Music Profile Monday: FIDLAR

Fuck It Dude, Life’s A Risk: the most perfect name to encapsulate everything amazing about California.

If you’re into punk rock or the rock scene in California, you’ve definitely heard FIDLAR. Their heavy guitar riffs with rattling bass puts everyone in the mood for a few joints, a surf session, and then a house party all in one. With all members hailing from California and one from Hawaii, it’s no shock that the boys of FIDLAR know how to make one fucking amazing surf rock tune.

FIDLAR has carved itself into surf rock history as one of the only bands to truly capture the beauty of living while also getting beaten down every single day from addiction and fame. FIDLAR has opened for several bands including the Hives, putting them on the international stage and in front of a new audience.

Having grown up in Southern California, FIDLAR is easily one of the only surf rock bands around that everyone can get behind. “Can’t You See” makes you feel like a god while driving around PCH looking for a place to set up shop for your morning surf sesh with its addicting beat and intoxicating guitar riff. “No Waves” makes you want to mosh at some random dude’s house in Santa Ana that was taken over by 200 people from all over OC that got the invite.

Best listened with a spliff/joint/marijuana product of your choice and a beach. Listener discretion is advised, so fuck it dude, life’s a risk.
