The Linda Lindas have released their blistering new single, “Blood On Our Hands,” a fierce track that delivers unflinching social commentary. The song arrives alongside a live concert performance video directed by Ryan Baxley.
“We’re living in very dark times and it’s really easy to feel hopeless,” says Eloise Wong. “‘Blood On Our Hands’ is about doing what you can, not just on national boycott days and marches, but thinking every day about where your money goes and what you put your money towards, and we have to do our best to support each other.”
The track marks the third single from their upcoming album, GOTTA GET OUT, arriving August 28 via Reprise/Warner Records. It follows “Closer (Feat. Hayley Williams)” and “Burning Out.”
About the Album
GOTTA GET OUT is the sound of The Linda Lindas discovering who they are. After years of building momentum through acclaimed releases, major tours, and a rapidly growing profile, the band set out to break from familiar habits. They retreated to Palm Springs and Long Beach to write together in the same room for the first time. What began as an experiment in collaboration became a creative breakthrough, with unfinished ideas, spontaneous demos, and shared experimentation shaping a collection of songs that feels more intentional, expansive, and personal than anything they’ve made before.
Across the record, The Linda Lindas push the boundaries of their sound through new textures, influences, and songwriting approaches while capturing a desire for change, growth, and escape from old versions of oneself. From intimate reflections on belonging and self-discovery to explosive expressions of frustration, hope, and community, the songs reveal a band unafraid to challenge itself. That spirit extends beyond the music into the album’s visual world and production, both of which embrace imperfection, humanity, and the energy of the creative process.
The result is GOTTA GET OUT: an ambitious, fully realized statement that documents not only where The Linda Lindas are now, but how they got there.

About The Linda Lindas
The Linda Lindas first played together as members of a pickup new wave cover band for Girlschool LA in 2018 and formed their own garage punk group soon after. Sisters Mila de la Garza and Lucia de la Garza, cousin Eloise Wong, and family friend Bela Salazar developed their chops as regulars at all-ages matinees in Chinatown, where they played with original L.A. punks like The Dils, Phranc, and Alley Cats. They went on to open for riot grrrl legends Bikini Kill, Alice Bag, and heavyweights like Green Day, Paramore, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
In 2021, the group went viral with their LA Public Library performance of “Racist, Sexist, Boy,” and the world watched these four musicians scream about injustice, sing about growing up, and exhibit the altruism so meaningful to the punk scene. While their evolution as writers, performers, and studio artists is clear, their ethos remains steadfast. With all four musicians contributing to the writing and lead-singing, the songs are as varied and dynamic as the members themselves, yet the listener always senses the underpinning of their shared worldview and bond.
Their debut album, Growing Up, was released in 2022 to wide critical praise, with The New York Times calling it “a combination of wholesome and fierce” and Pitchfork hailing it as “the most heartwarming record of the year.” Its follow-up, 2024’s No Obligation, was equally hailed by critics. Rolling Stone called it “an inspiring example of rock & roll spirit” filled with “bracingly confident songs full of empathetic rage and precocious wisdom.”
