… 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.
Enemy
Antifreeze Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
last night he egged my house, and toilet papered my trees
this guy sucks at life, but he's good at pissing me off
I can never think of a way to tell him "that's enough"
there are a lot of enemies in this world
there is an enemy for everyone
If you don't believe me, you'll know it's true
before you know, he's (she's) not your friend
you'll find out in the end
I've got an enemy who works with me everyday
he likes to talk a lot, he thinks he knows everything
he only shows respect when he is outta cigarettes
that way he can get them off of me
The lyrics of Antifreeze's song "Enemy" depict the frustration one feels when faced with an enemy or someone who is constantly getting on their nerves. The first verse talks about a specific enemy who lives nearby and has vandalized their property. The singer expresses their anger towards this person, but also admits that they struggle to confront him directly. The second verse introduces another enemy in the singer's life, a coworker who is arrogant and only shows respect when he needs something. The song hints at the idea that enemies can come in all shapes and sizes, and can be found in many different areas of our lives.
What makes this song interesting is its relatable subject matter. Everyone has encountered an enemy in their life, whether it's a rival at work, a neighborhood bully, or simply someone who grates on our nerves. The song captures the anger and frustration of dealing with these individuals, but also acknowledges the difficulty of confronting them directly. The chorus serves as a warning that enemies can hide in plain sight, and that we may not realize who they are until it's too late.

Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say, “I will take revenge; I will pay them back,” says the LORD.
Romans12: 19- 20

There was a kid in my school who kept on stealing my fries and he walked by so when he wasn't looking I stomped on a fry and rubbed it into the nastiest crevice on the floor.. I put it back and pretended to look away.. he walked by and ate it and me and my sister started crying with laughter.. he kindodd started freaking out saying things like" Whats so funny"
