Most bands shy away from the labels that the critics and the public slap on them. But according to Coheed and Cambria bassist, Mike Todd, he welcomes being called a progressive emo band. Well maybe not so much welcomes but he could honestly give a fuck what you call them as long as you got their flavor in your ear. Coheed and Cambria was started in Woodstock in 1995 by Claudio Sanchez, Travis Stever, Michael Todd and Joshua Eppard.

Their latest album is called In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth:...

So stoked to see an interview with CO&CA..

My best Coheed and Cambria memory was when my band got to play with them right after Second Stage Turbine Blade came out. They were coming down to play Macrock and we booked them for a house show in my hometown. It was packed with sweaty kids in a room that only fit 100 people and we had to hold back the kids from bumping into the band because there was no stage and people were going nuts. It was probably the last house show they ever played.. because pretty much after Macrock is when they started blowing up. They're amazing musicians, amazing guys.. and it's incredible to see all their recent success.

And their new album blows my fucking mind.

Not only have i posted a couple of things on INDIE Groupe about these guys but in every journal entry i've made i had to include coheed and cambria lyrics,
I first saw these guys live with Bloodlet and then was lucky enuff to catch the acoustic set Claudio preformed in cleveland,He was unreal!Seems like these guys put there heart and soul into there music and it shows, I hope it pays off big for them because they deserve it.The best thing about them is at the show in cleveland Claudio and mike were out front at the Merch stand just chilln talking it up watching the Red Sox game on a small TV,Not many people really new them i guess, and they were nice enuff to talk a bit.

i lovelovelove Mike Todd! i met him after Neverender last month and was so terribly starstruck that it was embarrassing. i follow the church of Claudio Sanchez. all the fellas in the band are so brilliant and talented. i'm getting a Coheed tattoo collage on my leg, i can't wait to add more to it.

and i always thought they smoked ganga. this makes me a happy girl :]
and i swear to god Claudio must have taken SOME sort of psychedelic hallucinogen when coming up with the complex alternate universe and story line behind the CD's

i'm fucking obsessed i need to stop.
