Denali was an American indie rock band from Richmond, Virginia, formed in April 2000 by Cam DiNunzio, Jonathan Fuller, Keeley Davis, and Maura Davis. The group recorded a five-song demo, Demonstration, in January 2001 and signed with Jade Tree Records later that year. Its self-titled debut album, Denali, was released in 2002, followed by its second album, The Instinct, in August 2003. The latter release received positive reviews from various music blogs and webzines upon its distribution in France in 2004. Shortly after the album was published, Fuller and Keeley Davis left the group to focus on their other project, Engine Down. They were replaced by Ryan Rapsys and Stephen Howard respectively, but the band disbanded in 2004. In 2006, the live concert DVD Pinnacle was released. The group reunited for a comeback show on July 5, 2008, at the National Theatre in Richmond, followed by performances in New York in September 2008 and in Philadelphia and Washington in June 2009.
