Have you ever hummed the theme song to Hawaii Five-O and thought, “Man, I wish someone would start screaming over this”? Do you sometimes listen to Weezer and find yourself thinking, “Mmm, this is good but I wish these darn lyrics weren’t so deep and metaphorical”? (Sample Weezer lyric: “I’ve got an electric guitar / I play my stupid songs / I write these stupid words / And I love every one).
You should check out the LA surf-punk band FIDLAR.
“FIDLAR?” you ask. “As in, ‘fidlar on the roof?’”
No, no. In this case, FIDLAR is an acronym, which stands for Fuck It Dog, Life’s A Risk (a phrase made popular by skateboarders in FIDLAR’s hometown).
