The Linda Lindas release “Yo Me Estreso,” the track is off their new LP, No Obligation, available October 11th via Epitaph. The song and video feature the legendary “Weird Al” Yankovic on guest accordion.

“”Yo Me Estreso” is a song about always being stressed, always being anxious and thinking that people are mad at you when they really aren’t,” explains Bela Salazar. “It was inspired by listening to a lot of corridos tumbados, banda and Duranguense and doing that in our own punk style.”

No Obligation, is the band’s second LP Written and recorded during spring breaks, winter breaks, and long weekends (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 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.

Quote about the song from Bela Salazar in Spanish:

“”Yo Me Estreso” es una canción muy personal. Ya que trata sobre mi propio estrés, mi ansiedad y sobrepensar en escenarios en donde creo que la gente está molesta conmigo. Para esta canción, decidí inspirarme en corridos tumbados, banda y duranguense, pero siempre dándole nuestro estilo “Linda Linda” de punk.
