Freeze The Fall plough The Red Garden!

Freeze the Fall - The Red Garden - Album Cover

They’re young, they’re hungry, and that’s a good thing. Teen band or not, Freeze The Fall boast a musical prowess well beyond their years. And all of that comes with a professional media marketing package that’s almost flawless in nature and execution. But it ain’t snazzy marketing that got our attention, it’s that irresistible sound roaring out of our mighty music machine.

First, you’ll get some poppy tunes thrown at ye. But those morph quickly into some caustic Punk attack. … [...] Click to raid more!
