… Read Full Bio ↴*Note: Not to be confused with "Anti-Freeze" (Canadian Black Metal)
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.
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.
DEAD END
Antifreeze Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I once hit a dead end, between me and all of my friends
I really don't know what happened but I sure would like to know
I guess things just weren't going right, not keeping with the flow
beyond my comprehension, the hell if i know
round and round i go, where it stops, I wish I knew
where did all the time go, i just don't know
yes you ought to tell me why I am at a dead end
You told me how easy it's been, just to play me like a fool
all my friends are leaving me, now you tell me you are too?
I've just been so rejected, now i am feeling so neglected
I'll just walk the streets tonight, try to find another paradise
The lyrics of Dead End by Antifreeze are introspective and express the feeling of isolation and confusion that can arise when relationships go sour. The song begins with the singer recounting an experience where he hit a dead end with his friends, a metaphorical representation of a falling out. He is unsure of what brought about this rift and is left in a state of confusion. The lyrics imply that the singer may need closure and wants answers to why his friendships failed.
As the song progresses, the singer talks about the transient nature of his life and relationships. He reflects on how fast time is passing and how his car - a symbol of his life - is running out of gas. The lyrics are melancholic and express a tone of hopelessness. The singer is looking for someone to help him understand why he is in a dead end in life.
The second half of the song focuses on the singer's feelings of being used and abandoned. He has been played for a fool and is now left alone. This experience has left him feeling rejected and neglected. The singer decides to walk the streets to find a new paradise, a new sense of hope in life.
Antifreeze's song Dead End explores themes of disconnected relationships and the feeling of being stuck in life. The song has a cathartic effect on the listener and is relatable for anyone who has felt lost and unsure of how to move forward.

I knew this crime when i was around age 12 when it was on tv in a crime investigation channel. The mother even tried to blame one of her teenage girl by drugging her just to delay the investigation, the mother wrote a letter framing her teenage girl using Microsoft word. The investigators knew it was the mother who did this because she wrote antifreeze as antifree and that Microsoft word has a time stamp that records the time that the file was edited. The teenage girl who got drugged by her mom was so in disbelief that she just wanted to scream at her mother.
The first time she did it was to her first husband, she had wrote life insurance to him. After the job was done successfully , and without arousing any suspicion by the police. She got paid with the life insurance money and took her kids to Disneyland and bought expensive furniture to renovate the house.

I actually stopped watching these because it's like this every week and it's so frustrating. I've left multiple comments and not that mine are so special, it's that every comment section on every video looks just like this. Someone somewhere doesn't understand engagement and is just happy to check the box on their weekly report to more people who don't understand that the segments were uploaded and the # of views without any quality checks or comment moderation. This is a gold mine, ABC, help us help you!

Spoiler since they wont release the ending and the videos seem to disappear, she killed her first husband and second husband with antifreeze. After they dug up her first husbands body after her second husbands death ruled suicide by antifreeze, she drugged her daughter and hoped she would die due to it and wrote a suicide note for her claiming she killed both dads. They searched the computer and realized that the suicide note was typed on the moms account when the daughter was in college, it was obvious what happened though it was clear to the detectives before but they needed more proof. Her daughter didnt die from her moms attempt and cleared herself. Stacy received 50 years for the death of her 2nd husband and attempted murder of her daughter, that is it. She died at 48 in prison. This is my feelings after searching out the whole story:
I dont care if there "isnt much need" to push the conviction of murder for her first husbands death. For one, his family and loved ones deserve the justice of knowing that she was legally responsible for his death by murder, and two, 50 years isnt life without parole or death and this woman clearly can present herself as a saint when she got away with one murder for 5 years before killing a second husband and attempting to kill her own child and frame her. 50 years?! For 2 murders and attempted murder?! Where the fuck is the justice?! Her dying at 48 wasnt punishment because she didnt die after decades of reflecting on what she did before dying of old age behind bars and didnt die by the needle like she should have. I'm sad shes dead only because she never faced true justice for what she did to those who trusted her most.
