Surf-punk icons Fidlar have returned with the announcement of their first new studio album in five years entitled Surviving The Dream which is slated to arrive on September 20. The band has also released the first two singles from the offering called “Get Off My Wave” and “Fix Me.”

Speaking on the inspiration behind the newest album, frontman Zac Carper commented, “This record is about doubling down on what you love. For us, its about playing shows and making music. Coming back after a few years away, our intention was to self-make an album that the 3 of us are stoked on. We’re very very very pumped on it and what’s to come. These songs are meant to be heard live with the fellow FIDIOTS going off.”

The record was self-produced and recorded in East LA which offered an independent space for the band to harness their DIY roots, enabling them to create something that is both dynamic and self-reflective. The trio has also announced a new headlining tour of North America which is slated to begin on September 23 in Santa Cruz, California at The Catalyst and close out with a show in Los Angeles, California at The Bellwether on October 31. Additionally, the band is slated to set sail on Flogging Molly’s Salty Dog Cruise which is taking place early next year from February 17 through February 25.
