FIDLAR

FIDLAR, an acronym for "Fuck It Dog, Life's a Risk," is a skate punk/garage punk band based in Los Angeles, California. The group was formed in 2009 and quickly gained notoriety for their raucous live performances and a sound that encapsulates the carefree and often reckless spirit of West Coast skate culture. Comprised of lead vocalist and guitarist Zac Carper, bassist Brandon Schwartzel, and brothers Elvis and Max Kuehn on guitar and drums respectively, FIDLAR delivers a blend of punk, surf rock, and lo-fi music that resonates with themes of youth, substance abuse, and the struggles of the modern era.

With a discography that has continually echoed the ethos of their name, FIDLAR's music often touches on personal experience, with frontman Carper openly discussing his struggles with addiction and the gritty realities of life on the edge. Their most recent releases, which include the tracks "Get Free," "Move On," and "Nudge," alongside the EPs "Don't Fuck With Vol. 01" and "Don't Fuck With Vol. 02," showcase a band that remains innovative and unapologetically raw. From their energetic riffs to their unfiltered lyrics, FIDLAR has carved out a niche that appeals to those who embrace the messiness of life and the pursuit of freedom within the chaos.
