Formation

Frost was formed in September 2004[1], by songwriter, producer and musician Jem Godfrey - better known to the wider world for his work creating chart-topping pop hits for bands including Atomic Kitten - when he made a conscious decision to return to his own musical past writing and playing progressive music,[2][3] in the band Freefall.[4][5] Jeremy Jem Godfrey, is a British music producer, songwriter, and keyboardist. ...

After listening to a broad selection of contemporary progressive music, he first approached John Mitchell of Arena, The Urbane and Kino,[3] (and currently lead guitarist and singer for It Bites). Mitchell then introduced Godfrey to John Jowitt (also of Arena, and additionally IQ and Jadis), subsequently leading to meeting Andy Edwards (of The Wikkamen, Priory of Brion, IQ and the Ian Parker Band).[2][3] John Boyes, Godfrey's former band-mate in Freefall in the 1990s, and from the band Rook, had already performed significant rhythm guitar work on the early recordings.[2][3] John Mitchell is a guitarist and vocalist with such UK progressive bands as Arena, The Urbane, Kino, Frost and It Bites. ...

Recording and Performance

Frost completed only one album, Milliontown, the 26 minute long eponymous final track of which was inspired by the book Real Food Fast by Nigel Slater.[3] It was released in the United States on July 18, 2006 and in Europe on July 24.[6] The band went on a brief tour to play a selection from the album, supporting Pallas on a four date tour of the Netherlands and Germany in October 2006.

Dissolution and re-birth

Shortly after returning from the tour, Godfrey announced - by way of an article on the band's blog on MySpace on the 29th of the month (since removed), and re-iterated by InsideOut in a bulletin on the same site two days later (expired) - that due to his increasing professional and personal commitments elsewhere, Frost would be dissolved after fulfilling 4 remaining concert dates. It later emerged that an appearance at the RoSfest in 2007, in America - which was the final scheduled date - had been cancelled.[7][8] The final appearance of Frost was as support for The Flower Kings at La Scala, in Kings Cross, London, on December 10, 2006.[9] To meet Wikipedias quality standards, this article or section may require cleanup. ...
