Chiodos

Too many.

Intro sounds like Chiodos.

It's just like piano.

So Idris, I was like, wait, what is this?

It's just the piano part.

It's just because it's the only part of the record that has actual just piano.

But the thing is, if you think about Chiodos and this band, they're probably pulling from a space that's very similar, but you don't think that.

Because you have Craig Owens

Yeah.

Uh, which is honestly like kind of fascinating to me, but cause you had like Craig Owens from Chiotos and like Anthony green, like, like you had these guys that were like, okay, we're going to sing high.

We're going to also do the screaming.

That's like

It was like music and business.

Um, And we were just getting off the road with Chiotos or something.

We were playing at Crowfoot.

And I remember we all stayed at my parents' house.

All right.

Ford Chiodos? Yeah.

Chiodos, Say Six, and one of your Ewan Reed's bands.

156 something or other? Oh, it's 156 Silence.

They're playing.

Um, [chuckles] I saw someone that said, "The Vans Warped Tour is back.

Saosin and Chiodos are putting out music again.

I think I've stepped into a, a time machine to 2004," or some shit like that, you know what I mean? 2006.

But we got two bands that I used to listen to a lot back in high school who, I don't know if they've technically been completely inactive, but definitely just have not been putting out music consistently, but they both put out videos and new singles as of recent.

So figured we'd show them some love, kinda switch up the vibe a little bit.

Saosin's a little more, um, I guess just, like, rock, if you will, and then Chiodos is definitely a little bit heavier, kinda hardcore rock.

So we'll start with...

You know what's funny is, if you've been watching this show for a while or listening to this show, I played Chiodos way back when in the early episodes where we were going over the case that they were using hip-hop lyrics to indict rappers and stuff like that, and I played a Chiodos song and a couple other, you know, rock songs that have pretty disturbing or sadistic lyrics, and Chiodos was one of those bands.

I also would have thrown a tantrum, but I'm in, [laughs] I'm with Oster on that.

I remember I w- I was watching Parkway Drive- And, um, then Brady comes up, he's like, "Chiodos is about to start playing over there." I'm like, "All right." So I go with him so he could go own the, the, the dance floor for Chiodos.

[laughs]

And he did.

[laughs]

Made by the same guys that did the Killer Klowns from Outer Space, the Chiodos, who also have a band named after them.

Yeah, they're pretty nasty.

So nasty, Jordan.

I'm not really a huge Underoath fan, but I was like, "I don't...

We shouldn't even be here right now." I'm like, "All right." It was either Underoath or Chiodos probably.

Oh my God.

I'm the weird guy that my favorite Underoath record is that Lost in the Sound of Separation, um, which...

Mm-hmm.

Um, but like, like Chiodos I special ordered white for that one, 'cause Craig Owens is always wearing white.

Um, Motion City I did do one special duck with their most recent album artwork, and it was, uh, Motion City Sound Quack that I wrote on it.

[laughs]

Yeah.

And so I mean, it, that was, you know, interesting to hear, but Pierce the Veil's cool.

I also saw them in 2007 open for Chiodos, and so I'm, I don't know.

I'm less impressed than a lot of people seem to be now.
