'Sci-Fi Crimes' Can Be a Good Thing Too: A Conversation with Pete Loeffler from Chevelle

September 17th, 2009 2:16pm EDT Post a comment

Throughout their near 15 year existence, Chevelle has yet to release a bad album. After streeting their fifth, and latest, 'Sci-Fi Crimes,' why would you think they would start now?

This is an awesome interview. It's nice to see some different questions asked and even a few song meanings. This album might be the best, and Chevelle just keeps getting better.

I say the next single should be "Letter from a Thief." It's very single worthy. Great album, great band. 'Nuff said.

I hear the " real rock band" sound you're talking about and jars on the radio actually reminded me of older albums.. Great job guys.. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU ON TOUR.

good stuff. glad to finally hear "straight from the horse's mouth" about the album. weird that the red didn't go through for rock band though. My hopes are still for shameful metaphors for the next single.

Good article, great band. I always enjoy hearing the history behind or motivations to write a given song. Looking forward to finally seeing Chevelle in OKC. I've had tickets but missed them twice. Once due to birthday over-celebrations and another due to LiveNation posting inaccurate start times for the show. Keep rockin' guys...

Pete and the guys always keep their heads in the right place and stay focused on the music, which has made them successful in every sense that a band should be. This is why their music continues to be amazing and why they've had such a huge impact in my life. ♥ CHEVELLE!

My anticipation for Chevelle's new album was like never before. Mainly because i have been watching Chevelle become progressively better as they come out with new material. Just when i thought they have done their best they come out with something else that tops whatever they have done in the past. Its interesting to hear lead singer, Pete Loeffler, talk about the meaning behind their new album, songs, and the outlook of this up coming year. Cant wait to catch up with them on tour once again. Its always a great time!

Great interview, it's nice to see different questions in there. I agree that it's impossible for these guys to release a "bad" album. Sci-Fi Crimes, as a whole, is probably one of the best they've released so far.

Nice I've been waiting for a in depth interview about their new album. I love it how Pete is so down to earth with people and cn really relate to them. I recently went to a Tony Hawk skate demo so that's pretty cool Chevelle's going to have a song on there!
