Despite FIDLAR’s charges, Reddit users assert that the band members are innocent, which caused the band’s Twitter account to be suspended.
The American punk and garage band FIDLAR was started by Zac Carper and Elvis Kuehn in Los Angeles. At the recording studio where they first met, Zac was a sound engineer, and Elvis was an intern. They started producing music when the studio was empty and uploaded their creations online.
Three years after creating their first song together, the Atlanta-based duo shared a stage with another well-known garage rock band for their first public performance. They later started a tour with the Swedish band The Hives. They played on a number of stages and locations before they became well-known.
One of Stereogum’s 40 Best New Bands of 2012 was the group’s debut EP, DIYDUI, which was released in 2011. They also appeared on Last Call with Carson Daly in October of the same year.

FIDLAR Charges: What Happened?
One of the bands that was the focus of allegations connected to the assault culture at Burger Records in 2020 was FIDLAR.
They were among the bands that year that were discontinued. Everything started with the Burger Records affair, in which the record label was charged with promoting a culture of physical assault through its concerts and several of the bands it signed were accused of physical abuse by numerous women. FIDLAR was also signed to Burger Records at the time the complaints were made against the label.
A number of bands signed to Burger Records, including SWMRS, The Growlers, The Buttertones, Part Time, Mystic Braves, and Cosmonauts among others, have reportedly been accused of similar mistreatment, according to the label’s Wikipedia page. However, FIDLAR was never formally charged.
Online users have reportedly accused the band of physically abusing fans and other women, according to Twitter user @kiramartinsucks, even though there isn’t much information on the band now available. She emphasized that despite the fact that many bands have a rich history, FIDLAR occasionally receives criticism for absurd reasons such as deleting their Instagram account.
Similar to this, Reddit users were unable to find any support for the band’s detractors’ claims. A Reddit member looked online for an explanation for the cancellation of FIDLAR, but other users claimed that there was no actual reason for it and that Twitter users and internet users generally were being silly and creating statements without any evidence to back them up.
