The Frets are a 4-piece rock band based out of Southern California. Although they call San Diego home, The Frets punchy rock sound showcases British lead singer, Liam Wilkes’, Manchester (UK) roots. His edgy vocals along with lead guitarist, Cody Seeger, driving guitar riffs and Drummer John Martinez’s technical and massive chops- give the band a standout sound.

The Frets unique style pulls from influences of Oasis, Arctic Monkeys, The Killers, Catfish & the Bottlemen, The 1975, The Technicolors and other British rock bands. The 4-piece rockers are set to release their debut EP “BLUR” - Produced by Grammy nominated Billy Smiley - in the Summer of 2018.

“The Frets self assuring anthem “Break Me” addresses nay-sayers with punchy guitar riffs and a high energy hook” - Garage Mahal Sessions

The Frets are comprised of founding members Cody Seeger and Liam Wilkes who met via the reliable world of Craigslist- while trying out for another local band. When the two discovered they had a similar musical vision - they broke off and released a EP under the name “Lad’s Holiday”. After rotating through several drummers, they approached talented Jazz drummer, John Martinez, on social media. Bassist Skyler Lutes completes the 4 piece lineup. The 4 have been playing together now for a year and a half.

The 4-piece have their sights on a late 2018 tour and a full length debut Album to drop in the near future.
