The Boggs is an independent rock band from New York City that formed in 2001 and quickly became a part of the then burgeoning "New New York" scene that included groups like The Rapture, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Calla, Interpol, and The Walkmen. Their debut album ''We Are The Boggs We Are'' (Arena Rock Recording Co.) was a re-telling of Harry Smith’s Anthology of American Folk Music that the band mockingly dubbed ‘Archival no-wave’. The Boggs also contributed a compilation track for ''This Is Next Year: A Brooklyn-Based Compilation'' in 2001 (Arena Rock Recording Co.).〔Mitchum, Rob (May 9, 2002). (The Boggs: We Are The Boggs We Are ) Retrieved March 14, 2014.〕 The follow-up, ''Stitches'', recast the band’s sound as a type of acoustic post-punk. Some reviews compared the record to a more artsy Pogues or more country-blues based Echo & the Bunnymen.〔Gill, Andy (October 24, 2003). (Album: The Boggs. Stitches, City Rockers ) Retrieved March 14, 2014.〕 Their third album "Forts", once again recast the sound of the band which has now been compared to Talking Heads, Adam And The Ants, and Arcade Fire. The band's official biography found on their Myspace page describes it as, "proto post folk garage punk folk punk blues and disco."〔Berman, Stuart (July 27, 2007). (The Boggs: Forts ) Retrieved March 14, 2014.〕 ==Current members== The Boggs have a constantly rotating live line up that sometimes includes members of other established independent rock bands.
