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

Their sound - a mix of 80's 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 80's 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 had two custom white garagemaster guitars built for him by first Act guitars.

Peet Golan also had two custom basses, one blue and one black, built by first Act Guitars.
