Chevelle - Letter From A Thief (Official Music Video)
Dive into the intense world of Chevelle’s "Letter From A Thief," a standout track from their 2009 album Sci-Fi Crimes. This official HD music video brings the song’s raw energy to life, blending electrifying performance footage with a gripping narrative inspired by a real-life event. In 2009, while on tour in Dallas, Chevelle’s equipment was stolen—including frontman Pete Loeffler’s prized red PRS guitar. Though they recovered just over half of their gear, the experience fueled this track, channeling frustration and resilience into powerful music. The video reflects this tension with a cinematic storyline that echoes the song’s themes of loss and defiance.
Shot with high production values, the video features the band—Pete Loeffler (vocals/guitar), Sam Loeffler (drums), and Dean Bernardini (bass)—delivering a commanding performance. Its gritty yet polished visuals perfectly match the song’s heavy riffs and melodic intensity. Drummer Sam Loeffler has hinted that the lyrics take aim at opportunists who "lead when everybody sleeps," adding a layer of bite to this rock anthem. It’s a story of turning setbacks into strength, wrapped in Chevelle’s signature alternative metal sound.
