Fidlar Band Release Music Video For New Single “Sand on The Beach”
FIDLAR band made a comeback with their new single, FSU Last August. Now, FIDLAR is back in the craze with another new single titled Sand On The Beach. This single was released on October 14, 2022.
Sand On The Beach is taken from the American punk trio’s latest EP and is slated for release in early 2023. They have leaked material from their upcoming mini album. FIDLAR have previously said that their new material leans towards the extremes, getting tougher and tougher. Their new material will be both more interesting and more annoying. The lyrics are so well thought out, they claim that the lyrics, “speak to the FIDIOT of the world.”
FIDLAR’s last album, Almost Free, was released in 2019 before they seemed to have disappeared into the Earth. Through this song—and previous singles—it’s heard that the sensation of speed from their music also catches up with them.
The single Sand On The Beach is the material that has been eagerly awaited as well as what many of its fans are expecting. Like Blink-182’s latest single, Edging, which launched this year after a 10-year absence. Of note though… Sand On The Beach’s single showcases their most unabashed FIDLAR moment since their 2013 self-titled debut!
In August 2022, the punk and garage rock unit from Los Angeles returned with the single FSU. This song is a follow-up to their 2019 album, Almost Free. On this fierce song, vocalist Zac Carper sings: “I’ve been waking up, getting so fucked up / I’m so fucked up, trying to fuck shit up.”
The track features the FIDLAR band working with Grammy Award-winning producer Dave Sardy, whose credits include LCD Soundsystem and Red Hot Chili Peppers. This FSU single was also released along with a music video directed by Ryan Baxley.
Speaking to Consequence, vocalist Zac Carper said, “Like, we can’t get all Radiohead on everyone, you know what I’m saying? This is a mind-mouth song. It’s about getting screwed; It’s about chaos.”
After several years of being cooped up during the pandemic, they had the experience of witnessing a group of people misusing musical instruments in their playing. However, maybe that’s the kind of song that many people need during a pandemic.
After considering many things because of the past pandemic situation, they have also prepared several things that will become their targets going forward. As a result, they also thought that they had lost all words and replaced them with the word “damn!” played for three minutes. That is the material in their latest single.
For Zac Carper, that’s the hope. He brought FIDLAR back to being weirder than ever, dumber than ever, and completely obliterating concert venues near you. He fully embraces his “lizard brain” impulses and prioritizes getting raucous above anything else.
In the vocalist’s words to Consequence, “FIDLAR always had this thing where, whatever we do, we can put out a bad album or put out a bad song, but we can play it live and it’s going to explode. And it will if it’s at a festival or at Del Taco. Like, wherever we play, it’s going to explode.”
They are ready to drop the charade and just make a scene. To do so, he looks to a new generation of aggressive musicians, those who seem to have unlocked the secrets of the lizard brain before him.
FIDLAR Band is the band’s name which is actually an acronym for “Fuck It Dog, Life’s a Risk”—a skate charm acquired from singer Zac Carper’s former roommate. The band consists of Zac Carper (lead vocals, guitar, keyboards), Brandon Schwartzel (bass, backing vocals), and Max Kuehn (drums, percussion).
Initially, the FIDLAR band used the name “Fuck The Clock”, as referenced in their song Cheap Beer. To date, the band has released three studio albums: FIDLAR (2013), Too (2015), and Almost Free (2019). The band is mostly known for its short, fast songs related to parties and drugs.
In an effort to keep the sunny and sandy beach vibe going, the band also announced a California tour for February 2023. They will tour several states in the United States at once starting October 28, 2022, starting from Boston, New York, Washington D.C., Santa Cruz, Sacramento, San Luis Obispo, San Diego, and Ventura, until closing on February 25, 2023, in Orange County, California.
