Over the past 10 years, Chevelle has had a very successful career producing 10 Top 10 singles, 2 Top 10 albums and remained a staple in the rock scene. The Chicago-trio has taken rock music to another level; their dark, ominous lyrics and unique sound combined with rich overtones make a statement that is hard to ignore and separates them from the rest of the modern rock scene.
