The Linda Lindas

About

Fueled by riot grrrl energy and a collective age barely scraping 60, The Linda Lindas aren’t just a band; they’re a force. Rising from the DIY scene of Los Angeles, these four Asian American and Latinx musicians—Mila de la Garza, Eloise Wong, Lucia de la Garza, and Bela Salazar—deliver blistering punk anthems that tackle issues ranging from racism and sexism to, yes, cats. Their sound, a potent blend of classic punk rock, riot grrrl ferocity, and a dash of 90s alternative, evokes the raw energy of X crossed with the infectious hooks of the Go-Go's. The quartet’s viral moment, a scorching performance of "Racist, Sexist Boy" at the Los Angeles Public Library, catapulted them into the mainstream spotlight. Signed to Epitaph Records, they released their debut album, "Growing Up," a testament to the challenges and triumphs of adolescence, all delivered with a fierce urgency that resonates across generations. Collaborations with artists like Bikini Kill, along with performances at Coachella and appearances on late-night television, have solidified their place as vital voices in contemporary music. The Linda Lindas continue to tour and write, proving that punk rock is alive and well, and in the hands of a new generation ready to scream, sing, and smash the patriarchy.
