Pete Wentz and Craig Owens to collaborate on new project

Alternative Press - Tim Karan on 2/8/10 @ 3:30 PM - altpress.com

After months of not-so-subtle clues and performances together, Pete Wentz has revealed that he and ex-Chiodos frontman Craig Owens will be working on a project together that will be officially announced later this month. According to online reports, the new project will be signed to Wentz's label, Decaydance, and managed by Crush Management.

I hope to hell Owens isnt selling out. He does wayyy too many side projects, he should have stuck with Chiodos(which is dead now with the announcement of the new singer). Owens has so much talent and he should just focus it into 3 or less bands/projects. Who knows...

dussyy
I have faith in him. Hopefully this will turn out well. Im a huge fan of his solo album and hope he does more stuff like that. I did hear somewhere that he will be doing more music like Chiodos and maybe this is what he is working on with Pete?

abcdefaly
i completely agree with dukeman.

I am more interested in what chiodos will be doing. also becoming successful = selling out that's stupid losing craig did not make chiodos less of a band considering craig didn't do much in the first place

I am sorry to hear that you are retarded in your statement agua, because the sounds makes the band, the voice. My mother works in the music industry and I know for a fact that Craig Owens was the sound of Chiodos. If you heard anything new would you know it was Chiodos from the first time that you listened to them. NO. I support Craig Owen and I have hung out with him a few times. He is a good person and is an amazing singer/songwriter. Pete Wentz is also an amazing singer/songwriter and the collaboration that they are planning on doing should be good music.

New Chiodos singer revealed

Alternative Press - Tim Karan on 2/8/10 @ 2:01 PM - altpress.com

Although they had planned to reveal their new vocalist at the Bamboozle California in March and no official statement has been released by Equal Vision or the band, news of the new Chiodos frontman has leaked online: it's Yesterdays Rising singer Brandon Bolmer.

For those who caught the tail-end of this past summer's Warped Tour, this won't be the first time you've seen Bolmer step into another frontman's shoes--he filled in for Tyson Stevens when the singer parted ways mid-tour with Scary Kids Scaring Kids. Yesterdays Rising are a post-hardcore outfit from California, and Bolmer is still currently listed as a member, so it's unclear if he will remain with the band as he begins playing with Chiodos.

Bolmer will replace Chiodos' former vocalist, Craig Owens, who parted ways with the band in September.

Check out a video of Yesterdays Rising below and let us know if you think Bolmer will be a good fit!

... really...?

................wat. ugh.

coramosa
prepare your faces for melting

tasteochaos
He somewhat sounds like Brandon Boyd from Incubus. We'll see about this one. Kinda preferred Jerry Roush despite not really being a big fan of SEA.

civcom12
Kicking out Craig was the worst business decision they could have made. This guy is terrible.

PleaseEnjoi
this is my first time hearing this guy, he doesn't sound too bad, but i think jerry roush would've been a better fit

foblover6713
i support the chiodos so if this is who they wanted has their lead singer then be it

LalalaLily
The guy's not that bad. But it was a really bad decision on Chiodos' part kicking Craig out. Craig was Chiodos.

FFTL89
ehhh hes ight..just gotta see the man perform live...never heard of Yesterdays Rising lol

TheDukeMan70
Okay, first off tasteochaos he sounds NOTHING at all like Brandon Boyd, please formulate better thoughts before speaking. This dude blows. Chiodos is dead.

ScottSupersonic
I really like Yesterdays Rising, but he's definitely not as good as Craig.

sean823
yeah definitely not

abcdefaly
i have been a huge fan of chiodos for a really long time, and even though i was disappointed to hear that they kicked craig out, i still believed in them enough to think that maybe they'd still be good. however, now after i'm hearing brandon bolmer i'm not so sure...i wish craig didn't have so many side projects and would have just focused on chiodos, it was what he was best at.

phyre
This kid is an okay singer, but will never be as good or better than Craig Owens. Craig is irreplacable and I know that Chiodos is going to push this new guy into sounding just like him. Craig WAS Chiodos. It's a cop-out to force Bolmer into being the "new Craig" and they would be much better off starting fresh with a new sound and a new band name.

logan12
This guy is a better singer and almost a better screamer than Craig. If you say Craig was Chiodos, you were never a real fan.

Xdawnkillsdreams
it's not that craig WAS chiodos, he just made the band click just right. for instance, john frusciante and the chili peppers clicked just right or how ozzy and black sabbath clicked together. the bands still went on without those members but they'll never be as good as when they have the right formula like what chiodos had.

catastrophe_queen
He's not that bad but i just don't see myself being a fan because the lyrics will be so different from Craigs and I think thats what made Chiodos so special. But hey I'll give them a chance I guess.
