No Obligation, the second full-length release from The Linda Lindas further advances their unironic, joyful, and exciting trajectory of mashing up L.A. punk with post punk, garage rock, power pop, new wave and rock en español. Written and recorded by the band during spring breaks, winter breaks, and long weekends (Lucia and bassist Eloise Wong are still in high school, drummer Mila de la Garza just finished middle school, and Bela Salazar is patiently waiting for them to get done with it already), the new album has been in the works for the last two years whenever they weren’t at school or touring. “I don’t got no obligation,” roars Eloise in the opening, title track of the album - “just brush off all expectation.” From the first moment of their sophomore release it is clear that The Linda Lindas are here to defy expectations and challenge norms.
British metalcore giants Architects announce their awaited new studio album, ‘The Sky, The Earth & All Between,’ will release February 28, 2025 via Epitaph Records. This will be the band's 11th studio album, with “Whiplash” delivering an intense fusion of power and stadium-swaying melody, offering a tantalizing preview of what’s to come from ‘The Sky, The Earth & All Between’ in the New Year. The band revealed the first single from the album, “Seeing Red” last December and second single, “Curse” in April this year. Both songs collectively amassed over 70 million streams to date. Since their last studio album in 2022, the critically acclaimed ‘the classic symptoms of a broken spirit’, the band have continued their stratospheric rise, establishing themselves as one of the most important rock bands to emerge from the UK. They have spent the last 12 months touring extensively, most notably as one of the personally chosen support acts on the Metallica tour as well as appearances at Louder Than Life, AfterShock, Mayhem, Download and a headline slot at Bloodstock Festival. They have also just announced a handful of dates in support of Linkin Park next Summer.
