The Frights are California surf punk with a hangover and a sense of humor, a band formed in 2012 that sounds like the beach party broke up hours ago and nobody wants to go home. Their early split, the DeathFrights Split EP from 2014, gave the countdowns "Kids", all reverb-soaked guitars and scrappy yelps.
You Are Going to Hate This, from 2016, is more than a self-deprecating title: the songs sharpen up, the hooks get stickier, and the title track proves that snotty and tuneful can share a room. Hypochondriac followed in 2018 with "Over It", a little more world-weary and a lot more polished.
Since 2017 the lineup has been Mikey Carnevale on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Jordan Clark on lead guitar, Richard Dotson on bass and Marc Finn on drums, with Clark and Dotson chipping in backing vocals.
