Calling Appleton,
Wisconsin home isn't exactly something that propels a band into
notoriety, but it's not anything to be ashamed of either. So after
long stints of touring and meeting temptation in every city they
play, Antifreeze always return to Appleton with a smile
on their collective face.
Led by tag-team
songwriters/vocalists Tim Crowley and Jon Tyler, their yin-and-yang
approach to crafting their songs gives Antifreeze a unique
starting point when creating an album. The songs' structure and
vocals are distinctly different, but the final result is a product
that holds the listener's attention right to the very end. Guitarist
Mason Zuleger adds a wild element to their live show, constantly
moving and jumping around the stage without a care in the world.
Where previous drummers were suitable for the job, the recent
addition of young prodigy Trevor Lewis brings the rhythm section
to a much higher level. Yes, he really is that good.
Their pop-laden
debut Four Letter Words, produced by Kris Roe of The Ataris, branded
them as a quality pop-punk outfit that Kung Fu has become known
for. With their second album The Search For Something More, Antifreeze
branch out on their own, catapulting themselves from the pop-punk
bin and into territory where bands finally break free of genre
titles and earn a classification worthy of their own style. Instead
of repetition, listeners get a new treat with every track, blending
punk, emo, pop, and straight-up rock while cutting the mix even
further with two separate vocalists. Their association with recently-graduated
rock heroes The Ataris (who not only discovered them and produced
their first album, but now manage them as well) will pave the
beaten paths with gold for Antifreeze to reach whole new
levels.
Between the
worldwide recognition of Kung Fu Records and Antifreeze's
appealing brand of rock, you are sure to come across these four
Wisconsin boys playing a nearby stage very soon. Touring workhorses
they are, Antifreeze have toured worldwide with Sum 41,
The Vandals, AFI, The Ataris, Audio Karate, plus the 2001 and
2002 Warped Tours.
