Electric Ballroom

FIDLAR is an American punk and garage rock band from Los Angeles. The band's name is an acronym for Fuck It Dawg, Life's a Risk, a skateboarding mantra adopted from singer Zac Carper's former roommates. The band initially performed under the name 'Fuck The Clock,' as referenced in their song 'Cheap Beer.' They have released four studio albums: FIDLAR (2013), Too (2015), Almost Free (2019), and Surviving the Dream (2024). Their music is characterized by short, fast songs that address themes of partying and narcotics. In 2013, Pitchfork noted that the band "don't make music you'll grow old with, and they won't get an 'A' for originality, but that's not really the point." Some critics regard FIDLAR as among the notable pop-punk bands.
