Frog at DIY Mag
‘Kind of Blah’ isn’t a title that does the debut full-length by duo Frog any justice. How could any album recorded in a disused bowling alley – situated under a cafe, mind you – be “kind of blah”? Lead single ‘Judy Garland’ isn’t doing any favours for mediocrity either. With a heehaw Cowboy croon and… Continue reading Frog at DIY Mag
Frog at The Evening’s Empire
The debut full length record Kind of Blah from New York duo Frog is one of my favorite of 2015 so far (read my full review of it for London in Stereo). It was a brilliantly rough-around-the-edges exercise in catharsis and nostalgia. This is characterised perfectly in the stunning and sentimental song and video for… Continue reading Frog at The Evening’s Empire

This year the duo came out of nowhere with their debut LP ‘Kind of Blah.’ a collection of electric and eclectic songs… Continue reading Frog at The Deli

New York City has always been the epicentre of cool for music. Every band dreams of playing there and anyone who has been to the Big Apple will tell you that you can’t help but be drawn into the sheer energy and excitement of the place. However, as Scott Pilgrim taught us all so well,… Continue reading Frog at Paper Blog

Frog at This is Book’s Music
Kind Of Blah (Audio Anti-Hero) is the kind of pop music that music fans would want to immerse themselves into on a regular basis, for it is a wonderful and balanced blend of pop and rock, with enough eclectic qualities that show they are not afraid to share a sense of humor because they may… Continue reading Frog at This is Book’s Music
Frog at Grey Matter
Friends, meet Frog. Frog is made of Queens pals Dan Bateman (Guitar and Vocals) and Thomas White (Drums) and apparently the UK loves them! They released their single Judy Garland some months ago and their actual LP Kind of Blah on May 25th. I think you’ll like what you hear. They start their LP frantic and… Continue reading Frog at Grey Matter
Frog at Revue
Dan Bateman, lead singer and guitarist of Frog, writes that their new album, Kind of Blah, is “an attempt to engage modern musical ideas from a 1950s style of arrangement, and a was a complete failure in that respect but a success in most others.” The album drops May 25th on London indie label Audio Antihero.… Continue reading Frog at Revue

As Dan Bateman writes on the LP sleeve, the album “was an attempt to engage modern musical ideas from a 1950s style of… Continue reading Frog at If It Be Your Will
