Three months after the release of the EP, the band began recording their debut album, ''Frogstomp'', during which "Cicada", "Pure Massacre", and "Tomorrow" were re-recorded. The recording sessions for the album began in late December 1994 and ended in mid-January 1995 at Festival Studios in [[Pyrmont, New South Wales]].

In July 2007, when asked about the [[grunge]] sound of ''Frogstomp'' and the band's musical influences, Gillies stated: "We were definitely influenced by the whole [[Seattle]] sound."<ref>{{Cite news|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120403023914/http://seattlest.com/2007/07/18/seattlest_inter_4.php |url=http://seattlest.com/2007/07/18/seattlest_inter_4.php |title=Seattlest Interview: Silverchair Drummer Ben Gillies |work=Seattlest |first1=Clint |last1=Brownlee |publisher=[[Gothamist|Gothamist LLC]] |date=18 July 2007 |archive-date=3 April 2012 |access-date=1 August 2024 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

In May 2015, when asked if the record was made live in the studio, Johns said: <blockquote>Yeah, that's the thing that I do really like about that album – it sounds exactly like we sounded. There was no big American producer calling the shots behind the desk and telling us to do this, this and this. It was literally this guy, [[Kevin Shirley]], who was a great producer, just saying, "I want it to sound like you guys, but I want it to sound really f—ing loud and I want the guitars really f—ing loud." So to me, I was like, f—ing yeah! The songwriting might not be genius, but I think sonically, the performances are really good. It's really honest; it's just three Australian kids thrashing it out in the studio and that's exactly how it sounds.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://diffuser.fm/silverchair-daniel-johns-frogstomp-interview-2015|title=Daniel Johns Reflects on Silverchair's Debut, 'Frogstomp'|website=Diffuser.fm}}</ref></blockquote>

In August 2020, Gillies said the following about the album:<blockquote>We were always searching to keep that spark alive when ''Frogstomp'' came out because it was just so unrefined, it was just so raw. There was something magical about that we continued to try and capture. I think we did pretty well.<ref>{{cite web|last=Gorra|first=Jeff|url=https://artistwaves.com/ben-gillies-reflects-upon-silverchairs-frogstomp-25-years-later-2/|title=Ben Gillies Reflects Upon Silverchair's "Frogstomp" 25 Years Later|website=artistwaves.com|year=2020}}</ref></blockquote>

==Title==
In January 1996, when asked why the album's name is ''Frogstomp'', Johns said: <blockquote>I was at a guy from our record company's house one night and I was looking through his CDs because he's got a really good collection. I found this '60s pop collection record and I was just going (laughs), "Why do you have this?" I looked at the back and there was this song that some guy [<nowiki/>[[Floyd Newman]]] did called Frogstomp and I said, "That's a pretty good name." (laughs) I just rang up [[Ben Gillies|Ben]] and [[Chris Joannou|Chris]] and we just thought it was really funny so we used it for the album.<ref name="chairpage.com"/></blockquote>

==Release==
''Frogstomp'' was first released in Australia by record label Murmur on 27 March 1995. It reached number 1 on the Australian [[ARIA Charts|ARIA Albums Chart]].

[[Stephen Thomas Erlewine]] of [[AllMusic]] wrote:<blockquote>For their age [15 years old], their instrumental capabilities are quite impressive, as the guitars and vocals growl with the force of rockers in their early twenties. At the same time, their songwriting abilities aren't as strong, and they are never able to break away from the standard grunge formula. Nevertheless, the record does deliver a collection of songs replicating the thunder of ‘Tomorrow‘.<ref name="allmusic"/></blockquote>

In July 2020, [[NME]] said about the album:<blockquote>25 years later, ''Frogstomp'' is too vital to be dismissed as meat-and-potatoes hard rock.
