REVIEWS/PRAISE FOR "PREDATORS AND POKERFACES"
"This is an amazing fucking album!!!!!!! This guy is fucking sick!!!! I don't care who you are, download this fucking album!"
- Dave Matheke (Love Torture Records/Endometrium Cuntplow)
"There aren't very many bands out there who successfully integrate genres, and mix them into a successful and smooth progression. and then there were Frogz is the exception. I cannot recall such a successful Do it yourself project, who has been able to sound so professional. The Album "Predators And Pokerfaces" is a very intense album. The highly successful multi-genre blend, and the advanced metaphoric storytelling in this cd could quickly become the greatest album ever produced in the NET label do it yourself world. I have never been so impressed. The story in this Album is far from simple. I cannot lie and say that I have deciphered everything, because much like a tool album, it will take me at least 20 run throughs, and careful thought to get everything that I can out of this album ,which in my mind is a success all on its own. In our new age of Ipod singles, the world lacks thought provoking music. This Album deserves anyones attention and time. I have to give Cody (the one man band himself) my complete respect for what he has accomplished here. Definitely Five Stars."
- Justin Thomas Squires (Kitty On Fire Records/TWCA/Master Toad)
"Well I've been meaning to write this album recommendation for a long time. To be short and to the point it's shame on society that the man making this did not receive thousands of dollars for this accomplishment. This is an essential for any experimental music fan and very much sets a new standard for music most people would not from 'real bands.' Download this and forget the music business, this is true art."
