"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

Lyrics:
"You were born with thicker skin 
And I am only oxygen 
Whispering, darling please don’t stay 
Because you can leave but I won’t wait 

When I’m cold 
And I’m lonely 
Hold me in your arms 
We’ll grow old 
We will only 
Be inches apart 

I have built my cell by hand 
I was dreaming of the southern sand 
And while every night you visit me 
Darling you are friends with misery 

When I’m cold 
And I’m lonely 
Hold me in your arms 
We’ll grow old 
We will only 
Be inches apart 

When I’m cold 
And I’m lonely 
Hold me in your arms 
We’ll grow old 
We will only 
Be inches apart 

Oceans won’t take you 
Oceans won’t take you 
Oceans won’t take you 
Oceans won’t take you"

Lyrics:
"When I graduated college 
I moved into the east village 
I got a job at a cool office 
I got Billy Joel’s Greatest Hits 
Huh-huh-huh (x2) 
I found a couple bars to lay my head 
And I drove to Queens and I bought a bed 
I made a whole bunch of New York friends 
And I wore all black cause everyone else did 
Huh-huh-huh (x2) 
And now I’m a New Yorker 
At an art gallery downtown 
I’m a New Yorker 
Get the hell outta my way now 
Yankees, Rangers, and Knicks 
Theater, Pizza, Velvet Underground 
I’m a New Yorker 
Get the hell outta my way now and go die 
Now I’m used to living hand to mouth 
I go to Rockaway when it’s really hot out 
I hate Williamsburg North, East and South 
I know all the lunch spots in Midtown 
Huh-huh-huh (x2) 
I work so hard that my hair’s been gettin’ thin 
I ain’t got no time to hit the gym 
I picked up a little bit of Spanish 
I’m a pretty smart guy, not for nothing 
Huh-huh-huh (x2) 
And now I’m a New Yorker 
At an art gallery downtown 
I’m a New Yorker 
Get the hell outta my way now 
Yankees, Rangers, and Knicks 
Theater, Pizza, Velvet Underground 
I’m a New Yorker 
Get the hell outta my way now and go die 
Go die (x4)"

Lyrics:
I went to the beach 
With Alix and Charlie 
We went swimming and talked about the party 
You’re in Norway and I’m in my body 
I use my phone to tell ya that I’m sorry 
It’s just my job makes me feel so stupid 
I wanna swap somebody else into it 
Spread the sunscreen on and turn the stereo up 
Drinkin’ warm Tecate from a blue Solo cup 
Read a book and take a look around 

Pretty young girls, oceans of sound (x2) 
It’s so annoying when you’re not around 
Pretty young girls, oceans of sound 
It’s so annoying when you’re not around 
Pretty young girls, oceans of sound 
It’s so annoying when you’re not around

Wildfire Lyrics:
“Every flame wants to be a wildfire
every day needs to lead to something says my mind
looking back to when it all was better
hard to see photos of my smiles
i know if i want to live
something’s got to give

every night goes on as I’m mindless in it
every light’s racing towards the ends of everything
hard to hold photos of the one’s who left us
every orgasm makes you wonder oh, “is this it?”
this is it.”
