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...

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?

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.

@TheDukeMan70......I really think you should do some research before making silly statements like that. First of all....Craig didn't have the choice to "stick with Chiodos"....they kicked him out....and it wasn't over his side projects.....first of all Brad Bell was in Cinematic Sunrise with him, and Matt Goddard did Isles and Glaciers with him....and second of all....Craig booked himself full with the side projects because he didn't want to interfere with the band's writing and wanted to give them space to do what they need to do....and also....Chiodos isn't dead because of new members.....you can't make a statement like that until you know who it is....they picked up a nice drummer already

In defense of TheDukeMan70, Craig DID have way too many side projects. Bipolar has a way of making you spread yourself too thin. Owens has bipolar and the reason they kicked Craig out was probably due to drug use ("I'm snorting lines off of the same books I read") or the insurmountiable number of side projects Owens was racking up. I'm an Owens fan and Wentz is a good lyricist. Maybe this project will be good. Maybe not. I'm not sure whether Chiodos will suck as I have yet to listen to the new singer. I still think kicking Craig out was stupid. If your friend has a drug problem or is spreading themselves too thin you can stage an intervention not kick them out of the band.

Whose to say though, that they did and he refused help? I'm a Craig fan but I'm trying to see both sides POV. Craig is a great musician and I'm stoked to see anything he and Mr. Wentz can cook up! :D

Craig is going to be selling out if hes working with Pete. Worst idea ever. Someone as talented as Craig shouldn't lower themselves down to Pete
