If It's Too Loud...

Photo by Jessie Cowan The Linda Lindas have been moving away from the raw punk of "Stupid Racist Boy" and towards a more pop sound with the singles off their upcoming album. That is, until the release of "No Obligation." This new song is their most punk song yet, with Eloise Wong adopting a guttural growl on the verses. The chorus turns a little more pop, with gang vocals taking over and adding a slight harmony to the song. There are even some Dead Kennedys-esque guitars throughout "No Obligation." This one is going to make even the most die hard classic Epitaph Records fans satisfied. The Linda Lindas say of their latest single: “Eloise wrote this ripper because we won’t adhere to what anyone else thinks we should sound like or who they think we are. We don’t make music out of obligation— we make music out of love. And we’re so grateful for all of the opportunities music has given us, like going to Japan and making this video with a team including Naoko f...

Photo by Jessie Cowan The Linda Lindas continue to grow their sound at an incredible rate. Their latest single, "Yo Me Estreso," is a punked up version of corridos tumbados, and the result is amazing. You'd never know that this was the same band that went viral with "Racist, Sexist Boy" just two years ago. While we (and everyone) loved the original sound of The Linda Lindas, their sound has grown so quickly and impressively that we can't help but love the quartet even more. Plus, "Yo Me Estreso" features "Weird Al" Yankovic on accordion, and who doesn't want to hear The Linda Lindas and "Weird Al" playing music together?  Bela Salazar says of the band's latest single: “ ‘Yo Me Estreso’ is a song about always being stressed, always being anxious and thinking that people are mad at you when they really aren't.  It was inspired by listening to a lot of corridos tumbados, banda and Duranguense and doing that in our own p...

Photo by Jessie Cowan Everyone's favorite viral sensation indie rock/punk band The Linda Lindas are back with new music. "All In My Head" might be the most poppy thing the quartet have released to date. It's much more along the lines of guitar heavy indie pop, and is kind of a cross of Alvvays and the poppier side of Mannequin Pussy. It's an infectious and fun track that, if we have any complaint, may be a little too much of an earworm. "All In My Head" is such a sonic delight that it's guaranteed to not leave your subconscious for days to come. Lucia de la Garza says of her band's latest single: “I wrote ‘All In My Head,’ from the perspective of a book character, which kinda brought us out of our comfort zone.  It felt like a break from reality, which we don’t usually find ourselves writing about.” You can watch the video for "All In My Head" below. No Obligation is due out October 11 on Epitaph Records, and is available for pre-order ...
