Name Origin:
Coheed And Cambria are names of characters in which their songs tell their stories.
Claudio explained:
"(The album) is pretty much just a story of two characters - Coheed and Cambria - and what befalls them
and their children after they die. It has to do with a different space and time - a political
struggle in this one solar system and how Coheed and Cambria are directly related to
what's going to be the downfall of the entire solar system. But they don't want to be,
and they're trying to prevent it."

This is the first year we've been touring. When the record came out, we went on tour. I guess its been a good year and a month. And been on tour non-stop.
