                      From Colorado Springs, The Yes We Cans showed that they can play with the best of them. Refined with kicks and hooks aplenty, the future looks bright for this trio. Though the free three song CD-R they gave out pre-show doesn't have all the studio shine of an official release, the sound of a band beginning to find their identity and make something coherent makes it that much more endearing. "Vampire Girl", the first track, shows that The Yes We Cans know how to construct a catchy chorus. It also shows that maturity because they know that with some restraint and use of anticipation, the chorus can be that much more gratifying and surprising when it does finally kick in. The guitar harmony is done with precision and could likely be stuck in your head all day. It's not full of synths or special effects, but the simplicity of what The Yes We Cans created here is refreshing in a musical landscape full of a "more is better" mentality. Look for more material from The Yes We Cans in 2011, and if what they have already is any indication, headlining soon in a city near you.
