Sometimes you need a little classical music, sometimes it's heavy metal. And sometimes you need a crooning voice injected into both genres. Coheed and Cambria does just that. "Cambria" comes from the classical name of Wales, while "Coheed" has roots in Old Welsh and means "from the root country or territory." The name itself is all over the place, much like this eclectic band. Though it's not really for mainstream consumption, this group lends its own brand of musical brilliance to create a truly unique sound.

As soon as Def Jam Recordings heard her, Jay-Z snatched her up, and here she is, touring in all her alluring glory.
