned the band’s highest debut on the Billboard Top 200 at #3, while garnering features from Billboard, Chicago Sun-Times, Rolling Stone, Revolver, Premier Guitar, DRUM! Magazine, and many more.

While writing what would become The North Corridor in late 2014, Pete became a father, and it profoundly impacted the course of the album.

“It’s one of the biggest moments,” he goes on. “We all have kids now. When you embark down the road of writing an album, it starts with songwriting. I’ve got to set time aside to focus. Luckily, I have a cool wife who lets me do that. It’s still difficult to balance since I want to spend as much time as possible with my son. It was such a different experience writing. I really had to budget my time and balance.”
