I’m always intrigued by the tension that exists between life and death. When making Hello Hurricane, there was a graveyard right by the hotel we were staying at while we were mixing it, and I spent a little bit of time there each morning walking through and sorting it out…really Vice Verses started there. This record is as much about loss as it is about what we still have while we’re living.” web: cavomusic.com facebook: facebook.com/Cavo twitter: @CavoMusic Cavo You don't need Merriam Webster to tell you that a band often equals best friends in business together. It starts off great, and everybody loves everybody. But then with success, things change. That's where the communication begins to break down; where punches get thrown; and where second albums are stunted. Band-of-brothers bonds are tested and often break before they bend. St. Louis, Missouri’s Cavo experienced an incredible measure of accomplishment with its Reprise Records debut, 2009's Bright Nights Dark Days, which yielded the No. 1 single, "Champagne," and the Top 5 rock track, “Crash,” and then found itself in the aforementioned position. The rise to the top of the charts nearly tore them apart, leaving their relationships with each other and as a unit tattered. Cavo was hovering in limbo when, after this careful examination of their internal relationships, they realized that anything worth having is worth fighting for. They split with their major label, regrouped as a unit and came out swinging once again. The bonds of band brotherhood and friendship ultimately could not be broken. Walker summed it up best, saying, "[The major label] can take our album or take the song rights, but you can’t take our ability to write good songs or to enjoy playing together. And you can't take our ability to be friends." The road to this healthy place could have been littered with a huge casualty. With their relationships repaired, Cavo is armed with a new album that finds the band where they need to be. With Thick as Thieves, there is nowhere to go but up. |
