The Linda Lindas Dance in a Kaleidoscope of Color in ‘Don't Think' Video
The Linda Lindas have released a music video for 'Don't Think,' a technicolor-tinged video with lyrics that critique the pressure of conforming to societal norms. The Kiki Banta and Marlowe Taylor-directed clip was filmed over two weekends in the backyard and home of one of the bandmates.
'This video was really fun because we got to work with filmmaking friends who are also our age,' drummer Mila de la Garza said in a statement. She added that the video they released was the directing duo's first draft. ''Don't Think' is about being lost in identities, and Kiki and Marlowe's video reflects that with all these different surreal elements.'

'Don't Think' appears on the Linda Lindas sophomore album, No Obligation, which the band — guitarists Bela Salazar and Lucia de la Garza, bassist-pianist Eloise Wong, and drummer Mila de la Garza — wrote and recorded during scheduled school breaks and weekends. The LP draws inspiration from Sleater-Kinney, Jawbreaker, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Paramore, with one single, 'Lose Yourself,' reminiscent of 'Green Day by way of Blondie,' per Rolling Stone's review of the album.
The Linda Lindas embark on their tour in support of No Obligation on Thursday in Berkeley. Their tour includes stops in Portland, Oregon, Vancouver, Salt Lake City, Chicago, Nashville, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Brooklyn, Boston, Montreal, and other North American cities. It concludes on April 26 in Toronto. Special guests throughout the trek include Be Your Own Pet and Pinkshift.
'Don't Think' follows No Obligation's previously released singles 'Too Many Things,' 'Resolution/Revolution,' 'All in My Head,' 'Yo Me Estreso,' 'No Obligation,' and 'Nothing Would Change.'
