        Silverchair were an Australian rock band, which formed in 1992 as Innocent Criminals in Newcastle, New South Wales, with Ben Gillies on drums, Daniel Johns on vocals and guitars, and Chris Joannou on bass guitar. The group got their big break in mid-1994 when they won a national demo competition conducted by SBS TV show Nomad and ABC radio station Triple J. The band was signed by Murmur and were successful in Australia and internationally. Silverchair have sold over 10 million albums worldwide.

      Silverchair have won more ARIA Music Awards than any other artist in history, earning 21 wins from 49 nominations. They also received six APRA Awards, with Johns winning three songwriting awards in 2008. All five of their studio albums debuted at number one on the ARIA Albums Chart: Frogstomp(1995), Freak Show(1997), Neon Ballroom(1999), Diorama(2002), and Young Modern(2007). Three singles reached the number-one slot on the related ARIA Singles Chart: "Tomorrow" (1994), "Freak" (1997), and "Straight Lines" (2007).

    Silverchair's alternative rock sound evolved throughout their career, with differing styles on specific albums growing more ambitious over the years, from grunge on their debut to more recent work displaying orchestral and art rock influences. The songwriting and singing of Johns had evolved steadily while the band had developed an increased element of complexity.

       In 2003, following the release of Diorama, the band announced a hiatus, during which time members recorded with side projects the Dissociatives, the Mess Hall, and Tambalane. Silverchair reunited at the 2005 Wave Aid concerts. In 2007, they released their fifth album, Young Modern, and played the Across the Great Divide tour with contemporaries Powderfinger. In May 2011, Silverchair announced an indefinite hiatus.

    Frogstomp is the debut studio album by Australian alternative rock band Silverchair. It was released on 27 March 1995, when the band members were only 15 years of age, by record label Murmur. The album features the band's commercially most successful single, "Tomorrow".

It's twelve o'clock and it's a wonderful day

I know you hate me but I'll ask anyway

Won't you come with me to a place in a little town

The only way to get there's to go straight down

There's no bathroom and there is no sink

The water out of the tap is very hard to drink

Very hard to drink

You wait til tomorrow

You wait til tomorrow

 

You say that money isn't everything

But I'd like to see you live without it,

You think you can keep on going living like a king,

Oohh babe, but I strongly doubt it,

 

Very hard to drink,

Very hard to drink,

You gonna wait too, fat boy,

Fat boy, wait til tomorrow,

You gonna wait too, fat boy,

Fat boy, wait til tomorrow,

 

You, wait til tomorrow,

You, wait til tomorrow,

You gonna wait too, fat boy,

Fat boy, wait til tomorrow,

You gonna wait too, fat boy,

Fat boy, wait til tomorrow.
