Time flies when you're Chevelle, who are celebrating their 30th year as a band with new music, and upcoming tour, and more surprises along the way. Brothers Pete Loeffler and Sam Loeffler recently checked in with Audacy's Abe Kanan to preview what's to come in 2025 and look back on their Chicago beginnings.
On Tuesday, Chevelle shared plans for a headlining tour across the country, taking along Asking Alexandria and Dead Poet Society for the trek. In doing so, they also alerted fans, "Who is ready for new music? Want to hear it live? We will hit the road again this summer to kick off our ALBUM TOUR." The latest chapter for Chevelle begins with "Rabbit Hole (Cowards, Pt. 1)," a blistering new song destine to be a part of their incoming album this summer.
"They talk about a certain topic, but they don't sound the same," Pete says of part 1 of "Cowards" and the yet-to-be-revealed part 2. The band is hopeful that the album will arrive in August before the kickoff of their tour.
"They're pretty particular about having every single part of everything finished before they give you a release date, like all the artwork has to be finished and things like that. So, but the tour starts August 7 in San Antonio," shares Sam. "It would be nice if the record was out when the tour starts, right?"
All of this coincides with Chevelle being together for 30 years (by our count), technically longer for the brothers at the center of it all. "Sam and I started this band when we were in our teens. So, it's just 30 years is like, yeah, it's just always been us," remarks Pete. "We're brothers, we talk every day, our families hang out, we do a lot of stuff together, we go on tour together. It just works. It works until it doesn't, right Sam?"
"I think that we've gone through so many chapters in life already that we will never gets to that 'can't patch it up.' [stage]"
As Chevelle endures through a brotherly bond, the two have a message to share with fans as they enter another era. "I would say about this new music, that we've worked really hard on it, and I think it's some of the best stuff we've ever done, honestly."
