The Linda Lindas have returned with their second new single of 2023, “Resolution/Revolution.” Stream the song below.
A spirited punk tune scored by a retro, guitar-led arrangement, “Resolution/Revolution” pays homage to the teen band’s influences. “Bela [Salazar, guitar] had been rocking out to a lot of Pantera and Judas Priest when we started writing ‘Resolution/Revolution,’” the band said in a statement. “She came in with a riff and as we worked together, it morphed into a composition.”
As for the song’s theme, lyrics like “We’re so small/ But we stand tall/ Right the wrongs/ And sing along” make it clear that teen punks are manifesting some positive change, and presenting it in an encouraging package to boot. “[The song is] about making small dents in big problems to make a difference in the long run,” they explained. “We’ve been playing the song live for a few weeks now,...

Viral darlings The Linda Lindas appeared on The Tonight Show Monday, delivering a raucous, high-octane performance of “Oh!,” the 2021 single that marked the band’s first official release on Epitaph Records.
Featuring lead vocal duties from guitarist Bela Salazar, the track — which appears on the Los Angeles band’s first full-length album, Growing Up — details the type of anxiety-riddled inner monologue that runs through the head of most teenagers. “Why do I say something/Say anything at all,” Salazar belts. “It seems that when I try/I always take the fall.

The members of the Linda Lindas casually refer to it as “The ‘Racist, Sexist Boy’ Thing” — the performance at the Los Angeles Public Library in May 2021 when the band unleashed a blazing punk anthem inspired by a prejudiced schoolmate that turned into a whirlwind of newfound fame.
A video of the four young, talented Asian and Latinx girls stomping through the tune and belting its fed-up lyrics (“You are a racist, sexist boy/And you have racist, sexist joys/We rebuild what you destroy …”) went super-viral and catapulted them from L.

It started with a bang, the sound of metal crashing down on the sidewalks of Washington, D.C. as hundreds of Trumpers stormed the Capitol. It continued into another pandemic year; for every two steps we took forward with vaccines and testing, we were knocked back one by variants and those who valued personal freedom over societal health. We went further into the internet, the metaverse, the cryptosphere — remember a time before NFTs? — and came out the other side feeling perhaps a little less connected to our humanity.
