FIDLAR has made their return with two new singles “GET OFF MY WAVE” and “FIX ME.” ALong with the announcement of SURVIVING THE DREAM; the irreverent surf-punk band’s long-awaited fourth studio LP and first in over five years.
“GET OFF MY WAVE” and “FIX ME” are a pair of red-hot tracks bristling with frenzied, cranked-to-the-max sonics. “FIX ME” debuts today along with a brand new music video featuring Sosie Bacon, as she delivers an unhinged karaoke performance.
“This record is about doubling down on what you love,” says frontman Zac Carper. “For us, its about playing shows and making music. Coming back after a few years away, our intention was to self-make an album that the 3 of us are stoked on. We’re very very very pumped on it and what’s to come. These songs are meant to be heard live with the fellow FIDIOTS going off.”
“We picked these two songs to lead off the record because it represents the energy we pull off live, he adds about “FIX ME” and “GET OFF MY WAVE.” “It’s all about the sad moshpit. And having Sosie agree to be part of the video was just awesome. We did karaoke with her on her birthday and she killed it. When we came up with the idea, she was the only choice. She’s perfect.”
Starting out as a group of drunken punks playing gnarly house shows around Los Angeles with songs like “Cheap Beer” and “Wake Bake Skate”, the light speed rocket that was their self-titled album blasted them into the stratosphere in the early 2010s. They responded with 2015’s TOO before refining and expanding their sound with 2019’s ALMOST FREE – their last full-length album prior to SURVIVING THE DREAM.
Are you a FIDIOT? How are you feeling about FIDLAR’s two offerings, “FIX ME” and “GET OFF MY WAVE”?
