It's sort of easy to see why Chevelle is oft mistaken for a Christian band. And by "see," we literally mean . The band consists of three wholesome, clean-cut, good-looking, All-American boys—nay, brothers—who just happen to know how to play the rock-n-roll. The music, however, bared no real resemblance to what's generally expected of "Christian Rock." Now, we know we're stereotyping (give us a break, the our knowledge of Christian rock is sort of limited to the horrific spectacle that is Creed and the surprisingly cool Jars of Clay), but there wasn't anything especially glorifying or redemptive about Chevelle's songs. No, in fact lyrically and musically, we'd say it's more gnarled and brooding. Gnarled and brooding being a good thing. Radio staples "The Red," and "Send the Pain Below" were aptly performed live.

A day after the legendary Flaming Lips grace the Festival Pier, WMMR brings in the hard rock for Jaxon's Low Dough Rock Show. Okay, there really isn't any correlation, we just really like the Flaming Lips. But we also like Chicago trio Chevelle (Myspace), playing on Sunday with Staind, Shinedown, and Halestorm (PA's own slightly heavier version of Paramore).
