Los Angeles punk band The Linda Lindas have announced their second full-length release, No Obligation, which will be out on October 11 via Epitaph. Today, they share the lead track, “All In My Head,” with a video directed by James Wyatt. Find the video, No Obligation’s tracklist and cover art, and the band’s tour dates below. Lucia de la Garza of The Linda Lindas wrote and sings “All In My Head.” She had this to say in a press release: “It has the most indie vibes we’ve leaned into so far because it was written on an acoustic guitar. Recording it was really fun, full of lots of dancing in the studio. I wrote ‘All In My Head’ from the perspective of a book character, which kinda brought us out of our comfort zone.”

Inspired by the book My Year of Rest And Relaxation, she continues: “It felt like a break from reality, which we don’t usually find ourselves writing about.”

Age ranging from 13 to 19 in the band, Lucia de la Garza and bassist Eloise Wong are still in high school; drummer Mila de la Garza just finished middle school, and Bela Salazar is the eldest, waiting for the rest to catch up. No Obligation was written and recorded during band members’ spring and winter breaks and long weekends.

Check out our 2022 interview with the band here.

No Obligation follows the release of The Linda Linda’s debut album Growing Up, which was featured on our Top 100 Albums of 2022 list.
