The Joggers are exactly the kind of thing I needed last week. Their latest record "With A Cape And A Cane" (out now on Startime Intl.) was exaclty the sort of melodic skronky post-punk (ala Q And Not U) I needed to shake the cobwebs from my brain and get me back into the groove. Now despite (on first listen) not impressing me terribly, this is a truly fantastic album. It doesn't (however) come easy. Its a sonic mish-mash of post-punk/new-wave that is brimming with funky bass, dissonant guitars, and thunderous drums. Imagine if Tim Kinsella (Joan Of Arc) and Damon Albarn (Blur) tried to write funk music together. Get the picture?

I really dig this whole album, I hope people listen to these songs. Great post.
Does my vote count for nothing? I want to preview, darnit!
Yes Jacob your vote counts. It's just faster to not upload them to the flash player. If there is enough demand (so far only you) I'll put back up the flash player.
Oh, harumph.
