Since going viral with their L.A. Public Library performance of their song âRacist, Sexist, Boy,â the world has watched The Linda Lindas scream about injustice, sing about growing up and exhibit the kind of altruism that is so meaningful to the punk scene.
Your Ottawa Bluesfest Featured Artist of the Day is... The Linda Lindas!
The Linda Lindas are set to perform on the RBC Stage on Friday, July 18 at 7:30 PM.
While their evolution as writers, performers and studio geeks is clear on No Obligation, their ethos remain steadfast. The band has released three great album cuts so far, the anxiety-filled "Too Many Things," the scorcher "Revolution / Resolution," and the albumâs addictive lead single "All In My Head". With all four musicians each contributing to the writing and lead-singing, the songs are as varied and dynamic as the girls themselves, however the listener always senses the underpinning of both their shared world-view and their bond. No Obligation, the second full-length album (released on October 11 via Epitaph Records) from The Linda Lindas further advances their unironic, joyful, and exciting trajectory of mashing up L.A. punk with post punk, garage rock, power pop, new wave and rock en espaĂąol. Written and recorded by the band during spring breaks, winterbreaks, and long weekends (Lucia de la Garza and bassist Eloise Wongare still in high school, drummer Mila de la Garza just finished middle school, and Bela Salazaris patiently waiting for them to get done with it already), the new album has been in the works for the last two years whenever they werenât at school or touring. The Linda Lindas most recently shared "No Obligation" - the ferocious title track. "I donât got no obligation," roars Eloise Wongin the albumâs opening song- "just brush off all expectation." From the first moment of their sophomore release, it is clear that The Linda Lindas are here to defy expectations and challenge the norms.
