COHEED AND CAMBRIA Announces Summer 2025 North American Co-Headline Tour With TAKING BACK SUNDAY
January 14, 2025COHEED AND CAMBRIA has shared the new single "Someone Who Can" from the band's forthcoming album "The Father Of Make Believe", which is set for release on March 14 via Virgin Music Group. In conjunction with the new song, the band shares its heartwarming Mason Mercer-directed video where we get a glimpse at the early days of COHEED AND CAMBRIA in and around their hometown of Nyack, New York.
"Someone Who Can" follows the previously shared "The Father Of Make Believe" singles "Blind Side Sonny" and "Searching For Tomorrow" along with "Claudio Covers", which arrived at the end of last year and features eight songs reimagined by COHEED AND CAMBRIA's primary songwriter and lead guitarist Claudio Sanchez, including "Just Like Heaven" by THE CURE and "Welcome To New York" by Taylor Swift.
"Someone Who Can" is arguably COHEED AND CAMBRIA's most accessible song in its 24-year career. When asked about the meaning behind the song, Claudio remarked: "When you're growing up, you're perpetually trying to understand the world that's changing around you. Over time, it's comforting to reach the conclusion that you'll never truly have things figured out."
Hear "Someone Who Can" on streaming services and watch the video below.

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. Comprised of Claudio Sanchez (vocals / guitar),Travis Stever (guitar),Josh Eppard (drums) and Zach Cooper (bass) the band has gripped listeners and press around the globe with their visionary compositions and conceptual mastery.
