Coheed and Cambria

Honestly, this fits your request.

They are a concept band that tells the story of comic books (not nerdy superhero ones, sci-if ones) written by the lead singer. Every song/album has it's place in the story line, as well as a special connection to a moment in the lead singer's own life.

Listening to them turned into a hobby of following the story for me, and it is cool to see a band with this many layers. They have songs that range from metal to punk and pop rock. They can be a bit dark in their lyrics, but those lyrics are obviously associated with low points in the story from the comic books.

Here is a LINK to their wiki for one of their latest releases, a combo album release titled "The Afterman: Ascension" and "The Afterman: Descension".

In that link, if you click the names of the songs in order, it will take you through what is the first portion of the story of "The Amory Wars", as well as inform you of personal connections to the songs themselves.

DISCLAIMER: The title track "The Afterman" has a sad background, yet it was written with a romantic thought in mind by the lead singer when his wife faced a personal tragedy. It hits dem feels. I figure you ladies like all that lovey-dovey stuff.
