Waltham is a rock band who formed in 1999. The band takes its name from its hometown of Waltham, Massachusetts. The band is comprised of Frank Pino, Jr. (lead vocals), Alex Fiorentino (lead guitar), Tony Monaco (rhythm guitar), Peet Golan (bass and vocals), and Mikey Rorick (drums).

Their sound - a mix of 80s-style melodic rock and hard rock riffs - has drawn comparisons to Rick Springfield and Van Halen. The comparison is fitting, as the style and lyrics of the songs remind many of 80s teen movies like "Sixteen Candles" and "Fast Times at Ridgemont High", dealing with teenage angst and young love.

Waltham's "Cheryl (Come and Take a Ride)" has been used in promotions for the CBS reality TV series, "The Amazing Race."

Frank Pino, Jr. was featured on a 2006 episode of the MTV show "Made."

Craig Small has two custom white garagemaster guitars built for him by [http://www.firstact.com First Act Guitars] .

Peet Golan has two custom basses, one blue and one black, built by [http://www.firstact.com First Act Guitars] .
