Frenzal Rhomb
Not So Tough Now
First-ever vinyl release of the second album by Australian band Franzal Rhomb in Europe on SBÄM Records! While only known within underground circles in Europe, Franzal Rhomb are rock stars in their home country. Considered a punk rock institution in Australia, the band's 1994 EP Not So Tough Now, originally released on the Australian label Spent Music as a CD, is now being released for the first time in Europe as a colored vinyl edition via SBÄM Records. Rock, punk, and Australia have always gone hand in hand. As a former British Commonwealth penal colony, Australia has long provided fertile ground for people with little patience for authority exactly the ethos of this skatepunk band formed in 1991. Hailing from Newtown, a suburb of Sydney, the quartet has opened for major punk acts such as Bad Religion, The Offspring, and Blink-182. In Australia, they themselves are among the most recognized punk rock acts and released many of their records through the legendary Fat Wreck Chords label
