The Linda Lindas have returned with their second new single of 2023, “Resolution/Revolution.” Stream the song below.
A spirited punk tune scored by a retro, guitar-led arrangement, “Resolution/Revolution” pays homage to the teen band’s influences. “Bela [Salazar, guitar] had been rocking out to a lot of Pantera and Judas Priest when we started writing ‘Resolution/Revolution,’” the band said in a statement. “She came in with a riff and as we worked together, it morphed into a composition.”
As for the song’s theme, lyrics like “We’re so small/ But we stand tall/ Right the wrongs/ And sing along” make it clear that teen punks are manifesting some positive change, and presenting it in an encouraging package to boot. “[The song is] about making small dents in big problems to make a difference in the long run,” they explained. “We’ve been playing the song live for a few weeks now,...

The Linda Lindas have arrived at, or for one member are rapidly approaching, the age where every new teenage development feels like the most important moment of their lives. Last year, the four-piece new wave band — made up of Bela Salazar, 18; Eloise Wong, 15; Lucia de la Garza, 16; and Mila de la Garza, 12 — released and toured their debut album Growing Up. Now, they’re a few weeks away from hitting the stage at Coachella. On their latest single “Too Many Things,” the Linda Lindas take stock of their rapidly changing world.

The members of the Linda Lindas casually refer to it as “The ‘Racist, Sexist Boy’ Thing” — the performance at the Los Angeles Public Library in May 2021 when the band unleashed a blazing punk anthem inspired by a prejudiced schoolmate that turned into a whirlwind of newfound fame.
A video of the four young, talented Asian and Latinx girls stomping through the tune and belting its fed-up lyrics (“You are a racist, sexist boy/And you have racist, sexist joys/We rebuild what you destroy …”) went super-viral and catapulted them from L.

As they sing about trying to find the best words as they speak up for themselves, the fun-filled video features group members Bela Salazar, 16, Eloise Wong, 13, Lucia de la Garza, 14, and Mila de la Garza, 10 as they take school pictures in color-coordinated outfits before rocking out on a stage.
