History
1992–1995: Formation to Coughing Up a Storm
Frenzal Rhomb formed in 1992 in the Sydney suburb of Newtown with Alexis 'Lex' Feltham on bass guitar and Jason Whalley on vocals. Feltham and Whalley had been school mates at St Ives High School in St Ives. Whalley had commenced a Bachelor of Arts course in philosophy at Sydney University when he formed Frenzal Rhomb as a punk rock band. The name is a reference to a band member's pet rat, which in turn was named for the Fresnel rhomb, which is a prism-like device invented by the 19th Century French engineer, Augustin-Jean Fresnel. By 1993, the group's line-up was Feltham, Whalley, Ben Costello on guitar and Karl Perske on drums. They played at the Sydney venue for the Big Day Out in January.

Cruelty To Animals
by: Frenzal RhombPlug me in
Don't count me in
Its true not everybody wins
Left in the cold
I'm feeling old
Lowest bidder I am sold
All roads lead to caring only for yourself
So I am told
Is this the day I subscribe to the magazine a hundred K?
Whooooooo
Seems everybody's doing it
And aren't we having fun
It's the new craze
It's all the rage
It's not a yo-yo or a maze
It's the new thing that's grabbed
the imagination of everyone
Whooooooo
Seems everybody's doing it
And this is how it goes
Buy stuff and sex and drugs and cruelty to animals
