Press Quotes
“On their self-titled debut, the fierce LA band blends messy house-[arty punk with fuzzy surf vibes and comes off like the Pixies if they wore lamp shades on their heads.” – Entertainment Weekly
“Punk’s not dead! And FIDLAR are here from Los Angeles to prove it with three-chord thrashes that summon the spirit of 77” – Guardian
“This doped-up, hard-partying Los Angeles four-piece are set to be the most exciting punk band of 2013.” – NME
“When they’re not guzzling cheep swill and writing rock & roll thrashers about it, Los Angeles punks FIDLAR have shown a knack for crafting sunnier pop cuts befitting their hometown.” – Rolling Stone
“FIDLAR isn’t just another California punk band churning out hard-driving rock (although tracks like “Cheap Beer” certainly live up that expectation); rather they infuse their songs—like the stand-out “Gimme Something”—with a subtly sunny pop vibe that shows off their LA roots” – TIME Magazine
“Carper and his bandmates may in fact be incorrigible do-nothings, but they’ve got something to show for it: an ever-growing catalog of readymade garage-punk classics that draw omnivorously on a half century of bad-ass pop, from Phil Spector to Nirvana to the late, great Jay Reatard.” – Noisey
“FIDLAR channel elements of classic acts like the White Stripes and Pixies, while practically begging for a co-headlining tour with contemporaries like Bass Drum of Death and JEFF the Brotherhood” – SPIN
“The tune can be summed up in a handful of image descriptions; sandboarding, grim reaper, suicidal flip-up hat, skull mask, and shred.” – Filter Magazine
“We all have a major music crush on FIDLAR here at VICE” – VICE
“FIDLAR has an agressive, straightforward, but melodic conception of punk.” – LA Times
“But one wouldn’t mistake the band for one of its slacker subjects, not when they play this fast. The tracks sizzle with the aggression and bargain-price fidelity of the SoCal punk tradition, though FIDLAR’s catchy hooks have more in common with Social Distortion and Wavves than Black Flag. ” – MTV Buzz
