Ever since Fidlar formed in 2009, the band has been on the fast track and toured with popular garage rock acts such as the Hives and the Black Lips. Its self-titled album isn't particularly sophisticated. Opening tune "Cheap Beer" features fuzzy guitars and parched vocals. To an extent, it's a novelty tune along the same lines as the Dead Milkmen's "Bitchin' Camaro." Rave-ups such as "White and White" and "No Waves" show a bit more finesse. But these songs are designed to create some serious mosh pit action, and they regularly become sing-a-longs at the shows. (Niesel)
