plainspoken eloquence"

-Nick Cristiano

-Vin Scelsa

WFUV-Idiots Delight

"Railings,is a stunning bit of vindictive."

-Brian Howard

Philadelphia City Paper

-Andrew Aber

The Village Voice

"This is a piece of polished coal-decorative,combus-

tible and possible containing a rough diamond."

DC

Americana UK

"Frog Holler's four discs,the latest is 'Railings'-are the work of a band that loves to fiddle around with its rustic roots.The bands atmospheric songs are spiked with sturdy melodies and marked by lyrics about living life and making music left of the dial."

The Winston Salem Journal

"Pennsylvania's Frog Holler is getting down:on its fourth album 'Railings'(Record Cellar),the six-piece plays an arsenal of instruments very sparingly,creating a backdrop of mystert and tension for Darren Schlappich's straightforward prayerful songs."

-Monica Kendrick

The Chicago Reader

"an album of beauty...'Railings' is great the way it is,and Schlappich has every reason to be proud of this moving,heartfelt addition to Frog Holler's catalog."

-Alex Henderson

All Music Guide

"Frog Holler has already released a veritable pantheon

of great albums;'Railings'is the best of the bunch."

-Jim Speese

The Reading Eagle

"The album,overall,is probably one of the best to come out in 2003 and would do well alongside other stellar alt.country bands on the rise.A must!"

-Jason MacNeil

Popmatters.com

"The recording is dominated by thoughtful,country-

tinged meditations on love gone sour and outsider

status,with a little social commentary thrown in for good measure.The quality of the songcraft and soulful instrumental backing could put Frog Holler in the front ranks of the alt-country scene on a national level..."

-John Terlesky

Allentown Morning Call

"...their mid-tempo country rock and ballads,

well-written,well-played and with a fine,rich vocal,

mark them as special."

-Mojo Magazine

The Band as well as any outfit around these days,

courtesy of their sound-rustic and soulful and

borderline gospel-ish at times-and their communal

spirit."

- Rick Cornell

Amplifier Magazine

"Here,a songwriter on the cutting edge of clever country

fully illustrates why many are tipping him and his tasty band for big things.This is Frog Holler's fourth CD ,and

you'll have to search far and wide to find songs expressed with more sensitivity or frustration."
