The Orwells To Support

After a sold out spring tour with Wavves, FIDLAR is thrilled to announce their debut fall headlining tour, with stops at Austin City Limits and Bumbershoot Festivals.

Jon Pareles (New York Times)  commented on one of  the band’s SXSW performances, stating, “FIDLAR, from Los Angeles, worked a sly paradox. In songs about characters leading dissolute, drug-addled lives, the music is as cleanly executed as punk could be; unisons are perfectly tuned and timed, like one big shared instrument, pounding home riffs like a stainless-steel railroad spike.”

Don’t miss FIDLAR’s racous live show, and check out their latest video for “Max Can’t Surf” here.

Press Quotes

“And as they like to remind you in interviews and at their live shows, FIDLAR is an acronym for “fuck it, dog, life’s a risk.” That said, across these 39 minutes, they also make life sound like a lot of fun.” – Pitchfork

“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
