R.I.P Frogball


After being a band for I don't know how long, Frogball has called it quits. Awesome band full of awesome dudes who make awesome music. While I wish they were bigger so more people could listen to their music, they were happy with what they had. Having the pleasure of being good friends with these guys, Frogball was an anthem and an outlet to what a giant group of kids are all about. Never taking anything seriously, FB made fun music and had fun doing so. Partying and hanging out mixed with a mocking view of life and society, FB made a joke out of everything. Something the world lacks, a sense of humor with a side of angst.

Their shows were always fun, packed and wild. There were always kids there ready to yell about not having enough money for nachos or how lifting weights is stupid. I remember a show getting shut down and an a capella Frogball set was yelled by everyone into the faces of stupid small town cops. With a DIY ethic, Frogball had tons of merch and charged the lowest prices they could. Going on multiple tours of the U.S, Frogball experienced things everyone dreams of doing while making friends all over and spreading their slacker anthems.

This band made so many people come together and allowed me to meet so many of my current friends. I'd like to thank this band for being great guys and giving us something to do at shows or at our parent's empty homes. So ends Frogball, rest in peace.

This is basically their discography but newer songs do exist. No bad songs, no serious songs just fun songs. I have never seen a band take themselves less seriously than Frogball and their music is the perfect embodiment of that spirit. This collection of songs is the culmination of a couple demos and splits and also has the hilarious live recordings they did for WERS radio. Perfectly paced punk rock with rockin' solos, classic bass lines and unforgettable choruses. Such scorching topics as nachos, America, not working, sitting around and the weekend are what most of these songs are about and what the band itself cares about, well besides the amazing film, Dirty Work and beer. So listen to this cd and fall in love. Buy some merch and some records(this cd is only $6.50). Listen to Frogball, the complete opposite of all the stuff you hate about modern music.
