Did I mention that they played a sold-out show at the Troubadour and are touring with Jawbreaker this spring? Or that they’ve released a collaboration with Opening Ceremony after Humberto Leon reached out on Instagram and then directed one of their music videos? All before the age of 18!
They’ve earned praise from the likes of Sleater-Kinney’s Carrie Brownstein, too. And that they’ve already opened for the legendary Bikini Kill and later covered the band’s “Rebel Girl” when they were featured in Amy Poehler’s film Moxie. Not to mention the fact that they first played live together in a performance arranged by Dum Dum Girls’s Kristin Kontrol. (The track was inspired by an encounter Mila had with a boy who said his father told him to stay away from Chinese people, and then backed away from her when she revealed she is Chinese.) With book-lined shelves behind them, they shredded on their guitars and growled on their mics, dressed in their pop-punk finest as they confronted the nameless bully.īut their cool factor doesn’t end there: It’s also in their riot grrrl energy and sound and colossal levels of confidence. It’s been evident ever since the group went viral last May for their explosive performance of the hit “Racist, Sexist Boy” at the L.A. There’s no other way to say it: The Linda Lindas are cool as hell. They are The Linda Lindas, an L.A.-based punk band composed of 11-year-old Mila de la Garza (drums), her 14-year-old sister Lucia de la Garza (guitar), their 13-year-old cousin Eloise Wong (bass), and their longtime family friend, 17-year-old Bela Salazar (guitar).

Seated in twosomes in front of a computer screen, they reminisce about reading The Baby-Sitters Club at their grandma’s house they share their boba tea orders they discuss book recommendations and avoiding delinquency status at the local library. One is wearing a graphic tee emblazoned with “PUNK,” one is in striped pants, another’s wearing layered bracelets and has platinum blonde streaked hair, and the fourth is donning a color-block cardigan. On a recent Monday morning-during a day off from school-four tween- and teenage girls gather on Zoom with.
