Frog (band)

Frog is an American indie rock band. The group was founded by Daniel Bateman and Thomas White in Queens, New York in 2012. In 2019, White left the band and was replaced on drums by Bateman's brother Steve. White has since rejoined the band on bass.

They have released six studio albums through labels like Audio Antihero and their own Tapewormies imprint.

Daniel Bateman and Thomas White began playing together in the folk group Uncles, a collaboration between Bateman and songwriter Will Schwartz. Their self-titled debut album was released in 2013 by Monkfish Records.

UK-based Audio Antihero label released their second album Kind of Blah in 2015. The band also performed for a BRIC Arts Media television broadcast.[citation needed]

Kind of Blah received further coverage from UK publications Clash, Bearded, Artrocker, DIY Mag, and The Digital Fix. Tracks from the album were also aired on the BBC's Radio 1 (Huw Stephens) and 6 Music (Gideon Coe, Steve Lamacq, and Tom Ravenscroft) stations, and the band recorded a session for Dandelion Radio.[non-primary source needed] Their “Judy Garland” single later also placed at #17 in the 2015 Festive Fifty chart. Their “Catchyalater” single was remixed by British artists Benjamin Shaw, Jack Hayter (Hefner), and Broken Shoulder (Fighting Kites).

In January 2016, Frog toured England and Scotland to promote Kind of Blah. On this tour, they played a live session for Resonance FM, and were interviewed for Amazing Radio, in addition to performing in London, Colchester, York, Glasgow, and Edinburgh. One of the tour's lineups included The Drink, and another was reviewed by The Skinny. The tour was also filmed for the 2018 Kings of Blah documentary by Alex Coppola.

After Kind of Blah, Frog reissued their self-titled album through Audio Antihero and contributed a remix of Magana's “Golden Tongue” to the b-side of her “Inches Apart” single.

Frog followed up Kind of Blah in November 2018 with Whatever We Probably Already Had It, receiving airplay from Roddy Hart on BBC Radio Scotland and Robert Rotifer on FM4.
