FIDLAR drop latest album preview ‘SAD KIDS’
Their upcoming LP, ‘SURVIVING THE DREAM’, is their first in five years.

Californian trio FIDLAR are all grown up, and latest effort ‘SAD KIDS’ sees them pair their signature youthful energy with a sense of melancholic nostalgia.
The new single follows recent tracks ‘FIX ME’, ‘GET OFF MY WAVE’, and ‘DOWN N OUT’ - plus last year’s ‘NUDGE’ - to be the fifth song lifted from the band’s upcoming album ‘SURVIVING THE DREAM’, which arrives on 20th September.
“For us, it’s about playing shows and making music”, frontman Zac Carper has said of the new project. “Coming back after a few years away, our intention was to self-make an album that the 3 of us are stoked on. We’re very very very pumped on it and what’s to come. These songs are meant to be heard live with the fellow FIDIOTS going off.”
