The Joggers
Hailing from Portland, the Joggers sashay like their New York City indie rock counterparts. Darrell Bourque (vocals/bass), Murphy Kasiewicz (vocals/guitar), Jake Morris (drums), and Ben Whitesides (guitar/vocals) came together in 2001 after playing in various local bands. The quirky-pop foursome derived a heavy, rollicking sound. Their song "The Devil Wears Earplugs" marked the Joggers' official debut on the Startime Supercuts compilation in early 2003. Several months later, the band issued Solid Guild. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide[more]

The Joggers' latest oddball masterpiece, With a Cape and a Cane, is noticeably free of Pro-Tools effects and mix-down wizardry, and this rawness is exactly how the Joggers like it. Raw with incredible chops, With a Cane and a Cape hits you with a guitar-god-like riffs mixed with slacker-punk attitude, and oddly, incredible precision. It also has a big heart, as evidenced on songs like "Night of the Horsepills," which eloquently speaks of an old flame reignited.[ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. Ben Whitesides sings like his balls are caught in a wood chipper. This is a good thing. The Joggers are the latest addition to the StarTime family. In many ways they are the most musically accomplished songwriters and players on the roster. In other ways they're a rag tag bunch of beer guzzling drunks bent on destruction. It's quite a combo and we're fucking excited.
