The Linda Lindas open up about growing up and speaking out on Gotta Get Out
In a new Kerrang! interview, the California punks discuss their latest album and jamming with Hayley Williams, who has known them since they were kids.
The Linda Lindas have spoken to Kerrang! about the new chapter of their career, built around the album Gotta Get Out. In a feature written by James Hingle, the California punk band is presented as a group that has grown up in public and is now using its collective voice more forcefully than at any earlier point.
The heart of the conversation is the value of taking a stand. As the band puts it in the piece, speaking out matters because "other people feel less alone". That position lines up with a catalogue that has leaned on confrontational songwriting since the group's earliest days, when they first broke through to a wider audience.
The interview also highlights a full-circle moment with Hayley Williams. The Paramore singer, who watched The Linda Lindas develop from children into adults, is now jamming alongside them — a connection the magazine frames as the closing of a long loop. The relationship between the two acts stretches back years, and the reunion underlines how far the band has travelled since being labelled newcomers.
Gotta Get Out documents that shift. The full conversation, in which the band unpacks the personal and creative maturing that shaped the record, is available via Kerrang!.
