Oct 22, 2024The Linda Lindas have plenty of original ideas and express them vigorously rather than relying on nostalgia to carry their messages forth.
-
Oct 17, 2024The invigorated No Obligation is a breath of fresh air, a reminder that punk can be fun and pure without losing its impact or message. The Linda Lindas give us all hope that the kids will be alright.
-
Oct 11, 2024Rather than a pastiche of styles, No Obligation displays the depth of the Linda Lindas’ developing musical skill, capable of channelling their infectious enthusiasm beyond virality into a long-lasting career.

-
Oct 10, 2024No Obligation documents the result of resilience and hard work, and makes for a listen that’s enjoyable regardless of musical preference or taste.
-
Oct 10, 2024It’s an exhilarating punk album with the intention of mobilising those who listen to it. There’s rage, sadness, delight and bitterness within every sound and syllable, and from within that cocktail of feelings is a charged devotion to creating change.
