FIDLAR is Zac Carper, Elvis Kuehn, Brandon Schwartzel, and Max Kuehn. Elvis and Zac met at Kingsize Soundlabs in LA and recorded a ton of demos with the band before playing a live show. Their first show was on a FMLY bike ride at a skatepark in Culver City. Three years later the band has
Our favorite fun loving punks are at it again. If you guessed that we’re referring to FIDLAR, then you win. The L.A.-natives performed “No Waves” and “Whore” on Last Call With Carson Daly the other night and if that isn’t enough, the band recently released a free EP, aptly tited Shit We Recorded In Our
On January 22 (and February 4 for our friends in the UK), our favorite new punks FIDLAR are finally releasing their eagerly anticipated self-titled debut album via Mom & Pop (Wichita in the UK).

One of the treats of Lollapalooza are the after-hours shows that scattered throughout the Windy City. This year is no different. Some of the biggest names that’ve graced the stage in Grant Park earlier in the day will be playing at some of the most intimate venues in the city. While most of the bigger
