FIDLAR

FIDLAR

The self-titled debut album from the latest Wichita Recordings signings is FIDLAR.

Hailing from L.A., FIDLAR is Brandon, Max, Zac, and Elvis. And FIDLAR stands for “Fuck It Dog, Life's A Risk”.

Listening to them, you can tell that the band did their homework on punk rock. Any given song could include a Germs influenced guitar solo, the catchy "Ooo's" and "Ah's" of The Misfits and lyrics in the same family as Black Flag's "Six Pack" and "TV Party".

On the same token they can just as easily be compared to any of the bands they cover at their ever more legendary and frenetic live shows (Blink 182, FEAR, CCR, Warron Zevon), yet it all comes across entirely their own: surfier, faster, more fuzzed out, more personal and a lot more drunk.

Recorded and produced by the band in LA and then mixed by Rob Schnapf (Elliot Smith, Beck, Guided By Voices etc), this is 14 slices of insanely catchy and tuneful punk rock.
