"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)

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

When both of you are lost in the dreamy indolence you've conjured from your intersecting, boring trajectories...

When you trigger each other's self-absorption...

Be sure that you've become each other's chill-catalyst.

Who will surface first?

Lyrics:

Mango slushie in the car
Drink it straight from the box
Driving barefoot
Movie crew on the side of the 
Side of the road

Let’s trade off telling each other how we’ve grown this past year
Blasting AC call it a day
Wave her downstream
She’s naturally independent

Rhododendron on the trail
Why’s the way there always longer
Than the way back
Heard a pair got engaged on the top of the 
Top of the mountain

On the way home headphones in
Performing silence so you’ll want me back
While she’s sleeping we work it out

Please don’t let the tide rush in
Held unburdened by the wind
A roomful of familiar
No catastrophes within

Left the car, left the car door open
Oh well, here’s hoping

Dribble dribble drop drop
Can’t make the rain stop
Wanna form lighting from my heart to my mouth
And out and out and out and out and out

Rumble rumble splat splat
Can’t make the earth flat
Wanna melt closer to the center of the collapse
And know that we’ll come back, come back, come back

Dribble dribble drop drop
Can’t make the rain stop
Wanna form lighting from my heart to my mouth
And out and out and out and out and out

Rumble rumble splat splat
Can’t make the earth flat
Wanna melt closer to the center of the collapse
And know that we’ll come back, come back, come back

VANCRYNES is the musical alter-ego of Angelo Saridis, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer from South Gippsland, Australia. His music spans the genre spectrum with roots in early punk and post punk and a solid grounding in 90s alternative rock, his music fuses these influences with a deliberate intention.  Imagine Paul Dempsey and Tim Rogers had a love child with Black Francis and Kim Gordon as the godparents and Johny Marr as the favourite uncle...somewhere in that mix you will find VANCRYNES

Exploring themes that are predominantly a shared introspective reflection, there is a happy sad dynamic and a nostalgic sensibility to all the songs.  'I'm trying to share what's anxiety provoking for adults...and show that none of us really have our shit together...but at times there's something beautiful about admitting our failings and insecurities'.

VANCRYNES is guitar driven, sweat soaked and authentic which at times will make the listener chuckle and other times give you a reason to reflect.  It's still very much punk rock at heart but delivered with an equal portion of sensitivity and recklessness.

VANCRYNES is committed to capturing the immediacy of the songwriting process and moves quickly to capture songs as the moments of creation are fleeting 'I just want to get a general sense of the song recorded and move on to the next one.  If the songwriting is strong enough, then I hope it will carry through the more casual production approach.  My production is very loose and I will never even contemplate something like autotune'.  

Keeping it fresh and committed to the creative practice of songwriting, VANCRYNES sticks to a blistering regime of writing, producing and releasing with more than 100 songs completed in 2022 and that frenetic pace continues into 2023 and now 2024.  'To quote the famous philosopher Lloyd Christmas...I can't stop once I've started....it stings'
