Another fun one today as The Linda Lindas (https://www.facebook.com/TheLindaLindas) unleash their new single. Currently one of the most talked about new bands around, they're also one of the youngest. Based in Los Angeles they're two sisters, a cousin, and their close friend; 10 year old Mila, Eloise (13), Lucia (14) & Bela (16). Two of them are Asian, two Latinx and they mix up the spirit of punk rock with a healthy dose of both power pop and new wave. They took their name from a 1987 song by Japanese punks The Blue Hearts
I've played a few of their songs on the Just Some Punk Songs show including the excellent Racist, Sexist Boy which they performed a blistering version of at the LA Public Library (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5AhU5Q7vH0) and which seemed to bring them to the attention of a whole new audience. Signing to Epitaph hasn't done them any harm either!

It's called Oh!...
Oh when I say something
I wish I had shut up (oh!)
And when I try to help,
I always screw things up (oh!)
The places that feel right,
They never last too long (oh!)
And when I think of things,
They always turn out wrong
Oh! Oh!
Oh! Oh!
Oh when I say something
Nobody backs me up (oh!)
When I try by myself,
I mess it up (oh!)
Oh when they say something
You always suck it up (oh!)
And when I try to help
It never is enough
Oh! Oh!
Oh! Oh!
What can I do, what can I do?
What can I say, what can I say?
What can I do, what can I do?
Nothing changes it’s all the same
Why do I say something
Say anything at all (oh!)
It seems that when I try
I always take the fall (oh!)
But when I don’t speak up
There’s nothing but regret (oh!)
I can’t stop thinking of
What could’ve happened next
Oh! Oh!
Oh! Oh!
What can I do, what can I do?
What can I say, what can I say?
What can I do, what can I do?
Nothing changes it’s all the same
Oh! Oh!
Oh! Oh!
Oh! Oh!
Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
