FIDLAR's 'Too' Out Today On Mom+Pop

 

FIDLAR'S TOO OUT TODAY ON MOM+POP

"The new record doesn't scrimp when it comes to giant hooks or appropriately buzzed-out guitars, but it does add an extra layer to finesse to the band's reliably scrappy songs." Stereogum
 
"Los Angeles punk crew hit a sweet spot between hedonism and poignancy on a multi-layered second album" - NME
 
"An even more brutally honest FIDLAR, like the same word written with a thicker pen and darker ink." 
Noisey
 
"Hefty helpings of both undeniable hooks and rip-roaring gusto."
 - Consequence of Sound
 
"FIDLAR's brash, abrasive and boastful version of punk rock finds full from with the band's sophomore LP, Too. " - Substream
 
"Ups the ante on FIDLAR's raucous sound" - Exclaim
 
"FIDLAR's latest, "Too," is a refining and defining moment." - Reverb

LOS ANGELES, CA - SEPTEMBER 4, 2015 - FIDLAR's much-anticipated second album Too is available today on Mom+Pop. To purchase the album now click HERE .
 
In celebration of the album's release FIDLAR will participate in a tumblr IRL tonight at The Well in Downtown Los Angeles (1006 S. Olive St) at 7:00 PM. The event will feature visual art by the band's longtime collaborator Ryan Baxley as well as Zoe Zag, who illustrated the band's album artwork, and Alice Baxley. There will also be video projections, screen-printing, various on-site activations, and a very special surprise sure to please hometown FIDLAR fans. 

 
Produced by Jay Joyce,  Too, was recorded in Nashville over the span of just two weeks. The 12-song collection of pop-infused garage rock expands on the band's 2013 self-titled album that put them at the forefront of modern punk music. The new album showcases a band that continues to fine-tune its sonic approach while also highlighting a more introspective and revelatory approach to songwriting. It also marks the first time the band has worked with a producer.
 
Following appearances on the main stage of Reading and Leeds, FIDLAR will kick off an extensive headlining U.S. tour in Denver, CO on September 9th that wraps on Halloween for a two-night hometown stand at the Regent Theater. In November the band will embark on a European tour including a headlining date at London's historic Forum. Tickets for all dates are on-sale now and the band will continue to tour the world throughout 2016. See below for a complete list of upcoming dates.
