Summary

Episode 163 - Zac Carper has seen some shit. As frontman of party punkers FIDLAR, he's battled heroin addiction and repressed memories of sexual abuse, but has continually turned heads and surprised people with a unique brand of slacker street punk with an odd appeal in the mainstream. With a brand new 3rd LP out featuring some of their best songs, and a (mostly) sober path forward, what's next for FIDLAR? Shane and Zac talk about his abnormal upbringing in Hawaii, his surprising love for technology in music production, his battle with substance abuse, and his unique and honest approach to songwriting.
