Clokwork corp was formed in the twighlight of 1992, in Newcastle, Australia. The members were all inspired by various kinds of metal fusion bands like Faith No more, Rage against the machine and Jane's Addiction. The band began exploring the fusion of musical styles, gravitating lyrically toward political and social themes, and musically into a combination of Funk, Jazz, Punk and Metal. In 1994, the Song 'Hate Machine' was chosen for "The Cat In The Hat" compilation CD which was eventually released in 1995. In 1995, Clokwork won the Newcastle University band competition, for which they were able to record and release the 'Product' Ep, under the Troy Horse Label. The Ep caught them in a hard edged period, 5 gritty cyber-punk tracks deconstructing some of the myths about modern life. After recording the Ep, band members Jamie McKenzie (Guitar) and Igor Pirozzi (Drums) decided to leave the band. John e Normal and Rhys Hotchkies recruited Peter d. Facto and Thomas L. Rock to form what became known as Clokwork The Next Generation. Clokwork TNG, rehearsed rapidly so that by mid 1996 they could perform at the 'product' CD release. The new material included John Normal playing synths and samples. The hip beats of Uncle Pete and the smoothness of Tommy Rock's second vocals moved the group into exploring a distinctly Australian style fusion of Electro, Rap, Industrial and Lounge. One of their first songs, 'Coffee & Donuts' was included in the 'Songs about other things' compilation
