The Neverenders are a group of talented musicians with a goal and passion to create a professional and loyal Coheed and Cambria tribute experience. In a sense it has existed across many forms and members over the past decade through online cover videos, playing songs in local cover bands, performing to lines in front of Coheed tour venues for fellow fans or at Coheed fan events, etc. However, the band as it is now known formed in early 2021 based around a concept to play some underground guerilla style performances on the first SS Neverender Coheed Cruise. That idea began picking up momentum as these online acquaintances started traveling all around the United States to rehearse together. After those several late-night performances in the cruise’s Faint of Hearts bar and the bonds created with each other and other Coheed fans, they realized this was something bigger than just a one-time thing. They played again on the SS Neverender II cruise in 2023, however this time they were lucky enough to also be able to both play onstage with Coheed and Cambria for a special song premiere, and have Coheed’s drummer Josh Eppard play percussion with them on several songs. Truly a dream come true to meet and play music with their heroes! And now with that experience and those connections made, The Neverenders are expanding even further to playing local shows in a venue near you!
This tribute band has always been about sharing wonderful music with wonderful people, creating opportunities to bring Coheed fans together for a more intimate and sing-along community performance. The Neverenders accurately perform each track, paying dedication to each note and how the band itself would play them live. They include long forgotten interludes, and intros and outros to your favorite songs. Their setlists are long, span the entire discography, and are filled with both deep cuts and the hits. They’ll play both fully electric and acoustic sets as well.
