About Me

NOTE: There are 6 songs in our player. Scroll down! And, in the Snocap player/store, those songs are from a live show at the Linwood (now "Church") in Boston in March 2007.
The Freeze are a Cape Cod and Boston based punk band with 27 years of history. We've released 7 albums' worth of original material, appeared on the legendary "This is Boston Not LA" compilation in 1982 and the "American Hardcore" soundtrack in 2007, among others. The Unseen cover our song "Talking Bombs" on their latest record. We've toured Europe 3 times and completed a Texas/Arizona/California tour in 2007. We have more than 100 songs on the iTunes Store and are on eMusic as well.
We are on iTunes! Our back catalog, and upcoming new material, available on CD and digitally from:
