Coheed and Cambria

It would be hard to find a band with grander artistic scope than Coheed and Cambria. Over the course of nine years and four groundbreaking albums, the New York foursome (Claudio Sanchez – vocals, guitar; Travis Stever – guitar; Michael Todd – bass; Chris Pennie – drums) has diligently developed a unique sound combining forward-thinking classic rock with strong pop sensibilities and intricate musicianship. Simultaneously, through his lyrics and comics, Sanchez has created a celebrated epic alternate universe called The Amory Wars, in which lies an ongoing conceptual tale that gains depth and complexity with each and every record.
Formed in 2001, Coheed and Cambria came storming out of the indie-rock gates with the release of their first album, The Second Stage Turbine Blade, on Equal Vision Records. Endless touring and progressive, hook-laden songs like "Delirium Trigger" and "Devil in Jersey City" led to the rapid development of the band's early fan base. The follow-up, 2003's In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3, was certified RIAA gold on the strength of the group's ongoing intense touring schedule and the hit singles "Blood Red Summer" and "A Favor House Atlantic." The band emerged as a tour de force, embraced not only by their now fanatical fans, but also by radio, press and MTV. The new album, titled Year of the Black Rainbow, was released in April 2010 and as most Coheed and Cambria fans know, is the “origin” or “prequel”, and likely the final chapter of the ongoing concept story The Amory Wars.
Coheed's knack for writing indelible songs combined with monolithically powerful album tracks and the band's heavy follow through, secured their status as a massive live draw and presence around the world. Be sure not to miss Coheed and Cambria when they play the Wentworth Room on October 28th!
