Chevelle is an nu-metal band from Grayslake, IL originally comprised of three brothers (now two) with the surname Loeffler. They formed in 1994 and broke out in 2002 with their signature song, "The Red."

Because their first album (recorded by Steve Albini) was released by Christian record label Squint Entertainment, they were frequently called a Christian rock band, although Chevelle is more correctly classified as alternative metal. They have stated in many interviews that their religious beliefs have little influence on their lyrics. Other popular songs include "Send the Pain Below" and "The Clincher," which been often played on on many popular rock stations. One such station, 97 X, based in Central Florida, has received over 500 requests for "Send the Pain Below" and plays it, on average, four times a day. Chevelle is now signed to Epic Records.

Critics have noted strong similarites to Tool, especially in Peter Loeffler's vocals. In his review of This Type of Thinking (Could Do Us In) for AMG, Johnny Loftus argues that "Loeffler sings with hurt urgency...sounding exactly—unbelievably—like Maynard Keenan."[1] Among other Christian heavy rock groups, Chevelle sounds much like subseven, Stryper, amd Demon Hunter, among others.

Bassist Joe Loeffler was released July 10th 2005 due to "irreconcilable differences" as stated on the band's website (see External Links). Geno Lenardo is assuming bass duties for the rest of their summer shows. Bassist and one-time remix producer Geno Leonardo was replaced by brother-in-law to Sam, Pete, and Joe; Dean Bernadini, as of August 20th 2005.

There has been a pile of suggestions, by e-mail and in person, that my view of Craig MacTavish and his coaching partners is wrong. Many say the coaches should be removed, but I'm still convinced MacTavish, Charlie Huddy, Billy Moores and Craig Simpson do a good job.
