Four kids who once played matinees in Chinatown are now labelmates with Green Day. Los Angeles’ punk quartet The Linda Lindas—sisters Mila and Lucia de la Garza, their cousin Eloise Wong, and family friend Bela Salazar—have signed with Reprise/Warner Records, home to some of the artists they cite as heroes.
The group got its start playing kids’ cover sets before forming their own garage punk outfit, eventually sharing stages with riot grrrl icons, punk mainstays, and even opening for The Rolling Stones. A viral 2021 L.A. library performance introduced them to a global audience, and two acclaimed albums later—2022’s Growing Up and 2024’s No Obligation—they’ve become one of the most closely watched young bands in rock.
For the band, the new label deal came together on their own terms. “We were working really hard on new music before knowing what label it would be released on, and so I think we felt secure knowing that everything we did creatively on this album would be ours,” says Lucia. “The whole team at Reprise/Warner were all interested in the music we were working on and what we had to say!”
Mila agrees that the fit felt right from the start. “Everyone at Reprise/Warner has been super welcoming and warm towards us, and super excited about the music, which is what’s important!” Wong adds a bit of star-struck excitement to the mix: “It’s also unbelievable to be on the same label as bands I love like The Muffs, The Replacements, L7, and Green Day!”
The signing arrives alongside a new single, “Burning Out,” written during a songwriting retreat in Palm Springs last summer—a trip the band says pushed them to slow down and focus. Lucia recalls the track coming together quickly once they sat with the demo. “Bela brought in the drum loop and chords and vibe and it all just stemmed from there,” she says. Mila has her own theory about where that inspiration came from: “I believe that not only did Bela bring the chords, she heard them in a dream. Which is pretty rad.” Wong remembers laying down a bass part before stepping away to cook dinner—and coming back to a finished song. “When I had finished cooking, they had completed the song, lyrics and everything. Impressive!”
