The Freeze were a punk band from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, formed in 1978 by Clif Croce and Rob Rosenthal. All band members were still in high school. They weren't even old enough to drive to Boston, a city where the underground music scene was flourishing.
This geographic isolation allowed The Freeze to invent themselves on their own terms and they did so by infusing a bold sense of melody and unforeseen lyrical intensity into an aggressive, stripped-down punk style that was soon to be embraced as "hardcore". The band took an anti-conformist/anti-ignorance, pro-civil rights/liberty and freedom stance.
By 1989 the band decided to call it a day.
Band members:
Clif Croce - vocals
Rob Rosenthal - guitar
Bill Close - guitar
Rick Andrews - bass
Ron Cormier - bass
Kevin Vicha - drums
Lou Cataldo - drums.
