“Forts” Out Now on Gigantic Records
“Arm in Arm" (Shy Child Remix) Single Featured in the latest Rockstar Games trailer for Grand Theft Auto IV titled
"Looking for that Special Someone" http://www.rockstargames.com/IV/trailer_splash.html
PITCHFORK MEDIA [7.1] : “Forts is a combustible concoction of hand-claps, knee-slaps, Bo Diddley
beats, shuffling feet, clinking cowbells, and chain-gang chants that suggests a band perpetually
on the verge of breaking down but having too good a time to notice the smoke seeping out from
under the hood.”
TIME OUT NEW YORK..."a brooding postpunk outfit in the raucous mode of the Birthday Party or The
Mekons”, “..has matured eight decades within the course of five years."
[NOW HEAR THIS!] BILLBOARD - ’Forts’, "a batch of post-punk rock tunes with narrative lyrics, a
flurry of raw noises and what sounds like a runaway marching band."

Fresh off the July Tour with Built to Spill & and a June solo tour, The Boggs are staying East for the Month of August! Come out to one of their several NYC shows and celebrate the release of Forts, out on Gigantic Music now. The Boggs are featured in the newest trailer for the gaming event of Fall 2007, Grand Theft Auto IV.
“The new trailer is scored with "Arm In Arm (Shy Child Remix) by New York City-based band The Boggs. The idea was to show a real street-level view of Rockstar's version of the city with a band that belongs there,” Yahoo.com reports. You can listen to a different remix of the song on their Virb profile: http://www.virb.com/theboggs
The Boggs recently recruited the talents of Peter Hale and Leif Huckman, formerly of Trick and the Heartstrings, along with Ellie Everdell and Alex Luther. Look out for a Fall Tour!
