History

The Frights Album Review quotYou Are Going to Hate Thisquot by The Frights KRUI

The Frights were formed in 2012 by lead vocalist/guitarist Mikey Carnevale, bassist Richard Dotson, and drummer Adam Lomnitzer as a simple time-killer project following the trio's graduation from high school. Their musical style mixed elements of surf, classic punk, and doo-wop, resulting in "tunes that managed to be catchy, aggressive, and playfully ridiculous all at once."

The band separated shortly after formation, with all 3 members attending college, but rejoined in December 2012 to play a one-off show during Christmas break. The intent was to disband once again after this show, but the band were approached by an audience member who offered to sign the band to local label Postmark Records.

The Frights FLOOD The Frights

In March 2013, The Frights' debut EP Dead Beach was released by Postmark. This was followed by their second EP, Fur Sure, in May 2013, and their self-titled debut studio album in October 2013.

The Frights signed with indie label Dangerbird Records in 2015. Subsequently, they released their sophomore studio album You Are Going To Hate This, produced by FIDLAR frontman Zac Carper, in February 2016. The release of You Are Going To Hate This marked the replacement of Lomnitzer with new drummer Marc Finn.
