The Freeze

THE FREEZE - 44 years later (1978 - 2022) AND still playing Punk Rock. With a home base in Phoenix, AZ... In June of 2019, THE FREEZE released their first new studio album in 20 years. Titled CALLING ALL CREATURES, it features 12 SONGS written by Bill Close and Clif Hanger! The Freeze are a seminal punk rock band from Cape Cod, Massachusetts that came together in 1978 when they were teenagers. The band's first release was the "I Hate Tourists / Don't forget me Tommy" 7 inch which was released in 1980. The Freeze had nine songs appear on the important New England punk rock compilation "This is Boston Not LA" in 1981. They have recorded many full length albums including the 80's classics "Land of the Lost", "Rabid Reaction". The 1990's saw the releases of "Misery Loves Company", "Crawling Blind" and "Freak Show" as well as the studio album titled "One False Move" in 1999.

The air is hanging heavy
I hear the rocking of a chair
The room's are all so barren
No nothing could be there
The curtains are hanging shredded
Plasters falling off the walls
The window's cracked and bleeding
Bloods pouring down the halls

But the Gardener keeps on trimming
And the Maid keeps cleaning trays
While around the house is rotting
They don't watch as it decays
The paper keeps on coming
All the bills are paid on time
They're content to call it harmony
But nothing ever rhymes

Perched by the crumbling fireplace
The piano strikes a tune
Its joined in by the voices
Though no one's in the room
Rain pelted all the windows
The lightning stung the sky
The plaster keeps on falling
But the house will never die

The Gardener keeps on trimming
And the Maid keeps cleaning trays
While around the house is rotting
They don't watch as it decays
The paper keeps on coming
All the bills are paid on time
They're content to call it harmony
But nothing ever rhymes
