The Cold Open

Hailing from the Twin Cities, The Cold Open unites well-crafted songs, formidable musicianship, and gleaming personality on its debut album, Behind the Mattress. Despite this being their first release, The Cold Open has achieved notable success, such as performing at the First Avenue mainroom, being a finalist at the Basilica Block Party Battle of the Bands, and performing at the Mid West Music Festival.

The Cold Open has defined itself as a band that combines solid songwriting with precise and forceful musicianship. The songs on Behind the Mattress have been road-tested and exemplify The Cold Open’s penchant for smart lyrics, engaging composition, and intoxicating energy. Working with recording engineers Andy Lindberg and Tom Garneau, The Cold Open have produced an album that is immediately appealing yet warrants repeated listening. If you like some substance in your pop music or just enjoy a good song, The Cold Open fits the bill. The Cold Open is: Luke DeKarske (guitar/vocals); Aron Rice (guitar/vocals); Dan Goerger (bass); and Mark Johnson (drums).
