The Frogs were an American rock band founded in 1980 by brothers Jimmy and Dennis Flemion in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Known for their eclectic and often controversially humorous lyrics, as well as their lo-fi recording techniques, The Frogs created a unique blend of music that defied easy categorization. They initially gained a cult following through homemade tapes and performing in local venues with unconventional live shows that included costumes and theatrical antics.
The band's irreverent approach to songwriting tackled a wide array of topics, gaining notoriety and drawing attention from more mainstream artists. Their musical style ranged from punk rock to psychedelic pop, with albums such as "It's Only Right and Natural" and "My Daughter the Broad". Over the years, The Frogs released a slew of albums that showcased their evolving yet consistently provocative style, including titles like "Bananimals" and "Squirrel Bunny Jupiter Deluxe". In their later work, they revisited earlier music, releasing updated and special editions of their work, such as "The Frogs (The 2022 Addition)" and "Hopscotch Lollipop Sundae Surprise (Alternate 2022 Edition)". Although the band's active years were punctuated by the untimely death of Dennis Flemion in 2012, their influence on the alternative music scene and legacy of pushing boundaries persists. The Frogs' dedication to the unexpected and the offbeat solidified their position as indie rock icons with a lasting impact.
