Fidlar, stylized as FIDLAR, is an American punk and garage rock band from Los Angeles.[1] The band's name is an acronym for Fuck It Dawg, Life's a Risk, a skate mantra stolen from singer Zac Carper's former roommates.[2] Originally, FIDLAR went under the name 'Fuck The Clock',[3] as referenced in their song "Cheap Beer". To date, the band have released three studio albums: FIDLAR (2013), Too (2015) and Almost Free (2019). The band are mostly known for short, fast songs that deal with partying and narcotics. In 2013, Pitchfork wrote 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".[4] Founding members Zac Carper and Elvis Kuehn met while working at a recording studio in which Carper was employed as an engineer and Kuehn was an intern. The two started recording songs when the studio was empty and posting the finished products online.[5] Three years after recording their first songs, they stepped on stage together with the Black Lips and went on tour with the Hives.[6] Fuck it dog, life’s a risk.
