NO OBLIGATION
North American Tour 2025
January 12, 2025 by Holly Jones
All-female, alt-rock-power punk band from Los Angeles, The Linda Lindas have a busy year ahead after 2024 put them on the global map.
After forming in 2018, The Linda Lindas blew up almost immediately with their smash hit, “Racist, Sexist Boy” in 2021.
The song opened the eyes and ears of fans worldwide, and industry leaders and music critics alike started to pay attention.
The past 12 months were a mash of epic performances at a mid-sized and smaller haunts, and then the biggest stages on the planet.
When I say big, I mean BIG! Last year saw them open for The Rolling Stones Hackney Diamonds Tour at SoFi Stadium, and Green Day on last year’s Saviors tour.
Oh yeah, they also played KROQ’s Almost Acoustic Christmas, and we got to see them do the late night thing with Kimmel and Fallon. What is most impressive is that these ladies are still in their teens (ok, except for one of them).
What impressed me was their contribution to “Everyone’s Getting Involved: Stop Making Sense – A Tribute Album to The Talking Heads.” Their delivery of “Found a Job,” was beyond coolest defined. That is just one of a thousand things that makes this band very-very special.
The ladies have impressed everyone who has seen them live – fans, fellow musicians, industry critics, and little ole’ me.
The band features Bela Salazar (lead guitar), Eloise Wong (bass), and sisters Lucia (guitar) and Mila de la Garza (drums). What’s incredibly unique and equally impressive about this band is that each of these ladies take turns with vocals.
Last October their second studio album, “No Obligation,” was released, and their single, “All in My Head,” launched them into the power-pop-punk-rock stratosphere!
They are getting mad radio love from alternative radio stations throughout the planet, and only one word describes this band, according to OC Music News Editor in Chief, Jimmy Alvarez – that word is “LEGIT!”
The year ahead has a national tour that has them hitting all the prime spots from coast-to-coast. The tour will come back to SoCal on April 1st at The Glass House in Pomona, then on April 5th they will play at The Novo in Los Angeles. Be Your Own Pet will provide support for both SoCal shows.
If you want to see a band that is on trajectory to be legends before they turn 25, this is the band to check out, so you can say you saw them before they conquered the world.
