Freeze Crawling Blind/Freak Show CD

htm The Freeze began playing Punk Rock in 1979 and have been attempting to play what we began playing for the past 26 years, just trying to improve our Punk style with every new song we write. We have 12 studio albums out, we've headlined 2 tours of Europe and one tour of the states. The latest news is that our first 45 I HATE TOURISTS has just been re-released by Schizophrenic Records out of Canada in a limited edition of 1000. There are also VERY limited amounts, 50 or so, that came out on blue and light green Vinyl. We've recently signed a new contract with BEER CITY Records. This contract includes a guarantee of recording a New Studio CD of all NEW songs sometime later this year. We are already planning our first release on BEER CITY, a CD containing TWO Live in the studio performances on WERS, Boston's Emerson College Radio station. These two live performances include one from 1985 where we previewed then NEW songs from our "forthcoming" album RABID REACTION, as well as many older cuts. The second Live session was recorded in July of 2005. It consists of 14 tracks including TWO Brand New songs that have NEVER been heard or played anywhere else. The two songs are "Somebody's Been Bleeding" and "New Eyes". Rounding out the remainder of this forthcoming CD release will be three seldom heard tracks from a split CD we did with the German Punk band The Killrays, and the 4 tracks we recorded for a split CD we did with the Chicago Punk band The Bollweevils, called A DEADLY DUO. It was released in 1996 by Dr Strange. Both of these splits are now long out-of-print! 2006 is already one of the busiest years for THE FREEZE in our 25-plus year history. This year has already seen the re-release of out first 45 I HATE TOURISTS by the Canadian Punk Label Schixophrenix Records. Sometime in July they will also be re-releasing our first ep GUILTY FACE with a couple bonus tracks. Thirdly, they will be releasing this summer a Lp that is very important to me personlly. It will be comprised entirely of 18 songs from one of our very first club shows, one we did back in 1980 at The Mill Hill Club. At least half of the tracks on this have never been heard by anyone but me and the 6 or 7 people who accidentily happened to be in the audience that night. This was JUST after I HATE TOURISTS had been released! Also in the works is a 25 year comprehensive DVD tentatively titled "25 YEARS OF DEFIANCE". It will include hours of Live footage never before available, interviews with band members past and present, and many other "Special Features". BEER CITY should be set to release this later in 2006. Finally watch for other re-releases of ALL currently out-of-print Cds', never before released LIVE shows, Rare and alternate tracks, then a Second Tour of the states and a third tour of Europe. All of this will topped off with the release of our 11th studio release before the end of the year! Today THE FREEZE are: Joe Koonz: Lead Guitar, Chris Barone: Drums, Mark Leonard: 2nd Guitar, Kevin Bonelli: Bass, Clif Hanger: Vocals
