The Linda Lindas – ‘No Obligation’ review: exhilarating punk that will mobilise anyone who listens to it

The Linda Lindas’ second album is a rallying cry against the political conditions and patriarchal powers shaping their experience of young womanhood Where other pop-punk revivalists – like Olivia Rodrigo – might only allude to the political conditions that make this the experience of being a young woman, The Linda Lindas are much more in your face about it, intertwining every experience they write about with the bigger picture.“You don’t owe no demonstration / Who cares about their validation?!” growls the title track of The Linda Lindas’ sophomore album, ‘No Obligation’. The punchy two-minute anthem wastes no time in asserting the band’s staunch political stance: we’re not here to do what you tell us, and as young women, you’ve been telling us a lot.READ MORE: Five things we learned from our In Conversation video chat with The Linda Lindas

The Linda Lindas: Still the Champs of Teenage Punk on Their New Album

A review of the Linda Linda's new album, 'No Obligation' The Linda Lindas broke out in 2021, four teenage/pre-teen rockers making the world a less fallen place with every buzzsaw riff they struck. The band went viral that year with their song “Racist, Sexist Boy,” a grunge-punk scorcher inspired by anti-Asian taunts their drummer had been subjected to on the school playground.“Don’t Think” starts out sounding like an overtired kid after a long day at an amusement park (“Sometimes things that are fun are not fun to me”) and becomes a critique of being forced to conform to society’s expectations: “They told us don’t be basic/They meant be relatable instead.” Getting overly self-conscious might be a problem for a band experiencing success at such a young age, but the Linda Lindas are too smart to fall into any grown-up’s trap, even as they make the bizarre experience of growing up feel like a riot.

My Brief Foray into the World of Guru Jagat

When I practiced Kundalini yoga, I didn’t know the controversial reputation of leaders Yogi Bhajan and Guru Jagat, subject of the documentary ‘Breath of Fire.’ The focus of Breath of Fire is Katie Briggs, aka Guru Jagat, who The Guardian described as the “Elizabeth Holmes of Yoga.” Briggs was raised in Colorado by her mother, who exposed Briggs early on to new-age principals and different styles of spiritual practice.Briggs was a controversial figure, dubbing herself Guru Jagat, and claiming a spiritual heritage from Bhajan that’s up for much debate. She was a sparkling social media personality with a “give no effs” attitude that drew people in. She had the aura of someone who was a genuine good time and could help you have a good time as well.In the years during the pandemic, Guru Jagat began spouting conspiracy theories about chemtrails causing COVID-19 and fell deep into QAnon territory. She was accused of mishandling funds and abusing her employees. In many ways, Briggs followed a similar path of controversy as her predecessor, and that’s what ultimately led to the creation of the documentary.The practice of Kundalini yoga in America is still largely tied to Yogi Bhajan, but there is a growing movement to educate practitioners about the original form and divorce itself from the legacy of leaders like Bhajan and Guru Jagat. The effort seeks to return Kundalini to its spiritual and physical roots, untangling the net created by Bhajan.
