Forging a successful career is an uphill battle for any musician out there these days, even for a trio of blue-collar Midwesterners like Sam, Pete, and Joe, the Loeffler brothers. Chevelle has fought long and hard to get to Wonder What's Next, its Epic Records debut. Self-taught musicans Sam (drummer) and Pete (singer/guitarist) formed the band in their teens, in the basement of a Chicago suburb. The duo eschewed performing covers in favor of writing their own original material.
I am usually in a bad mood when I write a song. I need to be in a silent room by myself if I am going to get anything useable. I can't write around people.
