Unapologetic and raw, L.A.-based punk rock quartet The Linda Lindas really know how to capture the restlessness of growing up in uncertain times on their third studio album, Gotta Get Out. The title track and album opener, “Gotta Get Out,” aptly showcase the themes of the record with urgency and vulnerability.
The group is not afraid to sing about tough subjects including fascism on “Blood in Our Hands” and climate change on “Nothing Left.” The choice to highlight bassist Eloise Wong’s deep husky screamo-like vocals and aggressive guitar riffs on some of these tracks helps hone in on the energy. The group’s unfiltered songwriting is refreshing and a lot of fun to listen to.
