If you, Shockya readers, decide to form a band, I suggest auditioning your siblings. There is an undeniable charm about \u201cfamily\u201d bands. Just knowing the outfit is a group of brothers and\/or sisters, I automatically think \u201caw\u201d and typically once the band plays, the music is so naturally in-sync it\u2019s hard to forget. My \u201cfamily bands are awesome\u201d case can be further supported by memorable albums from Kings Of Leon, Oasis (before the Gallagher brawl), Veronicas, Jackson 5, INXS, Bee Gees, My Chemical Romance, Radiohead, AC\/DC and 30 Seconds To Mars. I think I\u2019ve made my point. <\/p>\n
Los Angeles rock band, Canto, will hopefully fall into these legendary sibling footsteps. The trio of brothers, which consists of Seamus (vocals, guitar), Aidan( bass) and David Blackwell (drums), recently released the official music video<\/a> for \u201cDirty Water\u201d, which is off of their upcoming EP, \u201cRide Away\u201d. The track (\u201cDirty Water\u201d) is a mock homage to Boston and is the band\u2019s interpretation of the 1966 garage band classic by The Standbells. The sharp melody coupled with deeply layered and edgy vocals revive the 60s classic and situate it nicely in modern times, where garage rock has been on the rise (Thanks to The Black Keys and Foo Fighters). If one play of this music video doesn\u2019t sell you on the brotherly talent of Canto, I am going to just assume you are a fan of Ms. Taylor Swift. <\/p>\n Canto\u2019s new 5-song EP, \u201cRide Away\u201d, will drop on April 9th. Look out for a free download of the Spring release via the band\u2019s official Facebook Page<\/a>. <\/p>\n
