The young punk band and their emo foremother are connected in more ways than one<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n\tIn a moment of punk synergy, Hayley Williams<\/a> joined young rockers the Linda Lindas<\/a> for a performance of their breakout smash \u201cRacist, Sexist Boy<\/a>\u201d at London\u2019s O2 Academy Islington on Thursday night.<\/p>\n \n\tWilliams has made a lot of music over the years \u2014 both as the front-woman of Paramore<\/a> and on her own. Her brand of pop-rock can get real funky, dip into R&B, and channel Afropop icons like the Lijadu Sisters<\/a>. But if you\u2019ve been around for a while, you know she was pretty punk from the start, releasing the band\u2019s angsty debut All We Know Is Falling<\/em> when she was just 16 years old. Similarly, when the Linda Linda\u2019s went viral in Covid-era 2021 for performing \u201cRacist, Sexist Boy\u201d at their local library, the four girls were between the ages of about 10 and 16 years old. To make matters cooler, per Stereogum<\/em><\/a>, two of the members, Mila de la Garza and Lucia de la Garza, are actually daughters of record producer Carlos de la Garza, who worked on some of Paramore\u2019s more recent albums.<\/p>\n
