Frights, The - You Are Going To Hate This

A hormonally charged garage-surf-punk mess of driving rhythms and reverb drenched riffs with 50's rockabilly references as fresh as the faces of this San Diego band. It's all held together by front man Mikey Carnevale's vocals pivoting effortlessly from hook-up to breakup, from croon to wail. Fidlar's Zac Carper handles production duties for the band's Dangerbird records debut You Are Going To Hate This, which brilliantly captures the unbridled energy of the Frights' live shows while letting their exuberant dirty doo-wop shine.
