Peque?as Lindas Mentirosas

In the two years since their debut, The Linda Lindas—whose members, as of 2024, are ages 14 to 20—have opened for the Rolling Stones and Green Day, collaborated with members of Bikini Kill, and played both Coachella the the Scripps National Spelling Bee (the first band to ever do so). The word phenomenon does not seem like an overstatement. They've also grown as songwriters and musicians, with the three singers clearly finding their own paths. You hear it right away with bassist Eloise Wong absolutely howling on thrash monster "No Obligation": "You'd like me better if I grew out my hair/ You'd like me better if I wasn't a mess/ You'd like me better if I put on a dress."

A product of generations of underground music in L.A. and beyond, The Linda Lindas’ debut, Growing Up, channels classic punk, post punk, power pop, new wave, and other surprises into timelessly catchy and cool songs sung by all four members—each with her own style and energy.
