The group was formed as Bulldogg, but this name was already used by another group so they changed to Bullfrog just before the recording of their first LP. A rock’n’roll band in disguise, they did have prog flourishes here and there, underscored by the heavy Hammond organ textures typical of the era and augmented by chunky guitar riffs. The vocalist sounded a lot like Lemmy of Motorhead!
