ABOUT "GROG" (OUT NOV 17):

Frog's first release since 2019's "Count Bateman." Out Nov 17th via Audio Antihero & Tape Wormies. Available now for digital pre-order (heyitsfrog.bandcamp.com/album/grog).

Full of hope, nostalgia, defeat and lust, Frog describe "Grog" as "both gothic and cartoonish." The album is full of the emotional Americana, weird wordplay, 70s pop experimentation, 90s guitar energy and 60s garage rock swagger that earned songs like "Judy Garland" and "You Know I'm Down" several million Spotify streams.

The cult NY duo have toured the UK and US, and received acclaim and airplay from the likes of NPR, BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, BBC Scotland, DIY Mag, TLOBF and Clash Magazine. They were also the subject of the "Kings of Blah" documentary film in 2018 (www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsdG3UUBpnE).

PREVIOUS PRAISE FOR FROG:

"The best American guitar record of the year. Seriously. It's like every cult band from the past decade bottled into half an hour of music." – Gold Flake Paint

“Frog sounds like a dirtbag ’Harmony Hall,’ here for it.” – Ian Cohen (Pitchfork)

“The prodigal Frog returns...” – NPR

“Irreverent, strange and just a little addictive." – Clash Magazine

“Imagine the euphoric pop of Small Wonder getting caught in a time warp to the Wild West with Modest Mouse’s ‘Satin in a Coffin’ and you just about scratch the surface." – DIY Mag

“A wealth of subtle nuances, wry homages, and nostalgic narratives that were enough to make listeners lament growing up anywhere other than suburban America.” – The Line of Best Fit

"A splendid piece of work." – Gideon Coe (BBC 6 Music)

“Oh, god. Help me, words. Help me convey what a blessing Frog is.” – Collapse Board

“Locked between the unstoppable force of self-deprecation and the immovable object of the American Dream.” – Various Small Flames

lyrics

Where are you gonna go when you’re hungry
Where are you gonna go when you need money
Seems that you’re scared that’s fair well I can’t help you there
Just dial 1800 collect on a pay phone
Damn bro I hope that your mom’s home
Wait at the train then your mom comes
Curses then honks I got shotgun
What are you doing here?
The last time, do I make myself clear?
Kids get the ketchup in all the cupholders
You ash in the corpses of all the dead soldiers

Take me home, north on the Anne Hutchinson
Through the Bronx, back to the place where we’re from
Where the girls they put out in a car
And the waitresses all got a scar
New Rochelle New York
Ideally yours
New Rochelle New York
Had to go to court
Where you going?

This shit is different I got my shit kicking
A metro north ticket I just need a second
Bud light tall boys, hiding in the stall boys
Conductors coming just straight down the hall boys

Take me home, north on the Anne Hutchinson
Through the Bronx, back to the place where we’re from
Where the girls they put out in a car
And the pizza guys know where you are
New Rochelle New York
Ideally yours
New Rochelle New York
Had to go to court
