Coheed & Cambria are a band with, to the general public, a really stupid name. It sounds to most people like you are going to hear a really tearful emo band that like wearing ties slightly askew. Thankfully this couldnt be further form the truth.
This band are hair metal incarnate with a leader singer that resembles a cross between Yogi Bear and Chino Morena (Deftones) an afro is always going to help make a band more interesting for some reason and it certainly works today.
The rain may have stopped outside and everywhere is once again dry yet The Concrete Jungle stage is still totally heaving, nobody is at The Radio One stage and Coheed & Cambria have become one of the most talked bands at the festival.
They leap in to a heavy, pounding, penetrating set that screeches from the stage causing fans in the crowd to pack together and surge towards the band whilst masses of security look slightly worried by a demonic crowd.
Energetic, powerful and searing are words that barely describe the impact of Coheed & Cambria. The only real way to understand them is to watch them live.
