Teen punk band The Linda Lindas have gone viral with the performance of their song Racist Sexist Boy, which Rage Against the Machine s Tom Morello called the song of the day on Twitter.
The group played a 40-minute set at the Los Angeles Public Library at an event celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, tearing through six original tracks as well as two covers Bikini Kill s Rebel Girl and The Muffs Big Mouth. But it was their own song which garnered the most attention as the four-piece punk troupe, whose ages range from 10 years old to 16, confronted racism and misogyny head-on.
