Man Bites God - Peppermint Superfrog

August 27th, 2007 by Chris Titmus

Big bright coloured cover art springs into your vision and gets you thinking… what the… yeah, OK, I can dig this, you read the booklet and you’re still thinking…

Ok, let’s just cut to the chase: this album is a big Aussie piss-take of just about everything weird and obstructive that exists in this universe.

The vocals are very typical Aussie and throw pounds of sh*tfacing humour at you! But before I go on, I’m asking myself, has this whole punk rock style of music mixed with the bloke down the roads vocal skills been done before? I think, yes.

I’m pretty sure bent-as-hell humour with the vocals is the main base ingredient to this simple music. There are hints of TISM and even Bloodhound Gang.

Track eight Europop 3000 is an exceptionally good lesson if you want to learn to speak French. Hey, there’s even a song about a guy who had a girlfriend made from wood and hay!

I’m now up to track ten and I can’t stop laughing. The lyrics are hilarious, with songs that range from doing weird things to girls, to killing your mum!

You may enjoy listening to this if you like TISM, Cake, The Wiggles, Rod Stewart or any of the songs that have ever been on Play School.

Definitely would be a ripper of a CD to rip out at a party for a laugh.

Unfortunately, no matter how passionate and serious these band members are about music, you just can’t see it through the music and it is hard not to laugh every thirty seconds.
