Background

Chiodos started off at the Flint Local 432, a tiny venue in downtown Flint, Michigan and Old Jamestown Hall in Saginaw, Michigan. From there, the band started touring extensively, soon becoming "word-of-mouth faves across the nation."^[5] Chiodos has toured the United States at least seven times, and have played alongside such bands as Anti-Flag, New Found Glory, Set Your Goals, Pierce The Veil, From First to Last, Coheed and Cambria, Saosin, Armor for Sleep, Atreyu, Yellowcard, The Used, Senses Fail, Aiden, The Devil Wears Prada, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Emery, Every Time I Die, Alesana, My Chemical Romance, Underminded, Night at the Symphony, 30 Seconds to Mars,^[6] and Linkin Park. The band is known for their on-stage performances which include controlled, high-pitched vocals from lead singer, Craig Owens. Craig Owens has cited lead singer of Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, etc. fame, Mike Patton as one of his greatest influences saying, "I only wish I could be as good as him." One of their most notorious live sets was at the New Jersey music festival "the Bamboozle" on May 7, 2006, which they played under the alias of "Fluff My Boner." From this set a plethora of videos were released on YouTube almost immediately following the show. The band also performed May 6 at "The Bamboozle" festival under their own name.
