THE FROGS

JULY 15, 2026 (New York, NY) -- “What do you do when one day your brother is here one day and the next day, he’s not?” asks Jimmy Flemion of infamously legendary Milwaukee-based sibling duo THE FROGS (the other half of the band, Dennis Flemion died in 2012). “You honor him and yourself by always holding yourself to the high standards that he wanted for us and you give thanks for the blessings that have happened in our careers.” With this in mind and alongside label Foreign Leisure Records, Jimmy will be reissuing The Frogs’ 1996 landmark album My Daughter The Broad on September 11, 2026 as a double LP with a whopping eight bonus tracks of Frogs mania.

Originally released by Matador Records in 1996, My Daughter The Broad is returning to vinyl after nearly 30 years. The Frogs lit up the underground with their fearless sense of absurdism. One one hand, they composed pop-centric masterpieces inspired by glam and classic British pop. On the other, they maniacally created what they called “Made-Up Songs” -  fully improvised bits of largely acoustic pop jingles that were, more often than not, accompanied by lyrics that would make your mother blush.

Gathering some of the goofiest, most sublime songs ever recorded, My Daughter The Broad (named as a nod to Mudhoney who had recently released My Brother The Cow) contains such poignant classics as the heart-wrenching “Which One Of You Gave My Daughter The Dope?” to the equally thought-provoking “Who’s Sucking On Grandpa’s Balls Since Grandma Ain’t Home Tonight?,” “Where’s Jerry Lewis?,” and “I’m Sad The Goat Just Died Today.” These songs are not for the faint of heart or easily offended, but who wants to be friends with those people anyway?

In its reissued form, Foreign Leisure will be releasing My Daughter The Broad as a double LP for the first time ever. Pressed on random-colored vinyl (you won’t know what color it is until you open it up), it is available for preorder (along with some new Frogs merch) at thefrogs1.bandcamp.com.

Beloved by Kurt Cobain, taken on tour by Pearl Jam, produced by Billy Corgan, sampled by Beck, among others, The Frogs formed in Milwaukee in 1980 by the Flemion brothers, Dennis (drums/vocals) and Jimmy (guitar/vocals) and built their underground acclaim through improvised home recordings and indie-adored live shows. In early 1988, they released their self-titled debut, which was followed with their classic It's Only Right And Natural (1989). A  host of equally pearl-clutchable EPs and albums, including the Starjob EP in 1997 which was produced by Billy Corgan, soon added to their oeuvre.

The Frogs continued making music until the tragic death of Dennis in 2012, and Jimmy has kept the flame alive with archival releases and the occasional tour. But aside from a 2019 vinyl reissue of It’s Only Right and Natural, the Frogs’ catalog has been largely unavailable in any physical format—and demand is high (original vinyl copies of My Daughter the Broad routinely sell for $150).

“Music has always been my saving grace,” concludes Jimmy.  “It’s given me a purpose and a deep feeling of why I believe I’m here. The Frogs were always Dennis and me. It will never be the same again. No matter what, I will always continue to make music because it is in my soul and always will be.”

A feature-length documentary on the band has been in the works for nearly a decade, and will see the light of day soon.

My Daughter The Broad will be released on September 11, 2026 via Foreign Leisure Records and can be preordered at thefrogs1.bandcamp.com.
