Fidlar – Too

Fidlar Too is the second full-length from Los Angeles punk four-piece FIDLAR, released in 2015 on Mom & Pop Records, and it marks a noticeable step forward from the raw, blown-out energy of their debut into something sharper and more varied without losing the core aggression that built their following.

Who FIDLAR Are and Why TOO Matters

FIDLAR earned their reputation the hard way, building a genuinely devoted audience through relentless touring and a debut record that captured a specific kind of loud, cheap, fast Los Angeles punk rock with almost no filter applied. By the time TOO arrived, the band had momentum and a fanbase that cared deeply about what came next. This second record met that moment with more sonic range, tighter songwriting, and a willingness to push into different textures while keeping the attitude intact. It is the kind of sophomore record that holds up because it was made by a band with something to prove rather than a band coasting on early praise.

The Fidlar Too Vinyl Pressing

This copy is the standard LP pressing on Mom & Pop Records, catalog number MP 228, from the original 2015 release. Mom & Pop is a respected independent label with a solid track record for their physical releases, and this one is no exception. The format is a straightforward full-length LP, which is exactly the right way to hear a record like this. Loud punk rock on vinyl has a presence and immediacy that a digital stream simply does not replicate. The low end hits differently, the distortion has more body, and the dynamics between the quieter and louder moments read more clearly through a needle in a groove.

Why This Copy Deserves a Place in Your Collection

Original pressings of mid-2010s indie punk records on physical media are increasingly difficult to track down in solid condition, particularly titles from smaller independent labels where initial runs were not enormous. FIDLAR built a catalog that their fans return to regularly, which means copies that surface are often well played. A clean original press of TOO on Mom & Pop is the kind of thing that quietly becomes harder to find over time. If you already own the debut and have been waiting to complete the run, this is the copy. If you are coming to FIDLAR fresh, TOO is a complete and considered record from a band firing with real intent, and hearing it on vinyl is the right introduction.
