The Bogmen
Band Huntington United States Active 1993–1999
The Bogmen formed in 1993 in Huntington, United States and was active until 1999. The Bogmen has 2 chart appearances on 2 radio countdowns from 2 stations on RockLists, spanning 1996–1998.

The station that charted The Bogmen most often is WFNX (Boston, MA), with 1 appearance. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 1998.
The Bogmen came out of Huntington, Long Island, in 1993, a six-piece put together by Billy Campion, Bill Ryan, Brendan Ryan, Mark Wike, P.J. O'Connor and Clive Tucker. Arista signed them in 1995.
Life Begins at 40 Million arrived that year with "Suddenly", all jittery rhythm and wide-eyed guitar, a band throwing everything at the wall with real conviction. Closed Captioned Radio followed in 1998, and "Failing Systems" from it turned up on the countdowns.
The big breakthrough never quite came, and they split in 1999. But the Bogmen never fully went away: they've reunited several times to raise money for charity, put out a DVD, and still play a few shows a year around New York City and Long Island.
