The Linda Lindas caught everyone’s ear this year with the to-the-point track “Racist, Sexist Boy,” an instant punk classic due to its unfortunate relatability and its punchy energy. The four-piece has opened for both Alice Bagg and Bikini Kill, and has released their self-titled debut EP. Since then, The Linda Lindas haven’t stopped putting out excellent songs. Today, they share the new single “Nino,” which is about a badass cat.
Inspired by band member Bela’s cat, the new single follows their other cat ode, “Monica,” that was written for Bela’s Siamese cat. According to the band, “If you listen carefully there is a real-life, remarkably talented cat named Lil Dude playing piano on it. (We have the footage!)” I wish I had cats worthy of their own songs, or rather a cat in general…
