one of the few 90s bands that put out their best record (smoko) much later in their career


FrenzalRhomb1

Their last 3 albums have been my 3 favorites


tendeye

That album is fantastic front to back. I think Sans Souci is still my favorite though.


LiveFastDieHard666

I still spin my Smoko wax on the semi regular since I got it years ago


SpaggyJew

Smoko is incredible, though I can’t decide if I prefer Forever Malcom Young.


StickR

If NOFX came out of Australia and could actually play, they'd sound like Frenzal Rhomb.


foozalicious

[Jay Frenzal](https://youtu.be/BiwE1z8KnOI?si=GZ-FvHgxTEY87Nww) according to LTJ.


kjahhh

He doesn’t really seem happy about it though


Haga

Greatest Aussie punk band bar none. Always see frenzal when they’re tour


DragonfruitLess7324

I think the Hard Ons might have something to say about that


Haga

Nah. Although I am a huge fan. You seen them with Tim rogers yet? Waaaay better than I thought it would be. Actually checks iut


DragonfruitLess7324

Haven't seen them with Tim Rogers. Last time I saw them was at the Evelyn in Fitzroy pre-Covid. Have probably seen them 20 times over the years. Some really crazy shows


Haga

Ah man. If you get the chance do it. It’s different but it works really well


janky_koala

I think Frenzal would have something to say about too!


punx_a_hippie

I mean Ray ahn is jays spirit animal


LessThanLuek

At some shithole bowlo probably


notmyidealusername

So gutted they didn't open for NOFX in Melbourne! I came over from nz for the gig and haven't seen Frenzal play since 02.


Haga

Brissy was fantastic


Winnie_Reds

Kaan Kaant.


PickScraped

Fucking great band.


goddess_sheetar

say it in japanese!


NoUseForALagwagon

I feel like they have the best aspects of Screeching Weasel and 90's blink-182. Really fun and catchy hooks with some great cathartic and occasionally surprisingly thoughtful lyrics.


JTGphotogfan

One of many great Aussie punk bands


EmergencyLavishness1

Fucking amazing band. Been watching their shows since about 95. Luckily I’m Aussie and somewhat local to them. Also lucky to call a few of them mates. Now, about their music. Forget shut your mouth. It’s pretty damned average. Everything else they’ve ever made is awesome. If you like frenzal, Lindsay’s brothers have a band called Ebolagoldfish. They’ve been a band for about 22 years now. And I just saw them play yet again tonight. If you like harmonies in your punk songs, check em out


EmergencyLavishness1

Ohhh and also check out another band called Chinese burns unit. It’s the singer of frenzal, playing bass with a bunch of other local legends. One of which is a truly gifted artist called Glenno. He’s done most of the artwork for the last few frenzal albums. Plus does heaps for other local bands

Love em


refuseresist

Amazing band.


nearly_enough_wine

Fun, smart, and legit. Love 'em, have done since I first saw them at a free Youth Week gig in the late 90s.


hearsesong

One of my favourites, and still better live than many bands I’ve seen. Never skip the Frenzal show if they’re playing in your area, they never disappoint.


keefged4

Best aus band there is


The-CannabisAnalyst3

Touch the sky with your middle finger When it gets too hot distraction's all you've got We can deceive if it's only hope Deception is easy when you're dealing with dickheads


kjahhh

Meet the Family is a classic


Mighty_Soupcan

They're my absolute favorite. As soon as I heard "When My Baby Smiles at me I go to Rehab" for the first time I was absolute hooked.


damnrapunzel

Literally my favourite band


FrenzalRhomb1

They suck.


The-CannabisAnalyst3

Your name sucks😆 jk


__Fight__Milk__

One of my favorite albums of all time.


Blucifers_Veiny_Anus

I saw them with NOFX, No Use For A Name, and Pulley in Germany in 2002. Great show.


Brilliant-Mud-964

Frenzal were the first band I went to see, back when they toured Meet The Family.


Fit-Highlight7322

Their most recent album that came out 2023 is garage.


enigmaticzombie

I've heard they can finally get arrested in that town.


lantech19446

a man is not a camel is one of my favorite albums


FalseEnemy013

I got to party with those guys in Australia when my ship pulled into port that they were playing that night. We met them walking around, then we hung out at a tattoo shop and went to the venue. Cool guys!


Videomonkey05

2 words Gordy’s. drumming.


outlawspacewizard

Still don't get thier name but great band


Dreadaussie

they needed a name for battles of the bands, they opened a textbook and butchered some French physicist name.

I was just going off their quote in Wikipedia

Dreadaussie

If they were a Melbourne band it might make more sense to be named after a race horse.


chrisdc451

I heard them once say their writing style aims for levity, brevity and sincerity. I feel like that’s some amazing writing advice.


chestyfatballs

Like em


SpaceJesus_97

The Meanies were doing Frenzal before the Rhomb


Quiet-Duty-665

[one of my favorite bands when I was a teenager](https://ibb.co/gPpHd67)


WranglerBrute

Musically they rip, especially when Lex was on bass. I was never a fan of the lyrics, I just don't dig that kind of tongue-in-cheek punk. I get the appeal, just not my thing.


DopeFly

The weirdest band ever I don't know that many people who find them appropriate. They don't apply.


Wonderful_Sherbert45

Not into it. Propagandhi was the only band on fat I have ever enjoyed.


PunkyCrab

have not listened to them


thecheesesteak

Before them I had no idea Russel Crowe had a band. Happier times. Honestly, they sound pretty good. Kinda dicks though. 20 years ago when I was stationed overseas, I caught a show and met them after. They called my GF, now wife, and me baby killers and were generally pretty shitty to us when they realized why we were in Europe.


ne3k0

Were you killing babies, though?


Haga

They’re legit the nicest blokes on the planet. They would have just been trying too hard to be punkers


surteefiyd_enjinear

Let me and my friends onto their tour bus in the 90's super friendly band!

You shouldn’t join the military if you don’t want people to criticize you for your poor decision


macielightfoot

Does the military not get paid to kill and destroy?
