Smoko at the Pet Food Factory is the eighth studio album by Australian punk band Frenzal Rhomb. It was released in Australia on Shock Records on 19 August 2011. The album's title refers to singer Jay Whalley's recording studio located in the Sydney suburb of Marrickville, which is named the Pet Food Factory. During the demo sessions for the album, the band spent a large amount of time sitting on the balcony outside the studio having a 'smoko break', rather than actually recording the tracks. By contrast, the recording sessions with producer Bill Stevenson at The Blasting Room in Fort Collins, Colorado were tracked at a rapid pace, with multiple parts of the recording process happening simultaneously. It was nominated at the ARIA Music Awards of 2012 for Best Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Album, but lost to DZ Deathrays for Bloodstreams.
