Song:Cheap Beer
Album:FIDLAR
FIDLAR is a skatepunk band that is probably closer to hard core punk than other skatepunk bands. Their 2012 debut album FIDLAR appeared on Billboard's Heatseekers chart. They will never have mainstream success but they have a solid fanbase. FIDLAR are from Los Angeles and they come by their skatepunk roots authentically. Guitarist Elvis Kuehn and his drummer brother Max Kuehn are the sons of pianist Greg Kuehn of the 80s punk band T.S.O.L. He has had a long career in film and TV music composition and he still is a member of T.S.O.L. Lead singer Zac Carper is the son of famed surfboard designer John Carper. He's into the skateboard scene. Carper and Elvis Kuehn were working at a recording studio. They started recording together when the studio was empty and they posted the songs online. Eventually they formed FIDLAR with Max Kuehn and Carper's friend Brandon Schwartzel on bass. FIDLAR is an acronym for Fuck It Dog Life's A Risk which is a skateboard expression. After releasing a 2011 EP, FIDLAR signed with the indie label Mom + Pop for the 2013 album FIDLAR. After Pitchfork previewed the album, TIME, The Huffington Post and Stereogum named FIDLAR as one of the most anticipated albums of 2013. The album reached #5 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart. Cheap Beer is probably the most popular song from the album. You may have heard Cheap Beer in the 2014 film Neighnors, the CW TV series iZombie, the skateboard film True or the online auto racing game The Crew. They have released three albums. The latest Almost Free was released in 2019. On that album they worked with producer Ricky Reed who is attempting to give them a more diverse sound. But they need to be careful not to alienate their fans, Here's the video for Cheap Beer by FIDLAR.
