Cavo Hits the MetroCentre Saturday May 22nd with Daughtry and Lifehouse

It took me all of 30 seconds listening to “Let It Go” off Cavo’s MySpace page to know that I was going to love their music. I listened to the rest of the MySpace cuts. When I was done, I downloaded Cavo’s debut release; “Bright Nights * Dark Days” from iTunes. As I write this, I am on my third time listening to the album.
I am not going into all the stuff that bands put in their bios; how they got together, what their influences are, how many beers they can chug before or after a concert. Let’s just talk about the music. Essentially that is what is important to me. I want to know if I should take a chance and give a group a listen. So here it the “Quik Beet” five minute review:
The bottom line is Cavo rocks. From what I am hearing listening to “Bright Nights * Dark Days,” they are as good as Daughtry and Lifehouse; two groups that I thoroughly enjoy. So why do I like them? They can write a song with a catchy hook (chorus) within a great melody. They can crank out some great hard rock power chords in one track and come back on another track with a great ballad. Songs like “Champagne” have an excellent hard rock groove that can get your head bouncing (or banging if you have a wall handy). That is a clear sign of a great rock group. The songs are well crafted, well performed and arranged. If this is a style of music that you like, then you should get out to the concert or at the very least check them out on iTunes. I guarantee I will be listening to Cavo cranked up in my office at work tomorrow.
