Daily Heavy: Coheed and Cambria - The Running Free

Coheed and Cambria are a band I discovered only a few years ago whilst they were supporting Deftones.

The word was that Deftones' guitarists Stef Carpenter absolutely loved the band and picked them out as a support act. And I'm telling you, they kicked just as much ass as the Deftones did that evening.

This song comes from their fantastic 2007 album Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow.

It starts with a catchy guitar riff over some synthesized sounds. The verses have an amazing interplay between the guitar riff and bass riff, and vocalist Claudio Sanchez really shines here.

The choruses are more of a straightforward rock affair, but the lead guitar comes in at this point, to great effect.

Coheed and Cambria are one of the best modern rock bands at the moment, I'd urge any rock fans to check out their back catalogue.
