The Linda Lindas

Growing Up

By any measure, it’s remarkable. A record that doesn’t just hold its own amongst peers, but barges past them with unerring confidence, The Linda Lindas are proof that rock’s old boys’ club’s time is up.

A record that reaches across the generational divide through both its mastery of sound and the universality of its stories.

With every moment of unflinching social commentary, the Linda Lindas let listeners in to the smouldering embers of youthful promise we all have before the weight of the world eventually crushes our spirit. For as wide as their appeal could be, their eyes are open wider.

There’s nothing new on offer here by way of sonic innovation, but that matters little. The Linda Lindas know what they are – energetic, enthusiastic and effortlessly cool – and the confidence with which these 10 tracks are delivered is proof this is just the beginning.

The Linda Lindas show incredible potential on Growing Up, whilst also holding together an extremely individual and established sound.

Growing Up ... while uneven, is a propulsive statement of intent from some of Gen-Z’s most convincing spokespeople.

Growing Up is a heartwarming opening salvo that recharges the punk spirit for a new generation while recognizing, as they sing on the endearing title track, that "there's still a little more growing up" to do.

If they’d respected the source material, then Growing Up could’ve been the sloppy, fun power-pop record that nature intended it to be.

Growing Up is an open window into their youthful outlook on modern life and everything they face going forward.
