The Linda Lindas Release ‘Growing Up’.
Written by: Louis Morin
The Linda Lindas spin pop punk anthems for the ages on their highly anticipated debut LP. They have graced the headlines of such major publications as The NME, SPIN, and Pitchfork since their breakthrough single, Racist, Sexist Boy and rightfully so. If career milestones like opening for Bikini Kill, or being featured in Amy Poehler's film Moxie was the band's way of testing the waters, then this album is surely going to make a splash.
Marc Boland of T Rex once said that he found it awfully flattering that fans cared enough about his music to put photos of him up on their walls, and I think the same is true for The Linda Lindas. This album sets in stone that they are truly something to be excited about, for the uninitiated, and long time punk fans alike.
