Linda Lindas the – Gotta Get Out (colour Vinyl)(lp) (Purple Vinyl)

The Linda Lindas’ Gotta Get Out arrives as the Los Angeles quartet’s third album, building on a rise that began with a one-off Girlschool LA performance in 2018 and has carried them onto stages with Paramore. Here, the band channel the restless push of breaking free and figuring out who you are, keeping the shared-vocals, shared-songwriting spirit that has always made them feel like a real group rather than a frontperson project.

What stands out most is how they stretch that formula without losing pace. The fast, hooky mix of classic punk, power pop and Gen-Z grit is still intact, but this time it is widened with synth textures and bigger singalong choruses. That makes songs like the title track, “Burning Out” and “Helado de Limón” feel like part of a broader step forward: sharper, broader in colour, and more ambitious in scope than the band’s earlier work.

That progression matters because The Linda Lindas have been praised well beyond punk circles, with acclaim noted from outlets including Pitchfork, The New York Times and Rolling Stone. Gotta Get Out sounds like a band testing how far their songwriting can travel while holding onto the DIY spark that first made them so easy to root for.
