This punk group formed in Los Angeles in 2018. They're named after the movie "Linda Linda Linda", and the song "Linda Linda", by The Blue Hearts. In 2021, a live performance of their song "Racist, Sexist Boy" went viral, which is how I first heard of them. A version of that song is included on their first album, "Growing Up".

Growing Up

This is the band's first full-length studio album, released in 2022. I had a review of it, but that was lost when my old site stopped working, so I'll have to do it again sometime. I have no idea when that might happen. But suffice to say, I liked the album a lot.

No Obligation

This is the band's second album, released in 2024.

1. "No Obligation": This one rocks pretty hard, and sounds very hardcore punk. I could barely make out any of the lyrics while listening to it, but I liked it anyway.

2. "All in My Head": This one's more pop-punk. Kind of sad lyrics, but with an upbeat sound. I like it.

3. "Lose Yourself": This I'd say is more pop-rock. I like it.

4. "Too Many Things": This is just rock, and it's really cool.

5. "Once Upon a Time": I think this one's about being angry, which isn't an uncommon theme in these songs. It's good.

6. "Yo Me Estreso": I really don't know what this is about, because it's in Spanish. But I still like it.

7. "Cartographers": This is some relatively upbeat pop-rock.

8. "Don't Think": This is some fun pop-rock.

9. "Resolution/Revolution": This one... has a sound I don't know how to describe. A bit goth or something, maybe. But it's definitely cool.

10. "Nothing Would Change": This is fairly peppy and fun and like nostalgic for youth, in the best way.

11. "Excuse Me": This is back to being more punk than rock. Which is cool.

12. "Stop": This one really shreds.

The liner notes have lyrics, but I can't really focus on both reading them and listening to the songs at the same time. And reading them doesn't help me understand the point of the songs, anyway. But they all sound really cool. I had seen music videos for several of these songs before I got the CD, but I probably only watched each of them once or twice. So listening to the CD, I didn't specifically remember any of them. I'd like to think I could find some of these songs more memorable if I listened to them repeatedly. Which I probably won't do, because I hardly ever listen to CDs anymore, except to review them. But that doesn't change the fact that I really like all the songs. Overall, I think the first album was more important to me than this one, but I'm not sure I could say one is actually better than the other.
