THE FREEZE
Rabid Reaction
2021 U.S. RSD reissue

An absolute classic from my home state of Massachusetts, and the greatest thing to ever come out of Cape Cod.

I first learned of The Freeze when I was a VERY young kid, probably 8 or 9.
My then-teenage sister’s boyfriend made me a cassette copy of the seminal This Is Boston, Not L.A. comp, an incredible collection of punk from six Masshole bands; including Gang Green, Jerry’s Kids, F.U.’s, The Groinoids, and The Proletariat.

The Freeze were the band that stuck out the most, but it would be quite some time before I’d be able to procure my own CD copy of Rabid Reaction, which would have been around ‘91 while shopping at Newbury Comics.

Glad this got reissued so that younger punks could find it.
It’s so good.

Original 7” singles of “Don't Forget Me Tommy / I Hate Tourists” go for hundreds of dollars.
