Freeze Frame were an English new wave band from Liverpool, England, which consisted of vocalist Steve Byrne, instrumentalist/producer Ronnie Stone and later, keyboardist Clive Gee. They released six singles between 1981 and 1985.

History

Steve Byrne and Ronnie Stone first met around 1980/81, while Byrne was singer in a punk/new wave band called The Posers.[1] Stone was a member of 1970s duo Next, with Philip Franz Jones who would later become a member of Afraid of Mice.

The band's name Freeze Frame was named after the album by Godley & Creme. Before Freeze Frame, the band was known as In a Glass Darkly, doing gigs alongside China Crisis.[1]

Clive Gee from Afraid of Mice joined Freeze Frame around the release of the single "Foxhole", which was their only charting single at No. 105.[1]

The band did Radio One sessions for John Peel in 1983 and 1984. A new version of "Touch" was released in 1985, renamed "Touch (Re-Touch)".[1]
