The Freeze are a hardcore punk rock band from Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The Freeze formed in late 1978. At the time all members were in high school. The Freeze are generally considered to be a Boston hardcore band, but they never truly fit into the typical Boston mold.

Like most hardcore groups, the band was started by enthusiastic teenagers. Indeed, despite the popularity of their first record, the band's ability to capitalize on their local fame was limited only by their age at the time. Most members weren't old enough to drive to Boston, the local mecca of hardcore.

The Freeze were neither straight edge nor heavy metal-influenced like their Boston contemporaries DYS and SSD. The Freeze have a more melodic sound which hints more to pure punk rock than hardcore.

Jerknerds has been called "Denmark’s best kept garage punk secret", and there is no smoke without a fire.

Their songs deal with being broke, being too stoned, “friends” pissing you off, that sort of thing. It is issues that doesn’t take deep soul-searching to unravel, but can be lifted off the chest almost immediately with a simple, short and sweet extrovert burst of energy.

Which is why Jerknerds deal in trashy, sloppily-recorded and ridiculously catchy garage punk anthems that rarely exceed the 2 minute mark in the tradition of Oblivians and the Reatards . It’s silly, raw and perhaps most importantly, fun.
