Album Review: Frenzal Rhomb - Hi Vis High Tea

Aussie punk stalwarts Frenzal Rhomb can still cram as many hooks and killer licks into 90 seconds as any of their would-be heirs.

Ferocious lead single Cunt Act delineates a diabolical range of everyday discourtesies, Ray Ahn Is My Spirit Animal — a tribute to the Hard-Ons' bass player — has circle pit written all over it, while the band's subversive humour is let loose during Don't Cast Aspergers On Me. For a change of pace there's Food Court, an urban-angst anthem that sees Jay Whalley sitting despondent under fluorescent lights, watching fights break out amid revellers coming down from ecstasy. Vintage Frenzal.
