The Linda Lindas sign to Reprise/Warner Records, share new single “Burning Out”

“Burning Out” arrives as the band’s first music since their 2024 LP No Obligation, and according to vocalist-guitarist Lucia de la Garza, it was shaped by the peculiar, in-between feeling of finishing high school while watching friends prepare to leave. “I was feeling very surrounded by change,” she says. “We went on a week-long writing retreat in Palm Springs less than a month after graduation, and that’s where we wrote this song about feeling like the world is passing you by.”

The track itself pushes their boppy, fun blend of punk, power pop, and garage rock into slightly more polished territory. The video, shot by Castiel, captures the band in characteristically direct, low-lit performance mode. Check it out below.

The Linda Lindas - de la Garza, her sister Mila de la Garza, cousin Eloise Wong, and Bela Salazar - first formed in 2018 through the Girlschool LA all-ages scene, playing Chinatown matinees alongside old-school LA punks before going on to open for Bikini Kill, Green Day, and Paramore. A viral performance of “Racist, Sexist, Boy” at the LA Public Library in 2021 brought wider attention, and they went on to release two albums for Epitaph: Growing Up (2022) and No Obligation (2024).

While the new label deal is something of a gear shift, the group’s ethos remains the same: all four members write and take lead vocals, and the songs continue to juggle personal growing pains. The Bleachers shows begin in September, with dates in Berkeley, Tacoma, and Bend, alongside an October appearance at Tom Morello’s Power To The People Festival in Maryland.
