Coheed and Cambria pay fan's mortgage to save her from eviction

by Tyler Munro

Coheed and Cambria fans take the band super bloody seriously. From reconstructing The Amory Wars to hyper-detailed fan fiction, they’ve found a way to invest themselves in Claudio Sanchez’s world beyond the music. And it looks like the band reciprocates on that investment—according to Stereogum, they paid a struggling, die hard fan’s mortgage.

Cyndi Crouch is part of the Coheed and Cambria fan site Cobalt & Calcium and was apparently facing eviction when she put up a crowd funding page online to dig out our of a financial hole. The band saw it and, according to TMZ, immediately pledged the $3000 she needed to get back on her feet.

“She’s a really awesome fan who is extra proactive and supports the band in everything we do,” said guitarist Travis Stever, who should know that I’ve been a fan since the Second Stage Turbine Blade and that I could probably use a bit of a hand with my student loans, you know, since they’re feeling so generous.
