Frenzal Rhomb

Biography

Frenzal Rhomb is an Australian punk rock band from Sydney, New South Wales. Frenzal Rhomb was formed in 1992 in the suburb of Newtown in Sydney with Alexis "Lex" Feltham on bass and Jason Whalley on vocals. Feltham and Whalley were classmates at St Ives High School in St Ives. Whalley had begun a bachelor of arts degree in philosophy at the University of Sydney when he formed Frenzal Rhomb as a punk rock band. The band was formed to participate in a battle of the bands, and at that stage it was not considered a punk rock band. In March 1995, Frenzal Rhomb released its first studio album, Coughing Up a Storm, on Shagpile Records, a sub-label of Shock Records.
