A band whose take on garage punk has a heavily psychedelic flavor, Frankie & the Witch Fingers play rock & roll rooted in '60s and '70s influences, but with an edgy energy and broad range of flavors to go along with the trippy but elemental melodies. Along with the usual fuzzy guitars and buzzy keyboards, Frankie & the Witch Fingers season their music with plenty of reverb and period-appropriate studio effects, and their dedication to the sounds of the past is impressive. But the group has songs to go along with their retro style, and the fierce passion of their performances gives their music a kick that adds a contemporary sheen to their attack. The band's garage rock leanings were at their peak on their debut album, while their freak flag took center stage later on. The band's first several albums were sterling examples of home-brewed production, but 2019's Zam revealed a studio approach added to the impact of their music.

In 2014, the band left Bloomington, Indiana behind and relocated to Los Angeles, and they struck up a relationship with Permanent Records, which issued their second album, Frankie & the Witch Fingers, in 2015. The band were prolific, releasing a single ("Merry Go Round" b/w "Manta" and "Mystical Rapture") and an album (Heavy Roller) in 2016, with another full-length, Brain Telephone, following in 2017, along with extensive live work in the United States and abroad. Entering Silverlake's Studio 666, Frankie & the Witch Fingers released their fifth album, Zam, through Greenway Records in March 2019, and the group toured hard in support. The LP, Monsters Eating People Eating Monsters appeared in October 2020.
