Chiodos Reunites with Craig Owens, Announces Tour

      Perhaps one of the most defining bands of the post-hardcore movement, Chiodos, has announced that ex-vocalist Craig Owens has decided to come back to the band, completing the circle that began with his departure in 2009 to form similar act Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows. In a just as-stunning move, the band also announced an American tour for this fall to celebrate this reunion after almost two years of silence. The best part? The tour features the original lineup!
      Formed in 2001, the Michigan band has had its fair share of drama, but has a stellar track record so far. With or without Owens, Chiodos' long history has not yet been marred by a bad album. The group's unique take on post-hardcore - described by one of my friends as 'almost chill' -  makes listening to them a profoundly unique experience. For what it's worth, while I can't make the reunion tour date, this is still profoundly exciting news, even if it does raise several questions: What will happen to Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows? Is the lineup back for good? What about Brandon Bolmer (Owens' replacement for 2010's Illuminaudio)? We'll only find out in time.
