Minty Archaeology



Despite having released just two singles,The Freeze's repertoire live was surprisingly large.Some of those songs can be rediscovered in David Clancy's youtube project (see Links list).Last year I came across a four band compilation EP from an Edinburgh label called Playlist Records that contained a Freeze reference.A track by "Twisted Nerve","Neutral Zone",was "based" on a song "written by Gordon Sharp for and perfomed with The Freeze".



Any recollections of this song?

The original "Neutral Zone" (an anti-National Front song) was written collectively by the Freeze as a band.
Twisted Nerve re-wrote it almost entirely but they based it on my lyrics and the chanted part of the song.Makes you wonder why they didn't just write their own song!? Ours was a very popular live song with the crowd singing along so i'm guessing it must have been a compliment.

I wonder how many have covered Freeze and Cindytalk songs. My personal favourite is Black Rose covering 'Circle of Shit'. Would anyone be willing to list the 'nods' they know of?
