Founded in 2006, we are a small culture & arts publication established in idyllic downtown Denville, NJ. On the Can! was originally conceived to be a symposium for local canned-goods enthusiasts to congregate and share their love of tin-can decals. Although the scope has since evolved to encompass all forms of media, the core philosophies are still upheld by our dedicated staffers. On the Can! continues to delight the masses with its critique on popular culture and hard hitting editorials.
The original print gazette was discontinued in 2014; it has been revived in its current digital format in 2023.

Junior Correspondent

He is a founding member of the award winning comedy troupe, The Butter Boys, of which the Bergen Record once stated is “kind of like Monty Python”. He is also the co-host of the locally revered podcast, Ryan and Adam’s Show. Ryan can frequently be found volunteering at the pediatric wing of Saint Claire’s Hospital, where he captivates the hearts of children and hospital staff alike, with his Richard Gere impersonations.
Adam <redacted>
Chief Technology Officer
Adam <redacted>, a driven and obsessive freelance videographer and soundscaper, arrived to the publication at a dire time of need. A part-time magician, he disappeared the anxieties of the hour through his sacred knowledge gained from the hidden grottos of Denville’s Tourne County Park. He is the co-host of our kissing-cousins podcast, Ryan and Adam’s Show. Adam can also be found antiquing in flea markets or researching the owners of old furniture that local museums might accept into their displays.
