The Linda Lindas - "Growing Up"

I think Lucia is a star in the making, if she wants to be. She has the writing ability and the voice.

[@mottahead6464]

And she's a great vocalist to boot.

[@artjimenez6530]

What is amazing about the Lindas Lindas is their music draws people from all ages, yet without comprising their edginess. All substance. Pure rock and roll.

[@abark]

What edginess? This is the most generic derivative pop imaginable.

[@mabewa]

I’m another middle aged punk rock person who really appreciates the spirit of this band. I hear the energy of the Ramones, the Dishrags, the Blue Hearts, Bikini Kill, Shonen Knife and Afrirampo here. You kids are helping me get something really cool: punk music will keep regenerating itself long after people my age are dead and gone. It’s a comforting thought!

[@odakyuodakyu6650]

kinda weird how you gotta throw in some 'asian bands' at the end.

[@mabewa]

​@@odakyuodakyu6650 Not sure what your point is. I listed 6 bands, 3 Japanese, 2 American and 1 Canadian. The Linda LIndas really remind me of a lot of punk bands here in Japan, so it's not 'weird' to list those. They named themselves after a Blue Hearts song and they met with Shonen Knife when they were here in Osaka last month, so it's not like this similarity is just something that occurred to me. Kindred spirit bands aren't all from the same countr, you know? I probably should have listed the Taiwanese band Ladybug too, as that's another band that the Linda Lindas really remind me of. Also, I listed the Blue Hearts third of the 6 bands, so they aren't exactly 'at the end.'

[@odakyuodakyu6650]

​@@mabewa you mention Shonen Knife and Afrirampo, completely different sound, however they are female and japanese bands, as always the shallow male gaze will make connections between musican based on gender. of course all japanese now the blue hearts song Linda Linda. we dont consider it punk music here in japan. i think this band is carefully created pop band by record company Epitath. do you know Epitath, in america they created skater rock sound which is pretty boring music and ruined music in the 1990s.

[@mabewa]

@@odakyuodakyu6650 I didn’t say any of those bands *sounded* similar-to my ears, all 6 sound pretty different. I was talking about their energy (and really their spirit as well). I could have listed 20 bands from various countries and various genders, but I wanted to stick to bands that English-speaking people may be familiar with. Rata Negra, Beat Happening, Tacocat, Ladybug, Flop, Bam Bam, the Young Fresh Fellows, Otoboke Beaver, the Fastbacks, Cat Fight (貓打架）Jitterin’ Jinn, and the Go-Go’s also come to mind-those bands sound pretty different from each other too, but they share a similar spirit and energy. I hope it’s not a problem that some of those bands are Asian and many have female members. Or do we have to pretend that punk has always been white and male? As for being female, if I was just thinking of female bands, I wouldn’t have mentioned The Ramones or the Blue Hearts. Not surprisingly, female punk bands tend to have something in common , especially when (in the case of the Linda Lindas with Bikini Kill and Shonen Knife) they have directly influenced each other). For the same reason, I’ve heard male punk bands all over the world that had a lot in common like The Clash. Nothing wrong with being influenced by other bands, as long as you do something original with your sound, as the Linda Lindas certainly are. Would you object to that too, or are we only not allowed to mention female bands having similarities with other female bands? Would you be happier if I only compared the Linda Lindas to male, Western punk bands? And as for the Blue Hearts not being punk, that’s a new one for me. I was introduced to them by my wife in the 90’s and she and everyone else described them as a punk band at the time. I know that they were revered in the then-burgeoning Taiwanese punk scene. Not sure what generation you are, but I have lived in Japan for decades and seen hundreds of punk bands here, and I do not hear people disparage the Blue Hearts. By the way, one thing that is massively refreshing for me about the Japanese punk scene is the lack of gatekeeping and people getting in pointless arguments about what is and isn’t punk. At least, that’s what it’s like here in Osaka, and I hope it stays that way.

[@odakyuodakyu6650]

[@pdoherty926]

I saw the Linda Lindas open for Jawbreaker last week and they killed it. Their energy was infectious and you could tell they were really, really enjoying the moment. I felt like I was witnessing these kids live out their dream and it was an incredible thing to witness.

[@jenniferreyes4168]

They have serious Jawbreaker vibes. Love them.

[@MrMonikerjay]

I'm a huge fan of these girls from the first time I watched the library video. Every song I thought was my favorite as I listened. Then I heard them play this one at the Head in the Clouds festival and thought it was great. I heard it when it debuted the other day and then probably 20 times now and I hear so many uplifting and positive things each time. The chords are really great. The little horn or keyboards in the chorus are such a great touch to make this song really soar. I loved "Oh" and "Monica" but this was has a special place.

[@yharihari]

What do you think about "Never say Never" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYW8p59mjcx7hcU)? 😊 It is also by Lucia. Of course, I love it so much😂. Her songwriting talent is just beyond my imagination.

[@luisfarias2083]

Ya he visto una enorme cantidad de veces este maravilloso video que muestra una gran canción cantada por la linda Lucía y su hermosa voz. Es tremenda la producción del video. Hay en el un gigantesco trabajo que procuro incluir el máximo de detalles para alcanzar el éxito finalmente logrado. A veces lo veo en cámara lenta y disfruto ver a los felinos disfrazados de la linda Bela, linda Mila, linda Eloise, linda Lucia. Muy bueno este aporte musical de las bonitas señoritas de The Linda Lindas. Saludos desde Chile. Febrero 22 de 2022.

Looking this band up in prep for a Green Day concert, they're gonna be a fun opening act. Solid Go-Gos sound with The Donnas mixed in too. They also remind me of White Reaper in the way that their sound feels like it came out longer ago than it did. Lookin forward to more from them.

I have to agree, Michael. There is something about this band that captures the very "essence" of the early punk or indie-rock scene. Even though they are way too young to truly understand how fresh and exciting rock music felt in those days, a band of family and close friends playing music they wrote and clearly love -and playing the heck out of it - is immediately recognizable as the perfect embodiment of what made that bygone era so unforgettable to those of us who lived it. Also, it must be said : Eloise's vocals are punk as fuck on the songs she sings, which offer indisputable proof to anyone who questions these girls' punk-rock chops.
