Freeze(2)

:(This page is about the American band. For the Scottish band of the same name, see Freeze).
The Freeze is an American punk rock band from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, United States, formed by a group of teenagers in 1978. They released the first single, "I Hate Tourists" in 1980 and contributed eight songs, including the title track to the 1982 hardcore punk compilation This Is Boston, Not L.A.
The band is known for their dark lyrics, original punk rock melodies, and their longevity. A lot of their early lyrics deal with alienation, drug-use/abuse and paranoia (especially of the church, government and those exercising authority over others in general). A constant theme or thread regarding apathetic observers or people willing to give up their freedoms for fear of losing their "security" is also apparent in their work.
==Links to Peel==
Peel seemed to have first played Freeze's material in 1982 and would continue play their songs until the late 80's. There is no evidence currently of Peel playing further records by the group after the 80's according to available tracklistings on this site.
