The Frights were formed in 2013 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.

"[2] The band separated shortly after formation, with all three members attending college, but rejoined in December 2012 to play a one-off show during Christmas break.

In 2014, the band would continue to perform live as well as record and release new material starting with the single "Tongues / Puppy Knuckles" in April.

This marked the band's final release with Postmark, as well as the exit of drummer Adam Lomnitzer who would be replaced by Marc Finn shortly after.
