Fido was an Australian rock band from Victoria, Australia, although they list themselves as Heavy Pop on their Myspace page. Fido formed in 1999 and have toured around Australia. The first recording took place through one microphone in the middle of Pete's parents lounge room. They would then go onto record their debut EP 'Open 7 Days' with Dave Carr of Rangemaster studios. Following recordings took place with 'Shooter McGavin' in The Basin, where the single "Lost Without You" was created. Fido's one and only album "Something You Should Have" was recorded with Daniel Kelaart at Clique studios in 2008.
Fido were known for their high energy on-stage performances, and have shared the stage with artists such as The Getaway plan, Antiskeptic, Kiss Chasy, Seraphs Coal and Wishful Thinking.

The band have had video clips air on Channel V, Rage and "Video Hits", along with national radio airplay for a cover they did of Delta Goodrem's "Lost Without You".
On 10 August, Fido announced with "much love" that they were "no more".
