History

After touring as the support act while American punk bands The Offspring, Bad Religion and Blink-182 were in Australia, the group released their first album, 1995's Coughing Up a Storm (although their first release had been 1994's Dick Sandwich EP). Retitled Once a Jolly Swagman Always a Jolly Swagman, the album was issued on America's Liberation Records label two years later. Fat Mike, owner of Fat Wreck Chords and member of NOFX, got his hands on a copy of this album when NOFX toured with Frenzal in 1996. Impressed with what he heard, he apparently asked Jay if he'd fancy to bet the fate of the band to a game of pool^{[citation needed]}. A victory to Jay later^{[citation needed]}, Fat Mike had signed the band to Fat Wreck and released the 4 Litres EP, and soon became one of the biggest independent Australian bands. With the release of their second album Not So Tough Now, they were the self proclaimed 'Punkest Band on Earth'. In September 1997, the band released the album Meet The Family, their first with new guitarist Lindsay McDougall after original guitarist Ben Costello left to become a full time animal rights activist. The album was the first Frenzal LP to be certified gold in Australia. Frenzal Rhomb were also the headliners for the Australian leg of the 1998 Vans Warped Tour (they were recruited for the American edition as well).

The LP A Man's Not A Camel was released in Australia in March 1999 and was supported by a nationwide tour. It remains Frenzal Rhombs' highest placing album to date, reaching 11 on the ARIA charts (it also spawned Frenzal's highest placing single, "You Are Not My Friend", which reached No. 48). Overseas gigs in the USA were dropped after singer Jason Whalley suffered a heart attack in late 1999 and Frenzal Rhomb spent the first few months of 2000 lying low. They returned with the album Shut Your Mouth in November 2000, originally released on Epic Records in Australia, an off-shoot of Sony. After poor sales and reviews and an awkward few months, Sony dropped the band in mid 2001 and they then signed with Epitaph Records in Australia.

Without warning in April 2002, Lex Feltham left Frenzal Rhomb. The band claimed many wild stories about why he left, but one of the most amusing was that he was fired after thinking that Frenzal Rhomb should incorporate synth and keyboard work. The last song he recorded with the band was a cover of Midnight Oil's "The Dead Heart" for a tribute album. Rumours of him being a DJ in Sydney have surfaced, yet nothing concrete.^{[citation needed]} After holding auditions in Sydney, Tom Crease was announced as the new Frenzal Rhomb bass player.

The band also appeared on the "World of Instruments" segment of "John Safran's Music Jamboree", where they played the song "Punch In The Face"

In April 2003, the band released Sans Souci. The album was Frenzal's most critically successful to date (save for perhaps Coughing Up A Storm, or Not So Tough Now) and was hailed as a return to form.^{[citation needed]} Fat Wreck Chords were planning to release a vinyl LP of the album (as they had done with the preceding two albums) but withdrew it at the last moment.

Jackie O controversy

The band caused a stir in the world of Australian commercial radio in July 2004 when they were threatened to be "buried" by commercial station 2Day FM, after an incident involving the band and 2Day FM presenter Jackie O at Bass in the Grass in Darwin. Showing up almost too late to catch any of the gig she was supposed to MC, Jackie O attempted to speak with the audience during Frenzal Rhomb's already dramatically reduced set time. The band began playing over the top of her and Lindsay was heard saying "Jackie O... what the fuck?". Jackie O and her co-presenter, Kyle Sandilands called Jay while on air to demand an apology. There is controversy in regards to who the 'winner' of the on-air argument was, Kyle and Jackie O believing Jay to be hypocritical and offensive, while fans of the Frenzal Rhomb camp believed Jay to be calm and lucid while Jackie O and Kyle were childish and insulting. It cannot be denied that both parties exchanged insults, Jay asking Jackie O if she was "so precious that she couldn't handle a little bit of heckling" while Kyle threatened violence, commercial penalties and called Jay an idiot. ABC Television's Media Watch covered the exchange and raised further issues about the conduct of Kyle and Jackie O. The whole conversation was streamed by bombshellzine.com and transcribed by Craig New on the 'OutwiththeNew' website, and also on Frenzal Rhomb's myspace, however is no longer accessible from any of those sources. The conversation is currently on Youtube. This incident resulted in Frenzal Rhomb being removed from the playlist of all Austereo radio stations, including the 2DayFM network and Triple M.
