The Frights - Kids





1.    Who are these trippers?

The Frights are a garage surf punk band from San Diego, California. The Frights are two long players and two short players to the good. Kids (Jan’16) is a re-hash from the E.P. DeathFrights (2014) and rockets of the second album You Are Going To Hate This (Feb’16).


2. What kind of gloop are The Frights slopping?

Kids is a sweet little garage surf rocker that sounds like it was recorded at a warehouse gig. But The Frights fucking flail the beast at the end for a rousing finale.



3. Who do The Frights sound like?

SWMRS, FIDLAR and WAVVES.


4. What have plastic punchers got to say about Kids?

“A wobbly, disenchanted anthem” – Consequence Of Sound.

“A hormonal mess of powerful rhythms” – Alt Press.


“Upbeat and decidedly punk-rock” – Interview Magazine.





5. Who puts the scary into The Frights tunes?

The Frights influences are Black Flag, Bad Religion and Red Hot Chili Peppers.


6. Why should I risk contamination from Kids?

Kids is, as the title suggests, a punk anthem for the restless everywhere with a cranky lead break that don't quit. Exquisite.



7. Has lightning struck before for The Frights?

Nasal intercourse. (Fuck knows).


8. More words?

You Are Going To Hate This was produced by Zac Carper of FIDLAR.
The Frights have been on the road with SWMRS this year.

The Frights have expressed big love for AC/DC and Prince.


“Growing up is suicide”





Prince to The Beatles royalty, rock god and musical genius, Electric Light Orchestra is Jeff Lynne. He starting making music in 1963 and is still rocking harder than a prison rapist's hardon. As well as creating his own legacy of 70’s golden pop rock, selling 50 million albums, twenty top 20 UK singles and fifteen top 20 US singles, Jeff Lynne produced albums for Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, and Brian Wilson. Jeff Lynne also formed The Travellin’ Wilburys (1988-90) with a few friends. The well of Jeff Lynne's musical goodness has influenced indie pop and rock to no less extent than The Beatles and must be dipped into from time to time for a healthy mind and body. Livin’ Thing (1976) was the lead single from ELO’s sixth album A New World (1976), the album was a world wide top ten hit that spawned three more massive singles. Livin' Thing topped a 2006 Q Magazine poll of guilty pleasures, beating out Boston's More Than A Feeling.

It’s a terrible thing to lose”
