Fidlar: Honest, Clean, Original
If you have listened to FIDLAR’s albums, Fidlar and Too, you see what they represent: at first you’re in the heat of the party, burning in the prime of your youth. But then, before you know it, you’re nursing your hangover in rehab. For their frontman, Zac Carper, these two albums have been exactly that. Around the time of the first album’s release, Carper had been smoking crack with kids at shows and injecting heroin. Now, Carper is a year and a half sober. He’s stopped going to the after-parties, and he doesn’t even smoke weed anymore. It’s interesting to hear about his habits and how he has made such a polar shift. But what is really interesting is his honesty. Apart from the conversation he had with SLUG, Carper has opened up to blogs from Vice to Stereogum about past life and drug habits. My biggest question was, why is he so honest with the media?
