been a while - bleeding busy with work and a house move ... hopefully getting there with the new 'music studio' over the next few weeks :)

here's a little optimistic tune which is nowhere near publishable, but then again, not many of my recording are  :)

hope you like it anyway ...

A tired mind if of a god
Can see the truth no longer
A tired beast don't care how strong
The human beast is stronger
A tired mind if of a god
Created men and allowed them to mutate
A tired mind if of a god
Soon realised it is too late

The human mind so motivated
By curiosity and greed
Capacity for good And evil
No consequence for either deed
Food, shelter, love and children
And their survival guaranteed
They set about wholesale destruction
Of all the laws the lord decreed


And now godlike in every sense
The human mind seems tired too
Created an intelligence 
With no master to answer to
No petty needs, no limits to ability
Evolution we cannot foresee
With wonder we sit back and find
Gods create what ends their kind

"Grog" LP Out Nov 17th: bit.ly/FrogGrogInfoPage

New York duo Frog (brothers Danny & Steve Bateman) return with their fifth album “Grog.” This collection of gorgeous Indie Americana is full of the nostalgia, hope, defeat and lust that earned previous singles “Judy Garland” and “You Know I’m Down” several million streams on Spotify.

Eclectic and wildly creative, this fully realized LP veers from the gorgeous grooving funk of “Black on Black on Black” to the classic pop of “Maybelline” before “New Ro” exemplifies the “gothic and cartoonish” characteristics that songwriter Daniel Bateman describes his latest work with.

“Grog” will be released both CD and digitally on November 17th and launched with a performance at YoFi Fest 11 (Yonkers, NY) which accompanies a screening of their “Kings of Blah” documentary.

Artist Quote:

“There are really exciting places we were able to get to on this record, places that I didn’t know existed before I found them. It feels both gothic and cartoonish to me, big gargoyles, dark skies, storms, but the statues are of ‘Aaahh!!! Real Monsters.’ Every song is a step deeper into the abyss.” - Daniel Bateman (Frog)

Previous Support: NPR / BBC Radio 1 / BBC 6 Music / TLOBF / CLASH / Gold Flake Paint / London In Stereo / DIY Mag / Various Small Flames / IMPOSE / Cereal & Sounds / For the Rabbits

Spotify Stats: 9.5 million streams / 78k monthly listeners (Oct 16th 2023)

Press Quotes:

“I was taken aback by its apparent simplicity; a simplicity that at first masked 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

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

“A subtle, stunning triumph.” – For the Rabbits

“Utterly brilliant...they make you nostalgic for memories you never had and take you back to places you’ve never before been.” - London in Stereo

The Ship

"Scandi-rock perfection". Dots And Dashes

"It's indie rock goodness, draped in beautiful guitars that shimmers and falls around your ears like rain". Sirens of Decay

"Driving energy, effortlessly layered guitars and just the right amount of experimental sound choices mean that that the music they’re making is just incredibly satisfying to listen to. Indie rock as a genre is overflowing with average bands. So why waste your time? Listen to Great Hare instead." Dani Charlton, Amazing Radio

"Great Hare brings a soft voice, a powerful guitar, so hint of old fashioned taste and they managed to mix it all together and create a song that is both powerful and relaxing"
Wolf In A Suit

"...an outstanding monolith of melodramatic dream-pop".
Dots And Dashes

"It's damn near impossible not to like "Rock n Roll Dreams".
Don't Need No Melody

“Only the Birds,” is a soft, and sweet melody, perfect for snuggling with your lover on a rainy day".
Girl Underground Music

"I’ve heard a couple of songs from this band, and although they’re unsigned at the moment, I don’t expect that to be the case for very long." This Is That Song

"The audience is taken on a floating ride of shimmery summer haze as the guitars weave their way across the room..."
Emerging Indie Bands

Swedish indie rock band Great Hare formed around 2010 when four friends got together after a long hiatus from music. Naming the band after nocturnal chance encounters with wild hares, they turned a loft into a recording studio and brought drums, guitars, tape delay machines, keyboards, pink chorus pedals, an old piano and influences from the post-punk era they grew up in. They turn up at nights looking for melodies that want to be turned into songs. The good ones arrive like waves hitting a beach or echoes of something submerged under the surface.
