Surf-rock newcomers Sun Room find energy in chaos on their brisk new single “At Least I Tried,” made with Zac Carper of FIDLAR.
FIDLAR announce that they will release a new EP, “That’s Life,” on March 17. New single “Centipede” definitely does more than crawl.
FIDLAR’s new single “Sand on the Beach” arrives with director Ryan Baxley’s video, a tongue-in-cheek melodrama complete with bad wigs and infidelity. It’s like “Days of Our Lives” on Molly.
FIDLAR is back, profane as ever. “FSU” is the skate-punks’ first single since 2019 and the first taste of an EP due in early 2023. The band headlines the Fonda Theatre on Sept. 8 and 9.
