Modest Mouse Drummer Jeremiah Green's achievements

Drummer Jeremiah was a co-founder of Modest Mouse, a US band founded in the early 90s. The band was founded in the early 1990s in Issaquah, Washington, but later relocated to Portland, Oregon. They had modest beginnings, rehearsing in a shed and forming their sound, which was influenced by Pavement, XTC, and the Pixies.

‘This Is a Long Drive for Someone With Nothing to Think About,’ released by Up Records in 1996 was Modest Mouse’s debut album. ‘The Moon & Antarctica’, the indie rock band's third album, landed them on the major label Epic, where they would later break into the mainstream with 2004's ‘Good News for People Who Love Bad News’, which spawned the hits "Float On" and "Ocean Breathes Salty." Green took a brief break at this point, making this the only Modest Mouse album on which he did not perform. By the end of 2004, he had rejoined the band. The band went through major lineup changes throughout all these years, but Green and Brock remained the constants.
