Frenzal Rhomb – “Coughing up a storm” – LP Euro Pressing

Special Euro Pressing Available on a SPLATTER vinyl

A quintessential slice of mid-90s punk rock history, Coughing up a storm is the legendary 1995 debut studio album from the irreverent Australian punk icons Frenzal Rhomb. This European pressing LP reissues the record for northern hemisphere collectors, pressed through specialized punk label SBÄM Records. The physical release breathes fresh life into the group’s early independent era, packaging their distinctively raw, blazing skate-punk production onto dynamic vinyl configurations that capture the full energy of their early live sets.

What makes this record an absolute standout is its unapologetic, rapid-fire execution and dark, satirical humor. Delivering 15 tracks of blistering, short-fuse punk rock, Frenzal Rhomb established their signature style right out of the gate: combining incredibly catchy, melodic hooks with aggressive tempos and cynical socio-political commentary. Fronted by the distinct vocals of Jason Whalley, the album’s chaotic charm and fast-paced anthems made it an instant classic in the underground skate-punk scene. It remains a foundational artifact of Aussie punk that helped pave the way for the band’s decades-long legacy.
