Summer Bucket List

What do rock stars even do in the summer? On the heels of their new single "SAD KIDS", and gearing up for their upcoming album "SURVIVING THE DREAM," FIDLAR lead Zac Carper gives us the scoop on his summer bucket list.

As summer winds down, most of us are scrambling to tick off those final bucket list items. But what if you’re Zac Carper, the unapologetically wild lead singer of the punk rock band FIDLAR? For a rockstar like Zac, the end of summer involves single releases (listen to FIDLAR’s latest single, “SAD KIDS” below), tour planning, demos, pet rats, and a whole lot more we’d never think of.


FIDLAR has made a name for themselves with their reckless abandon, so it’s safe to say their idea of a summer send-off is anything but ordinary, which is why we asked Zac to share his summer bucket list below.
