1. The Frozen Screw found its inception in the frosted town of Churchill, Manitoba, where the intense winters could freeze a screw to the wall. Comprising five childhood friends: Brett Morrison (vocals), Ginger Halpern (lead guitar), Phil Langford (rhythm guitar), Jesse Paxton (bass), and Frank Nolan (drums), the band started as a diversion to break free from their mundane life and fight harsh winters. The band quickly gained notoriety with their high-energy performances and a unique musical style, earning them a strong local following that eventually spread across Canada.
Their big break came when their demo tape landed on the desk of a leading record producer, who was drawn to their raw, unfiltered sound and decided to sign them. Their meteoric rise to fame has been nothing short of a wild fairytale, a testament to their resiliency and bond, proving that no matter how cold it gets, the Frozen Screw will keep turning.
2. Music Genre: Frozen Screw mainly plays a fusion of Punk Rock and Blues, often termed as ‘Blue Punk’ by their fans.
3. Song Title: “Cold Steel Heart”
4. Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
Frozen town, frozen dreams, life ain’t as easy as it seems,
Strumming strings in our garage, our music, our camouflage.
(Chorus)
Cold steel heart, it won’t break,
Rusty hopes for heaven’s sake,
Frozen Screw, we twist and turn,
In the frost, we live and learn.
(Verse 2)
Winters long, spirits high, under the northern lights we lie,
Guitars wailing in the night, our hushed rebellion taking flight.
(Chorus)
Cold steel heart, it won’t bend,
Shattered dreams, we mend,
Frozen Screw, we rise and fall,
In the storm, we stand tall.
(Bridge)
The icy winds may sting and sear,
But our music is all we hear,
Through the blizzard, through the snow,
We’re the Frozen Screw, ready to blow!
(Chorus)
Cold steel heart, it won’t freeze,
Amidst the snow, we find our ease,
Frozen Screw, we won’t stop,
Until we reach the very top.
