Coheed and Cambria

No band photos are anywhere to be found in Coheed and Cambria's The Second Stage Turbine Blade (Equal Visions). In fact, the only people depicted in the album art are the mythical title characters: our boy Coheed and his girl Cambria. Given the soaring, high-pitched vocals, one would assume Cambria handles the singing; the credits are vague and don't specify otherwise. Therefore it's shocking -- shocking! -- to discover C&C is a quartet made up entirely of men; Singer-guitarist Claudio Sanchez's voice rivals Geddy Lee in pitch and passion. (Makes you wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy.) Seeing them in person at The Troc should alleviate such confusion, however, and allow first-timers to focus on the other remarkable aspect of their music: its flexibility. Second Stage starts out sounding like a Bauhaus throwback, switches gears to chipper northeastern punk for the middle section and brings things down with clean guitars and rolling arpeggios. In the end, it doesn't matter what they are -- men, women, goth, indie -- they rock and keep you on your toes.

Thu., Oct. 10, 7 p.m., $12, with Hot Water Music, Thrice, The Start, The Trocadero, 1003 Arch St., 215-922-LIVE.
