FIDLAR – FIDLAR – Limited Black and White Splash Vinyl, LP, Reissue, Mom+Pop, 2024
FIDLAR’s self-titled debut album, released in 2012, is a raw, high-energy mix of punk rock, garage rock, and surf punk. The Los Angeles-based band, whose name stands for “F**k It Dog, Life’s a Risk,” delivers a raucous sound marked by fuzzy guitars, thrashing rhythms, and unfiltered lyrics.
Themes of reckless youth, partying, and existential chaos dominate tracks like “Cheap Beer” and “No Waves,” reflecting a carefree yet defiant ethos. Known for their DIY roots and raucous live shows, FIDLAR’s debut is a bold statement of rebellion and escapism, appealing to fans of gritty, anthemic punk. Their sound captures the spirit of skate culture and a devil-may-care attitude, resonating with listeners seeking catharsis and adrenaline.
