Hot off the heels of a recent radio promo tour, the band is eager to get out and play some new tunes from their upcoming album Thick as Thieves.
The album's lead single and title track continues to gain momentum at active rock radio, pushing in to the Top 30 this week. In addition to climbing the charts, "Thick As Thieves" has been steadily winning head-to-head battles on radio station's websites, beating out bands such as The Red Hot Chili Peppers and Foo Fighters. "We've been itching to get out and play the new stuff for the fans," commented Cavo singer Casey Walker.

The storyline traces Cavo's evolution over the past few years, and also features an Alternative Addiction exclusive interview with singer Casey Walker. Cavo experienced an incredible measure of success with its debut, 2009's Bright Nights Dark Days, which yielded the No. 1 hit "Champagne." The band's rise to the top of the charts and subsequent touring nearly tore them apart, leaving their relationships with each other and as a unit in shreds. After a brief break and careful examination of their friendships and motives, Cavo decided to soldier on together.
Thick as Thieves is the band's testament to their bond that was once broken and has now been rebuilt and even strengthened. The title track and first single showcases front man Casey Walker's soaring vocals with a message furthering the notion that things are tighter than ever in the Cavo ranks. Formed in St. Louis in 2002, Cavo is Chris Hobbs (guitar), Chad LaRoy (drums), Brian Smith (bass) and Casey Walker (vocals). The band's last album, Bright Nights Dark Days, was released on Reprise Records in 2009 and sold over 120,00 albums and over 450,000 singles. Cavo has toured with Daughtry, Shinedown, Lifehouse, and Puddle of Mudd among others.
