Fidlar are back. The band has announced fall 2023 tour dates in the US and Europe, and shared a new single, “Nudge.” Check out the song and their full list of upcoming dates below, and grab your tickets here.
“Nudge” begins with an understated arrangement, as frontman Zac Carper relays stories about receiving “nudges,” one from a judge, and another from his “chick,” who informs him that he’s making her “sick.” At this point, the guitar riff that’s anchored the song thus far bursts open, and the band lays down a thrashy interlude worthy of a good ol’ fashion mosh pit.
Bringing the arrangement back down, Carper tells of receiving one more “nudge,” this time from his friends in the form of an intervention, to which he offers the same response he had offered in the previous two stories: “Well, excuse me, officers.” After that, the energy kicks into a high gear again,...

That’s Life, the new Fidlar EP coming March 17th, was conceived in the throws of a Lake Powell Dmt ceremony, and the band’s latest single, “Centipede,” captures that energy with violently ecstatic guitar paired with skin-crawling epiphanies.
The skate punk trio’s last studio project was the 2019 album Almost Free, and they began to conceive That’s Life on a 2020 trip through the southwest that featured lots of hiking, sun, and psychedelics. Frontman Zac Carper composed the first draft of lyrics while tripping on Dimethyltryptamine, and so far that session has yielded the two-minute adrenaline rush “Fsu,” as well as “Sand on the Beach,” and “Taste the Money,” all of which appear on the EP.
“Centipede” is another straight-up ripper, though once your lizard brain lets you take a breath, your frontal lobe might chuckle at the lyrics. “My girlfriend thinks I’ll abandon her,” Carper sings, “She’s my Oasis,...

Fidlar rail against a politically fractured, headline-obsessed, technology-riddled United States in their explosive new song “Too Real.”
Throughout the clattering track, the indie-punk band call out government corruption, smartphones and Edm. “I’m sick of being in this stupid place/ I’m sick of being a part of someone’s database,” shouts frontman Zac Carper over a gnarly, bluesy riff. “And all the bullshit bands that are on the charts/ Yeah, motherfuckers, you know who you are/ Let’s pretend that Edm didn’t happen at all/ And the politics are why you drink alcohol.
