They say that punk bands are in their prime when they’re still young, crass, and defiantly apathetic. So it makes sense that FIDLAR isn’t really preocuppied at the moment with tax deductions or college for that matter – their vicious garage anthems are all about existing in the now, being politically incorrect with a purpose and, you know, having some unabashed fun on a Friday night. In fact, for a band that seems so "misguided" by instant gratification, their emblematic acronoym (Fuck it Dog, Life’s a Risk) speaks to anyone who simply wants to prevail against any form of resistance. "Wait for the Man" comes and goes in barely two minutes with an exhilirating barrage of sloppy chords and hoarse harmonies. And considering how infectituously catchy it is, I have a feeling they’ve been doing their homework even if the dean wouldn’t approve. Before making a potentially epic appearance at the Echo on September 11th, they’ll be playing an all ages show at Timewarp Music tonight at 8 pm.
