Well, well, well … three brothers named Blackwell and a single called “Farewell Well Well.” Not a bad introduction to Canto, a teenaged trio taking on gritty blues-rock. Siblings Seamus (vocals/guitar), Aidan (bass) and David (drums) seem to like things in threes – their debut album is titled “Ha Ha Ha,” and it mashes Zep-inspired riffage and punk-rock ferocity into a cathartic stew that seems far beyond their years (and reminiscent of yesteryear). Canto doesn’t have anything yet that you’d label as “new,” but they sure have picked a good place to start.
