With their second album, ''Wonder What's Next'' and its breakthrough singles, "The Red" and "Send the Pain Below", Chevelle achieved great mainstream success. If you listen to any Alternative music station regularly, you've probably heard several of their songs. The band's style features heavy, down-tuned riffs, a driving rhythm section and Pete Loeffler's versatile singing, which can jump from a serene whisper to a shout in a moment's notice. Joe left the band in 2005 for disputed reasons and was replaced by Dean Bernardini, Pete and Sam's brother-in-law.

** HarsherInHindsight as, a couple of albums later Joe would leave/be kicked out of Chevelle (depending on whose side of the story you listen to) on acrimonious terms, only to be replaced by Dean Bernardini - the Loefflers' brother-in-law. One can only imagine that makes for some awkward family reunions - if, in fact, there are any at all.
