The Linda Lindas, the young punk quartet who have already achieved significant success before turning 21, spoke to Rock Sound about their new album 'GOTTA GET OUT'. In the interview, members Lucia and Mila de la Garza, Eloise Wong and Bela Salazar discuss how the record was shaped by feelings of life moving too fast and of being stuck while friends pursued different paths, such as going to college after high school graduation.

The band explained the songs explore themes of stagnation contrasted with excitement about performing live, drawing particularly on lessons learned while supporting Green Day on tour, including sets alongside Rancid and Smashing Pumpkins. They described how playing short, high-energy sets to unfamiliar crowds taught them to give full effort regardless of audience size, an ethos they say carried through into the making of the new album, which aims to create a sense of participation and energy for listeners.
