Biography
Basically, there are two types of fans:
1) Serious fans who demand songs with intrigue and intensity
2)Casual fans who just want music they can dance to
Canto 6 knows exactly which group their music is meant for.
Both.
The band was started with a concept: To build a sound based on our heavy roots yet attract a wide audience. We want the sound to make people move – not just bang their heads.
The Pennsylvania-based band achieves this balance of heavy and accessible by following the lead of groups like Linkin Park, Evanescence, Rob Zombie, and Nine Inch Nails, laying a solid foundation of driving rhythms with melodic hooks sure to bring in fans from all over the musical map. And like a handful of other modern rock outfits, Canto 6 spices things up by adding a dash of electronica to the mix; incorporating electronics or programming into the material and taking steps to reproduce that sound live while remaining a four piece. It gives Canto 6 a modern edge that sets them apart from the pack.
That live show is another huge reason why Canto 6 is poised to impress listeners of Rock, Pop, and everything in between by displaying a unique energy during a live performance, punctuated by a talented front man (Mick Rock).
The band's intriguing sound has been captured perfectly on it's EP Break The Mold, and followed up by it's 2009 full length CD, Pressure, which will be promoted by an extensive tour.
Rounding out the sonic lineup of Canto 6 is Drummer Jack Gerhard, Bassist Matt McHale and Guitarist Ray Cantoral.
