FIDLAR: When guitars are given to idiots, idiots can rock

And you though punk was dead...check out these So Cal skatepunkers, who sing about all kinds of important stuff, like getting drunk, high, skateboarding and being broke. I know I know, it sound cliched, but this quartet of early 20 somethings have made it work. For fans of the Germs, and of course Minor Threat, mixed with a bit Steve Cabellero's band, The Faction. Just off a successful tour with the Hives, they are heading to France and the UK this December and download the decent free EP here.  Who knew singing about getting fucked up could be so much fun?  Lastly, it's gone now but they had an awesome hostage spoof video, 2 guys in masks with a "victim" holding a newspaper, kneeling in front of them, while they shouted "We want beer!"  Awesome for being tasteless, I mean.
