Chiodos performs "One Day Women Will All Become Monsters"

For the Michigan punk band Chiodos, the touring schedule has been nonstop and intense. After New Jersey’s Bamboozle Festival, they immediately headed out with The Blackout Pact, shooting the video for their song “Baby, You Wouldn’t Last a Minute On the Creek” while the tour was in full swing. All this took a toll on lead singer Craig Owens, who fell ill back in mid-May, forcing the band to cancel ten tour dates, all told. Luckily for Buffalonians, Owens has made a full recovery and picked Buffalo as the stop to resume touring in support of their debut album All’s Well That Ends Well (Alter Ego). The album offers an exciting blend between two musical extremes, when harmonic vocals and hooks contrast with heavy metal chords and gut wrenching screams. Chiodos appears at the Town Ballroom tonight (Thursday, June 15th), along with metal meisters Haste The Day and The Showdown, punk rockers Flee the Seen and Buffalo’s own hardcore band It Dies Today.
