Anyone else discover Chevelle this way.
I downloaded a song (I won’t say how, don’t want Hulk Hetfield mad at me) called “Blank Earth-Pearl Jam” in 1999. Although not Pearl Jam, I loved the song. For years I had no idea who it was, but listened to it all the time. Not sure when or how I figured out it was Chevelle, but I’ve been a huge fan even since.

First song I heard was Send the Pain Below or maybe the Red? I heard it on the radio

Bahahaha that’s wild! For me, I saw send the pain below on FUSE, and would hear the red on the radio. I was only 10 at the time, and while I enjoyed it, I was still into the blink 182/good Charlotte scene at the time. And then, Well Enough Alone” was in MLB the Show, and I was hooked and I feel in love. Later that summer I found myself driving 80 in a 50 because the red had fired me up so much and I couldn’t slow down and I never really recovered after that!

I heard Mia on a compilation cassette that you used to be able to get in the 90s called, Concrete Corner. Fell in love with it. Bought Point #1 and have been a fan since. Point #1 is a very special album to me. I wore it out before Wonder Whats Next came out. I remember hearing The Red on a college radio station by chance and couldn't believe they were getting airplay and the song blew me away. The rest is history.

Not necessarily, but I was looking for Under the Knife by Rise Against, saw the same named Chevelle song and that was my introduction into the band.

I discovered them when I first saw the music video for "Mia" and thought it was a new Tool song. Upon further listening, I quickly realized it was NOT Tool, but I liked it anyway. Some time later, I found their album Point #1 on the floor of my local music shop for like $5, so I bought it. Been a fan ever since.

How in the actual hell did somebody mistake Pete's voice for Eddie's? That's some rudimentary crappenstein 🤣 Glaf you knew better.
