  Frogstomp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frogstomp is the first album from the Australian musical group, Silverchair.
On June 20, 1995, Frogstomp was released by Epic Records in the U.S. and went platinum by November.
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.

On "Frogstomp," their debut album, the trio creates raw, uplifting fuzz and feedback mantra that play off a chugging assault of guitars and the ragged vocals of singer Daniel Johns.
And the tired cliche about having your entire life to write your first album hardly applies here - the three 15-year-old Newcastle natives haven't had a life yet, and anyway, most of these songs have been whipped up in the time between "Tomorrow" going on high rotation on Triple J and last Christmas.
As phenomenal a debut album as it is, Frogstomp is still recognisable as a debut.

It is important to put Frogstomp in this wider context because only then can its strengths and weaknesses be properly gauged.
With this in mind the lyrics on all the songs, vehement and thoughtful enough already, come across as even more so.
The only drawback is that the melodies don’t match the honesty and power of the words.

 Interview: Chris Joannou of Silverchair, February 1997
With the success of Frogstomp (over three million copies sold, world-wide), Silverchair approached the dreaded sophomore album differently than most bands: they didn't worry about it.
Part of the success of Frogstomp was due to the "radio-friendly" singles which allowed a broader audience to become accustomed to Silverchair, and to become aware of their existence.
The decision to incorporate sitar and strings adds an element that wasn't apparent on Frogstomp, and is yet another example of the band diversifying and maturing.

For their very first album, recorded when all three members were only 15 years old, "Frogstomp" rocks as much as you would expect it to.
All three obviously were very experienced in playing their instruments, and their overall musicianship shines beautifully, but this album falls short in a few ways for me. For a start, the lyrics just aren't very good...

[Editor's Note: When this story was written, frogstomp had entered Entertainment Weekly's top-10 album chart at No. 9, up from No. 12 after 11 weeks of sales.]

I personally think this album is pretty bad.
It absolutely amazes me that these guys were 16 when they recorded this and only 14 and 15 when most of it was written.
Silverchair's quality has fluctuated a little since this album, but Frogstomp is an all time great in my book.

However when one considers that the songs on the album were written by a couple of 13-year-olds (lead singer Daniel Johns and drummer Ben Gillies), and that some of them were hurriedly composed to fill out the record, it is even more impressive.
So the album is not the kind of fluff you’d expect from a group of young teenagers (such as

It is not enough for the lyrics to be pained - the music has to be as well if they are to be truly effective.
Despite this, Frogstomp (1995) is a great debut which laid solid foundations for the follow-up (Freak Show, 1997) as well as revealing a new band of immense talent.
