The Frights are a punk band from San Diego, California, with Mikey Carnevale on vocals and guitar, Jordan Clark on guitar and vocals, Richard Dotson on bass and vocals, and Marc Finn on drums. They put out their first album 'You Are Going to Hate This' in 2016, followed by 'Hypochondriac' in 2018 and '177013' in 2022.
Their songs like 'Crust Bucket' and 'Kids' have a fast, distorted sound that nods to earlier punk acts. The lyrics often deal with mental health and social alienation, which has connected with some listeners and drawn criticism from others. In 2019, a line in one of their songs caused some backlash.
They've toured fairly regularly and played at various festivals. The band hasn't shied away from the attention, sometimes using it to talk about mental health topics.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
