Cavashawn (White)

Cavashawn released their much anticipated sophomore EP, Cavashawn (White), June 17th. The EP includes five new songs recorded in Santa Monica, CA earlier this year. With the help of producer Jim Wirt, Cavashawn has spawned yet another cluster of musical cohesion that continues where their first EP, Cavashawn (Black), left off.

1.) All The Lonely Girls

"All the lonely girls, all around the world, sing the saddest song tonight."

The song kicks off the EP much like Out of My Mind did for their first. Heavy guitar and a great rhythm makes any lonely girl rock out to a song honoring her plight.

2.) Keep The Light On

"I've been gone the longest time. It seems that you're no longer mine. I told you that when I return, the love I have for you will burn."

A punchy rock ballad with vocals and melody that reminds the listener of love songs from the 50's. Easily the best song on the EP with a rhythm one will find themselves slowly swaying their their hips and other such body parts.

3.) Secret Satisfaction

"I'm your secret satisfaction. Short on words, but long on action."

A song about what every guy should want in a relationship; all action. Yet the narrator's opinion seems to shift in the middle asking, "Am I your man? Or just another good time?" A highly fun and intriguing song, smartly written with a surprising twist that maybe even guys want more to a relationship than just "high action."

4.) The Day You Forgot About Me

"It was sometime last September, when the leaves fell down from the trees. Yeah, the only day I remember is the day you forgot about me."

This is some bad week. Going from day to day knowing the person you're with is, to steal a phrase, not that into you. A strong vibrate song, with melancholy themes. Who could ask for more?

5.) Back To Me

"The sun fades, I'm too late. A boy in a man's game."

While I think the songwriting in this one is intelligent and catchy, I have to say it's my least favorite on the EP. I like it, but can't find a connection with the story going on. The melody is good, but basically remains at the same level throughout the song. But that's strictly my opinion.

All the hard work that went into making this EP stands out in these five songs. This band has something major to offer the music scene, and it's only a matter of time before some big music guy/gal takes notice. Until then, catch these guys at local spots in the Midwest and East Coast.
