Sign in to disble this ad
Ive been hearing this band alot lately, their current single , "A Favor House Atlantic". At first I didnt like it , but its starting to grow on me , and I find myself singing along to it. They strike me as a Rush love child or something, mainly because of the Geddy Lee style vocals. But i just cant figure out what genre theyd be under, punk , prog rock , emo?? Can anyone tell me more about them? Thanks

I fail to find the emo in it. They are a concept band, their albums tell a story of and apocalyptic intergalactic war type thing that is REALLy effed up! I strongly suggest you pick up their 2 albums, The Second Stage Turbine Blade, and In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth 3. As for the lvoe child of Rush, Claudio (the singer) actually hates Rush, and was in no way trying to be Rushesque. Coheed are one of the few new bands with talent. Granted their single is probably the 2nd worst song on the album but hey! Pick it up, you will certainly enjoy it! Then try to decifer the whole story (and read up on it on their message boards) It really is some messed up stuff! Their bassist is pretty cool, I think he wa sin last months (the one before the edition with Les on the cover) edition of Bass Player. Hope this helps

What a great album. I've had it in constant rotation since I bought it. They may hate Rush, but they sure do channel them well, especially on the title track and "The Crowing." I just love the variety of the songs, and all the cool little vocal and lead guitar things they throw in. The bass playing is really good -- mostly uncomplicated and very solid, with some very tasty licks here and there. Highly, highly recommended.

It's the best thing to come out of quasi mainstream music since AFI's last 3 albums. (only Sing the Sorrow made it mainstream though..) |

Sounds like an as$hole to me. |

Sounds like an as$hole to me. | He actually said that he respects them as musicians and knows they are good and yada yada yada but he was never able to get into them. Hes not a jerk, He's really cool actually (I"ve never met him) but like he's always around and like signing stuff and chillaxing with fans and everythign and form what my friends say hes cool. I just listened to the Mars Volta now (Ive been meaning to for a while......they kind of suck) |

Its the whole Bee Gee's effect thingie, why does he sound like he's inhaling helium!!!???! He's a big guy (and I like his hair) but the way he sings really took me aback. Aside from that...they're a band.
I suppose Coheed and Cambria vs. Mars Volta will be the catalyst for numerous flame wars and vicious slander on their respective webpages and even all across the internet. Huzzah.

Sounds like an as$hole to me. | Maybe he was joking?? Not many people have the audacity to say Rush sucks, unless their joking.

Hippy music. If I see Geddy Lee I'm gonna throw my bass at him, mark my words. I hate this band with a passion. |

Coheed is playing here a week from today on the Warped Tour and I can't go. Damn.
