The Linda Lindas Sign to Reprise and Share Something That Feels Like Growing Up
The Linda Lindas have signed to Reprise/Warner Records, and the first thing they’ve shared under that banner is a song about the world passing you by. That’s a very Linda Lindas move. “Burning Out” was written during a week-long writing retreat in Palm Springs less than a month after Lucia de la Garza graduated high school — friends scattering to college, everything in motion, nostalgia arriving before the moment was even over. The video was directed by Nathan Castiel.
The band put out their second album No Obligation in 2024 to wide critical praise, continuing their trajectory of mixing LA punk, post-punk, garage rock, power pop, new wave, and rock en español into something joyful and completely their own. “Burning Out” feels simultaneously new and nostalgic — which, given where it came from, makes perfect sense.
The Linda Lindas head out this fall supporting Bleachers on the West Coast, plus a stop at Tom Morello’s Power to the People Festival in Maryland. Tickets are available now at thelindalindas.com.
