The #1 song on 99X for February is “Face To The Floor,” by Chevelle.

This is the first single from their sixth album, “Hats Off to the Bull,” and gives the listener a little more insight into what is getting these dudes so hot.

Over a chugging, post-grunge guitar riff, singer Pete Loeffler proclaims, “To pick up the tip doesn't mean a lot – Fiddle inside your drawers – If we own the night then spread it out – Or pack up without a clue.”

This is how most of the nation is smarting from hard economic times — complete with a Bernie Madoff reference in the lyrics — “Floor” delivers nearly four minutes of the cathartic alt-metal fans have come to expect from Chevelle.
