The Joggers
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
