Chevelle
Comment:
In a move that screams, "We're not messing around," 17 grueling days went into Chevelle's gate-crashing debut, 1999's [i]Point #1[/i]. Not just any recording session, either; with Steve Albini of Big Black and Shellac behind the boards, Chevelle learned how to harness the power of pure noise and deliver hooks with the subtlety of hail stones (see the chug-a-lug lead of "Open" and sinister dynamics of "Dos"). Such tension-tapping techniques have come in handy every time Chevelle hits the road, whether frontman Pete Loeffler is leading the power trio through a slew of time changes ("SMA") or a brief, laidback break (the ominous overtones of "Grab Thy Hand").
