Chiodos

Chiodos is a creative engine synonymous with unrelenting passion, a band whose very existence encouraged a generation of kids to push boundaries, break rules, and make their own art without apology. From Michigan basements to the Warped Tour, runs with Linkin Park and Nine Inch Nails, and Billboard’s Top 5, Chiodos has built a movement that continuously reinvents and reignites.

At the center of Chiodos is its frontman, Craig Owens. His singular voice, artistic fire, and confessional vulnerability turn chaos into catharsis, and theatricality into something deeply human. Nearly 25 years in, Chiodos is once again at the forefront, revitalized and thriving, with Owens carrying the torch. What began with a return at the When We Were Young Festival in 2024 erupted into sold-out tours, festival appearances, and a surge of intergenerational fans singing every word. They sold out the Hollywood Palladium and continually had to upgrade venues across their most recent trek.

The band’s full-length debut, All’s Well That Ends Well, captured lightning in a bottle. Raw, unfiltered, and overflowing with nerve, it captured both the beauty and brutality of youth.

The passionate devotion of Chiodos fans reached a fever pitch, as their peers in bands like Paramore and My Chemical Romance exploded. Bone Palace Ballet debuted at No. 1 on the Rock chart and No. 5 on the Billboard 200, a staggering victory for a band built on sweaty sing-alongs. They supported No. 3 Rock Album Devil in 2014 on tour with A Day To Remember, Bring Me The Horizon, and Motionless In White (following a 2013 Kerrang! sponsored European trek and return to Warped).

Celebrating the anniversary of their classic debut in 2025 and with an eye toward new material, Chiodos is reconfigured, revitalized, and resonating all over again. Owens and company continue to create and inspire. “My goal has always been to have people be able to find us, years later, when we’re no longer around, and have a whole world to jump into and escape whatever they need to escape.”
