Oh, and FIDLAR's [...]

words by GENEVIEVE OLIVER "Cheap Beer" In interviews, the four Los Angeles guys behind FIDLAR often have to repeatedly insist that they actually do work really hard on their music. It’s easy to assume otherwise when the first track on their first record is called “Cheap Beer” and the second, “Stoked and Broke,” is a paean to getting wasted and skateboarding, with the key lyric, shouted in frontman Zac Carper’s customary hoarse yowl, “there’s nothing wrong with living like this / all my friends are pieces [...]

• FIDLAR - Cheap Beer

Garage punk four-piece Meat Market swings through San Francisco on Friday night, marking the second stop in a week-long tour of California alongside cohorts FIDLAR and Pangea . Originally formed in Santa Cruz while the band members attended college, the group pools a diverse set of musical interests, ranging from punk and garage to blues and old-school surf, into its sound. The result is a deftly combined mix of gritty garage rock tunes and sun-bleached melodies that calls to mind groups [...]

• Viva Indie Rock 23 - Viva Indie Rock #43

Earlier this week Pitchfork's new ¡ADVANCE! feature offered Toro Y Moi's "Anything In Return" for full stream a week before its release. This is kind of an awesome change of pace from that album. I think Lloyd & I (weird MJF contingent) have kept FIDLAR to ourselves until now. Our bad! This is our first FIDLAR post, but they've got a lot of cool videos and I'm told their live sets are wicked (note to self: make effort to leave the house more). [...]

Aparecendo no segundo semestre do ano passado, os californianos do  FIDLAR são uma das bandas mais promissoras deste ano. Para confirmar o sucesso que prometem, os meninos lançam seu primeiro álbum, FIDLAR , no próximo dia 22, mas você já pode ouvi-lo via stream aqui .

Os americanos foram apontados pela NME uma das 20 bandas mais promissoras de 2013 em uma recente lista divulgada pela publicação. Vamos ficar de olho em mais uma [...]

Next week, the scrappy, knotty, fired-up California punk-rockers FIDLAR drop their self-titled debut album. In this space, we've posted their blitzkrieg hookfests " Cheap Beer ," " White On White ," and " Gimme Something ," and the rest of the short album is pretty much like that: Incredibly fast straight-ahead bangers, delivered with a hedonistic abandon that the Black Lips would recognize. Listen to it at Pitchfork . FIDLAR is out 1/22 on Mom + Pop .

Este 2013 aún sigue en pañales y aún es tiempo de predecir cuáles serán los sonidos que lo definirán o que serán construidos durante los siguientes 12 meses.

Abajo les compartimos una breve explicación y enseguida dejamos el conteo. Ya saben, pueden entrar a www.7boom.mx para modificar esta lista a su gusto. [...]

Totally Extinct Enormous Dinosaurs took on the Foals single "My Number" with this electro remix. Barely resembling the original track which debuted on Jools Holland , the remix pulls in the hook from the original about halfway through. While the sound is divergent, it still captures the brooding moodiness the Foals are known for. Listen below. [ Stereogum ] Blood Orange gives us this cover of "Cyan" by Kindness . Capturing both glistening and angsty vocals, Hynes said [...]

• Tegan and Sara - I Was A Fool

Take a shot every time you hear a drug reference.

We've been listening to FIDLAR for a few months now, and we're hooked on the skate punks' carefree, raucous brand of "slacker rock." Hell, we like these kids so much that we've even dubbed them as one of the acts to watch for in 2013 . The L.A. band's self-titled debut record won't be available until next week, but luckily, Pitchfork is currently offering a full stream of the album. So crack open a beer, head over to Pitchfork Advance , and listen to FIDLAR in its entirety. [...]
