A great surprise

"I'd been hearing "Champagne" throughout the summer on rock radio. I saw the video on Fuse a couple of times as well and found myself singing/humming/whistling the hook all the time. On a whim, I checked out Cavo's myspace page and listened to a couple more of the songs. I randomly decided to pick up this disc one day, and I am I ever glad I did...
Cavo blends some great rock hooks, with solid lyrics, and a sound that would fit on rock or pop/rock radio. The tracks "Champagne", "Let it Go", "Cry Wolf", "Ghost" and "Little Secret" are all excellent tunes. I also enjoy "Beautiful" and "We All Fall Down".
I think touring with Daughtry is a great move for them, too. While all of Daughtry's fans aren't necessarily rock fans, Cavo has enough of a radio-friendly tone to their music to appeal to a wide variety of fans.
If you like Daughtry, T.O.A.D., Shinedown, Hinder, or Three Days Grace, Cavo is right up your alley."
CAVO makes their mark

"With their first major release with Warner Bro./ Reprise, Cavo is setting themselves up for a bright future. Their first song from the album, Champagne, is worth the price for admission alone. Let It Go, from the Transformer's 2 Soundtrack may sound more familiar to some, but Champagne will stay with you much long. The album is produced by David Bendeth of Breaking Benjamin and Paramore fame and has a very modern feel. Other songs of note are Cry Wolf, We all Fall Down and the song Ghost which was co-written by Zac Meloy of the Nixons.
From St. Louis, the band is made up of Casey Walker (lead singer), Chad LaRoy (drummer), Chris Hobbs (guitarist) and Brian Smith (bassist). If you are looking for a new and upcoming band, check out Cavo. Better yet, if you get a chance to check them out live; do so. Their melodies and catchy lyrics will drag you and in and their on stage energy (especially Brian smith) will hook you."
Refreshing new band

"As an "older" fan, I am enjoying this album as much as my sons. This band has a new sound that appeals to a broader fan base. Their tour with Daughtry was great. These guys are building fans both with their music and their great personalities. Keep uo the good work. I expect to be hearing a lof of Cavo on the radio in the near future."
