Coheed and Cambria is that rare band that can draw from contrary rock movements and not appear confused and pretentious. Influenced by the hardcore from New York City and the pop of their suburban youth, the quartet flits between violent barks and suddenly sweet singing. With almost androgynous vocals, the schizophrenic back-and-forth pulls listeners along through each of the band’s Jekyll and Hyde-like songs. The occasionally bleak Second-Stage Turbine Blade, the group’s latest album, carries an overall positive feeling, one that has been connecting with emocore kids tired of plaintive and dreary acts. Coheed and Cambria, with Thrice and Thursday, performs at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, November 12, at Club Ovation, 3637 S. Federal Hwy, Boynton Beach. Call 561-740-7076.
