(MENAFN- market Press Release) May 22, 2024 9:59 am - Denver post-punk band releases debut EP includes a cover of a cult classic, and sells out local shows.
With only two members they still have a sonic output equivalent to four or more people. Can Opener is a high wire act playing live and also on their tracks. Their heavy rock is tapping into latent demand and proving that hard, post, and punk music can ignite hearts and minds in a chaotic world. They evidence a willingness to revisit proven sounds while adding new conventions. For example the EP includes a cover version of Motorhead's Ace of Spades. Whatever the style, it's heavy.
Can Opener was formed in 2021 by Joe Nelson and Jason Wolf, two long-time Denver locals. Influenced by bands such as Death From Above 1979, Queens of the Stone Age, and Royal Blood, they have evolved into Denver's best (as far as anyone knows, allegedly, some have said) two-piece band. Joe Nelson stars on vocals and drums, with years of experience writing and playing music around Denver. Jason also pulls double-duty holding down the bass line and guitar riffs that contribute to the wall of sound that is Can Opener.
