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.

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.

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.

Love it, love it, love it! I was a little unsure if there would be other songs I liked besides the one I bought the CD for...but no need to worry! The entire CD is awesome!

I typically don't listen to entire CDs through in their entirety, since I inevitably get "bored" with a song and skip through the album. This Cavo album, however, is one of only a handful of albums that I listen to in its entirety. Every song is a little different, but the "feel" is familiar and, assuming you like their music, rockin'.

If you buy this because of "Champagne", you may be disappointed. I expected a harder edge to the disc. To each his own, though.

I'm not surprised to hear they opened for "Daughtry" as they have a similar style overall. If you like that, you might not be disappointed. I was hoping for more of a "Sick Puppies", whose "You're Going Down" was more exemplitive of the overall tone of their CD "Tri-Polar".

The album arrived 2 days later than it should have being that it was a "Prime" item with 2 day shipping. So since it was a Christmas gift that I needed by the date it was supose to arrive and didn't, my friend didn't get there gift till after Christmas...very disappointing. Album was new and packaging was fine.

I am not that into anything new. I tend to prefer classic rock, but I do like this group. I heard about them through Cruefest. They were kind of a recommendation from Nikki Sixx. I figured that if he liked them, there had to be something to them. And they are a good group. However, like a reviewer previously stated, there are more slower tracks on here than rockers. But that's okay. This is a good buy and I recommend it to anyone who likes a mix of new rock and old.

I love this CD. If you're a fan of Cavo, get this CD. I saw them in concert and loved them!

I knew that it had at least three "good" songs on it...but it ended up having many more good songs. It was a good purchase.
