Two years after reforming for When We Were Young, following their hiatus in 2015, Chiodos have released a new single, TAPDAT, and announced their signing to SharpTone.

The song is the Michigan post-hardcore band's first new music in over a decade, and follow's singer Craig Owens re-recording their All's Well That Ends Well debut last year for its 20th anniversary.

It marks the start of a new chapter for the band, with Craig saying, “There is still so much work to be done to build out the world of Chiodos. TAPDAT is the first step in that direction.

“Its return to our ethos is what drew me back to creating with this band, and you can feel it throughout every minute of the song. An unapologetic, experimental ride that pulls you in every step of the way.

“As for the future of Chiodos, I'm surrounded by incredible talent. We are stronger, more focused than ever and eager to continue the story I've been waiting 12 years to tell.”
