Chevelle Effect

I always thought the alt-metal/post-grunge band from Grayslake, Illinois was just generic and mediocre. Then I was invited by a friend to a free show of there's. Completely changed my mind on them!!!! I know love Chevelle and totally get it, so whenever I go see a show and a song or band has that same effect, it's known to me as the "Chevelle Effect".

Rob: You see that new Silverstein song live last week?

Craig: DUDE! YES! That gave me total “Chevelle Effect”!!!
