Fender Presents: The Linda Lindas | Fender

L.A.’s The Linda Lindas are breathing new life into the riot grrrl movement - and we’re here for it. They invited us into their practice space to play some songs and talk punk rock, DIY, and the message behind their viral hit. We’re proud to make a donation in support of the AAPI Community Fund to thank The Linda Lindas for their time.

These girls get it! This is the soul of punk. Teenagers making music just because they want to and they do it well.

[@Bocbo]

The soul of punk wouldn't go anywhere near new fenders.

Good for business too. As long as kids find inspiration to want to get on stage an kick ass with loud guitars Fender will have a market.

[@shanewalton8888]

How incredible it is that the only reason Eloise is the bassist of the group was she was not there on the first day of practice and bass was the only instrument left.

Never Say Never is seriously an awesome song. It would be just as awesome if it wasn't made by kids but it's even more impressive that it was!

[@flfreaks3745]

So happy that riot grrrl is taking ground again on Z gen. The all-girl bands already struggle enough on my millennials gen, with Haim is the only band who can break into mainstream

[@lucamoqi]

Eloise's tone in Racist Sexist Boy is one of the gnarliest, beefiest and greatest bass tones I've ever heard. These girls are going to get big and they deserve it all.

[@boyfromoz7]

Thank god.... the future seems so much hopeful since I discovered this band.

[@ziggyrt]

'Monica" is one of favorite new songs! Gets stuck in head in a good way...

[@gramsci420]

Someone raised these kids right

[@TyTLZacharie]

These girls are amazing. They’re so skilled & talented. It blows my mind but not only that…they all have such a good head on their shoulders. So aware of critical situations & dealing with them so well at a young age. Like they’re my role models & I wish them the best as they grow older. If they’re like this as kids, I can only imagine how that’d be as adults.

[@PaulineKataram]

never say never made my cry so bad. thank you, girls, love 💖✌️

[@jinggaddi]

I really love how Lucia wrote "For worse or for better" instead of the usual "For better or for worse." It shows that despite having feelings of loneliness, there's always hope to lean on.

[@barnaclestval]

These awesome girl's give me hope that the future won't be autotuned cheese.

[@beatnikdede]

Exactly!

[@annemcnally5]

this is a very positive comment but i have to ask-do you judge modern music based on what you hear on the radio ? bc it is so much more than that

[@daniel1138]

They are the latest addition to an ever growing number of young female musicians playing rock music. The Warning from Mexico, three sisters, who started at similar ages some years ago, come to mind. And there are so many all female rock bands in japan, that you can talk about a real „scene“. There will be rock and punk in the future and a large part of it will be female.

[@markrosenquist8259]

Check out starcrawler! Great band

[@whichgodofthousandsmeansno5306]

@@annemcnally5 There is a difference between modern music and pop music. And essentially most pop music is autotuned cheese. Not all, but most. Granted I would not consider these girls as pop or modern it would be refreshing to the industry if they were placed in pop.

[@charlescoleman9278]

As an old white American rocker and punk rocker, I am really thankful to some amazing Asian ladies for restoring my faith and love in hard rock and punk. In the summer of 2017, I stumbled upon Band Maid while falling down that KZbin rabbit hole. I saw the video for "Thrill" and was instantly hooked! I had been convinced I would never be able to get excited about another hard rock band again. Thank you Band Maid. Just a week ago I stumbled upon The Linda Lindas and my mind was blown again! Somewhere, I'm sure Johnny Rotten is smiling! If he's not, I know I am! Thank you so much Mila, Bela, Lucia and Eloise! Keep kickin' ass ladies!! We love you! Punk is far from dead, it's in good hands!

[@Mybestfriendlivesinboston]

I’ve been aware of this band for 3 days now and I’m in love !!! Forever fan automatically 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@fluffyclouds555]

They’ve all captured my heart and Lucia!! Love her voice

[@johnmuse6626]

These girls are out of this world and Mila is just absolutely amazing vocally, it's amazing that she's only 10 years old. No slight on any of the other girls because they are also extremely good. I have Claudia Kishi running through my head at some point every day but Never Say Never and No Clue are my favorites. Majorly impressive that the write these songs too. True artists in every sense of the word. They are all smart, well spoken and just the kind of rockers music needs. I hope they go full Bill and Ted and rule the world someday but if not I'd settle for a Linda Lindas tv show!

[@brittanybutlermusic]

“Monica” reminds me so much of “The Judge’s Daughter” by Green Day. Especially when Bela sings “Drinking soda pop!” @ 2:05. It always makes me think of Billie Joe singing “I think I’m gonna pop!” 🤪 Love it.

[@montycline9840]

You girls keep going that was great. That would be worth Paying to go see. Thank all of you very much you made my day I used to be a punk rocker in the eighties and you guys got it going.

[@whichgodofthousandsmeansno5306]

The more kids do this the more others dream of being on a stage kicking ass with loud guitars. And the more that happens the less chance of rock music ever dying. So lets keep up the good work and support these bands.

@@shatnerhairpeace1897 oh, we have an industry expert! The Monkees were put together for a TV show, they didn't write their hits or play their own instruments on their records.

You're saying they were all selected by someone for the band and just by sheer luck they selected 4 girls that already knew each other? Think how stupid you sound.

I like finding very talented bands at the beginning like this. It's great to watch and hear how their music evolves over time. I think they will go far. They kind of remind of the band Dog Party when they first started. Whether they are really punk or not doesn't really matter. They got the right attitude & energy. They're talented and their music is fun.

[@surrealchemist]

It’s so weird for me seeing them sounding like the kinda bands I listened to when I was their age. Dropping a reference like Mike Watt and stuff… like they must have cool parents or something.
