The Linda Lindas

The Linda Lindas are a punk rock band from Los Angeles. The all-girl group comprises Bela Salazar, Eloise Wong, Lucia de la Garza, and Mila de la Garza, who identify as Asian-American and Latinx. Taking its name from the 2005 Japanese film Linda Linda Linda, (or the Blue Hearts song "Linda Linda" that the film is named after) the band formed in January 2018 as a pickup band of "inexperienced kids" for Kristin Kontrol's performance at Girlschool LA. By fall, they were playing Save Music in Chinatown matinee gigs alongside artists such as Phranc, the Dils, the Gears, and the Alley Cats, and other shows with bands such as Best Coast, Alice Bag, and Bleached. They wrote a song for the Netflix documentary The Claudia Kishi Club. After Amy Poehler watched the Linda Lindas open for Bikini Kill on April 26, 2019, at the Hollywood Palladium, she had them record songs for her film Moxie. On May 22, 2021, Epitaph Records announced that it had signed the Linda Lindas.
