Album Capsules--FIDLAR

FIDLAR

FIDLAR

71/100

Fuckin' skaters.  So anyhoo, in January these skaters released an album where they indicate their willingness someday with big-label funding to become the next Blink-182.    Not that their music sounds like Blink-182 now--except for the parts where you can see it trying to get out.  Until that time, they're satisfied to make 2-minute punk anthems about cocaine, lousy beer, and how broke they are.  Which actually turns out to be some fun music.  It would be more fun if they wanted to be the Violent Femmes instead.  Below is "Wake Bake Skate," which turns out not to be about the pressures facing a young Catholic priest in a time when the Church is dying.
