{     The Boggs "Forts"     }    

This year has brought about quite a few budding bands to the scene. JET and the Fratellis, both respectively decent rock bands were quickly made main stream by their often upbeat singles. Recently I had the pleasure of catching up with the Boggs.

A band of New York City natives, the Boggs are poised on the edge to become the next big thing. While this may piss off a lot of people who like to keep their bands pure and uninfluenced by the mainstream media, it’s going to happen so enjoy what you have while you have it. (I have recently been informed one of their song remixes, "Arm in Arm" is featured in the new game trailer for Grand Theft Auto IV)

Their sophomore release, “Forts” (released May 8, 2007), is one of the few albums that I have had on continuous play these past few months. Loaded with a gritty taste that comes with the New York City experience, “Forts” makes for a solid album that is a definite buy.

When you think that only six years ago this band was playing on street corners and subway platforms in Brooklyn, it boggles the mind. Be sure to look them up: The Boggs. The album, “Forts.” Go now.
