Frogstomp
From Free net encyclopedia
Frogstomp is the first album from the Australian musical group, Silverchair. It was first released in Australia in early 1995, while the members where only 15 years of age, by a subsidiary of Sony Records and hit number one on the album charts. On June 20, 1995, Frogstomp was released by Epic Records in the U.S. and went platinum by November.
The record stands as a testament to Silverchair's initial post-grunge musical style, and the vast, striking difference between the rock music of Frogstomp and the orchestral fusion experimentalism of later works such as 2002's Diorama divides fanbases exponentially. However Frogstomp, both as a lone work and in the context of Silverchair's career, remains to be one of Australia's most nationally successful albums, and arguably the most popular grunge album from an Australian group.
Due to the album's status as a monument to their grunge-oriented teenage years, the band choose to mostly ignore this album during their new live set lists in favor of the more original and stylistically diverse music Daniel Johns has written later in his career.
