Chevelle Jars

Chevelle - Jars (Official Music Video)
Get ready for a gripping ride with Chevelle’s "Jars," a powerhouse track from their 2009 album Sci-Fi Crimes. This official music video, directed by Nathan Karma Cox, perfectly complements the song’s intense energy with a blend of raw performance and cinematic drama. Chevelle, a cornerstone of rock since the early 2000s, is renowned for their heavy riffs, melodic hooks, and clever lyrics—and "Jars" delivers all of that in spades.
Filmed in a sprawling wheat field under the night sky, the video showcases the band—brothers Pete Loeffler, Sam Loeffler, and Dean Bernardini—rocking out with unrelenting force. But it’s not just about the music: a parallel storyline unfolds, following a man kidnapped and trapped in a speeding car. As he fights to break free, the tension builds, culminating in two alternate endings that leave you guessing. The song itself, according to drummer Sam Loeffler, takes a quirky swipe at environmentalism, imagining a world where we “put the earth in jars” to save it for later—a twist that adds depth to the video’s edge.
