INsiders Guide: ‘Artist Of The Week: The Linda Lindas, Teen Rockers Fire Back At Anti-Asian Comments

Teen rock band The Linda Lindas went viral this week when they performed a song they wrote about racist, sexist boys.

“Song of the day!,” Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello proclaimed on Twitter.

The Linda Lindas are a quartet made up of Mila, 10, Eloise, 13, Lucia, 14, and Bela, 16, who describe themselves as embodying the spirit of original punk. When Bikini Kill reunited for a string of shows in 2019, they handpicked The Linda Lindas to open for one of their sets at the Hollywood Palladium.

To celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, the Los Angeles Public Library recently hosted a concert, The Linda Lindas took center stage with their song about anti-Asian discrimination titled “Racist Sexist Boy.”

“A little while before we went into lockdown, a boy in my class came up to me and said that his dad told him to stay away from Chinese people. After I told him that I was Chinese, he backed away from me,” Mila, the band’s 10-year-old drummer and singer, said to introduce the song. “Eloise and I wrote this song based on that experience.”
