Frenzal Rhomb Unveil George Pell T-Shirt And It's Brilliant

There are many reasons to love Frenzal Rhomb. They’re one of Australia’s most respected punk bands, they’re absolutely hilarious, they once took a photo with Roger Climpson, and they put on one heck of a live show.

But the latest reason to love the Sydney outfit comes in the form of a T-shirt, one they just recently unveiled to celebrate their ongoing regional Friendless Summer tour, which has them hitting up regional centres alongside Clowns.

“These are the first shows back for Frenzal’s recently traumatised drummer Gordy, returning to the tubs after an extended visit to the sick bay,” the band write. As some readers will recall, Gordy injured his arm rather badly after an unfortunate stage incident.

“This truly is a ‘back to school edition’ with a special visit to the diocese of Ballarat,” they continue. “Appropriate merchandise will be available as always.” Appropriate merchandise? Oh yeah, Frenzal have definitely given us that.

Remember how Tim Minchin wrote a song all about how Cardinal George Pell is a jerk? Well, Frenzal Rhomb decided to express the same sentiment differently, by depicting the Cardinal sitting atop an infernal throne as he burns in Hell.

The T-shirt, which we have no doubt will sell out quickly (and we do hope the money goes to survivors), is a take on thrash metal veterans Slayer’s famous album Hell Awaits, with the word ‘Hell’… well, you can figure it out for yourselves. Check out the sick merch below.
