Coheed and Cambria are celebrating the 10th annual release of thier first album, The Second Stage Turbine Blade. They rock, and they rock hard! Even though the band has released five amazing albums, the focus for this tour was all about the first.
"The Keywork", a commonly used logo for the band, symbolizes the energy stream between the planets in Coheed and Cambria's fictional universe.Coheed formed in 1998, and released thier first album in 2002 with songs like: The Devil in Jersey City, Welcome Home, and Pearl of the Stars. All songs are written by Claudio Sanchez, who is the lead vocals and guitarist for Coheed and Cambria. The other members include; Chris Pennie – drums, Travis Stever – guitar and backing vocals, and Michael Todd – bass guitar. The band is still currently on tour in celebration of thier album release anniversary. They produce phenominal live material, and they are a show never to miss!

Coheed and Cambria isnt a mainstream or extremely well known band, but not only do they deserve more recognition than they have, but they have something on every albulm to appeal to every type of listener. They have a wide range of styles when it comes to thier music, from slow songs, to catchy, to just rocking out. Aside from thier SSTB (Second Stage Turbine Blade) album, they have four others:
These albums include songs like Blood Red Summer, Feathers, Wake up, A Favor House in Atlantic City, and The Running Free. The band is very low key, and is just going to keep making thier music how they want, wether it appeals to tons of audiences or not. Therefore to the audiences that are attracted to them, they will stand the test of time; so far ten years and still rockin strong. Claudio Sanchez is the heart and soul of the band with his unique vocals and killer fro.
Coheed and Cambria is a great example of the diversity in our culture today, they are typically labled as progressive rock, and appeal to mainly a single type of audience. Rocker/Emo ish stereotypes are usually who I would pin point thier audience to, but the amazing part about Coheed, is that they are just making music, and arent trying to be any one thing. Thier songs are mainly open for interpertation with lyrics like " When the answer that you want, is in the question that you state, come on".

Coheed and Cambria can do no wrong, with each album being as great as the last. From the music, to the shows and beyond, they are never dissapointing, and will continue to make some of the best music ever made. The downside to the band is that they are just not well known, but i think thats how they like it. They have a very devoted fan base, that will follow and look forward to each concert, and every new song. The very best part about them is they are so unique.
I attended the 10th anniversary Neverender STTB tour on May 6th, and i will vouch for it being one of the very best shows i have ever attended. They do an hour accustic set, and hour of rocking hard, and 45 mins of an encore. They played with no openers, they would put anyone before them to shame. Ive listened to them for many years, and I will continue to listen to them all the time. I will continue to buy thier cd's, merch, and go to thier shows. They will always be one of my favorite bands. Long live Coheed! :)
