THE FREEZE - Live From Cape Cod 1980

Terrific stuff now from The Freeze, punx from Cape Cod, Massachusetts and they were formed by a group of teenagers in 1978. The band is known for their dark lyrics, catchy 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. They've released nine full-length albums and ten 7inches to date and they're still alive. This goodie was recorded @ the Mill Hill Club on 12. April 1980 and released by Schizophrenic Records with a 16x24 inch poster and linernotes by Clif Hanger. Limited to 2000 copies. 1800 copies on green-black splatter vinyl and 200 copies on clear vinyl with green, red and blue splatters. I had the pleasure to see them alive in the Au on July 2009 and what happened there you can see on the basis of some small movies by clicking on the orange link. I hope they will visit us again soon. Until then, this slab must be enough.
