Coheed And Cambria Return With New Single ‘Shoulders’

---

After almost three years since their last proper studio recording, Coheed and Cambria are back with the release of their new single ‘Shoulders’.

For the past 20 years, the band have continuously tried to break the rock band mould, forging their own paths. Whether it is in the way their genre-spanning approach to songwriting has allowed them to bridge worlds without being contained to one, or the multifaceted story arc of their albums and comic book series which mark the longest-running concept story in music, Coheed and Cambria have consistently shaped new standards, never conformed.

The band’s new song touches on that journey, and how at times it can be frustrating to be an outsider to trendy circles, but in the end, doing it your own way has the biggest rewards.

Vocalist/guitarist Claudio Sanchez comments “In art, in your career, in relationships… No matter how much you give of yourself or try, you have to accept that not everything in life can be a perfect fit.”

Later this summer Coheed and Cambria are set to embark on an outdoor co-headlining amphitheatre tour with The Used. The tour will see the band visiting 18 U.S. cities, and will begin on Friday, Aug 27th in Irvine, CA. The late summer journey will feature special guests Meet Me @ The Altar and carolesdaughter on select dates and will close out in Jacksonville, FL on Sept 24th. Full list of dates and more information are available on the band’s website here.

It’s been almost three years since Coheed and Cambria’s 2018 album, “Vaxis I: The Unheavenly Creatures,” was released as the band’s “return to concept” album. After stepping away with a more introspective album in 2015, frontman Claudio Sanchez and the band returned to the sci-fi universe of “The Amory Wars” in what was said to be the first of a 5-part series of albums. With the release of “Shoulders,” and a major summer tour now announced, the volume of fans’ chatter for “Vaxis 2” are already loading up the band’s social media pages.
