Mister Goblin – Frog Poems
We know, we know. It really is a great band name, is it not?
Not a soul can pass up a new album by a band named Mister Goblin, so we hit play and decided to share with you!
Their album Frog Poems is out Friday April 26th via Spartan Records and you can take a listen to the song, “Run, Hide, Fight” below. You’ll like it if you like Third-Eye-Blind-style, late 90’s rock simplicity, with a unique lyrical adventure woven into it.
Buy their tunes directly from Bandcamp
