What a time to be alive.
Linda From Work’s self-titled record builds on themes from their previous works to push their songwriting and musicianship higher than ever before. A soundtrack for the modern fever dream, this new music shows Linda From Work with a more confident and driven sound, seizing power with defiant spirit. There’s a certain freedom that comes with refusing to break your own rules and that’s the undercurrent throughout each track. With their self-titled third LP, Linda From Work has defined and refined what exactly makes their signature sound - a fierce, high energy blend of rock edge and melodic sensibility that’s angry, fun, and most of all, honest.

BIO
Linda From Work is a fierce rock band hailing from Seattle, led by Hillary Tusick (vocals/guitar) and featuring Elliott Gregory (guitar), Shayla Riday (bass) & Sam Nowak (drums). Meeting at the intersection of garage, glam and dance-punk, Linda From Work has crafted a high-energy sound built on powerhouse vocals and driving melodies that can only be described as rock and roll, baby!
With a defiant and forceful spirit, Linda From Work’s sophomore album The Night Is Short delivers an emotional rock spectrum of bold vocal melodies punctuated with driving guitars and an energetic backbeat. Steeped in feelings of righteous anger, inescapable anxiety, and deep longing, The Night Is Short is a cathartic display of the moments long after the sun sets. Martin Douglas of KEXP writes “‘Jealous” is easily one of the best rock songs to come out of Seattle this year, and frontwoman Hillary Tusick remains virtually unchallenged as one of the city’s best rock singers.”
Linda From Work has received airplay both locally and abroad, including on the globally known KEXP, and has shared a stage with the likes of Everclear, A Giant Dog, TsuShiMaMiRe, The Pink Spiders, Daiistar, Spoon Benders, Sgt. Papers, Forty Feet Tall, Shaina Shepherd, and Pink Fuzz. They have been seen performing at SXSW, Bumbershoot, Treefort Music Fest, Capitol Hill Block Party, Freakout Festival and Offbeat Music Festival.

PRESS
“For me, one of the breakout Seattle albums of 2021 was Linda from Work’s debut LP “Burnout”. And what did the quartet do with all that promise? Well, they topped themselves. “The Night is Short” is full of clever and affecting meditations on patriarchal dread (“Father, May I?”), ego (um, “Ego”), and insatiable ambition (“The World”). “Jealous” is easily one of the best rock songs to come out of Seattle this year, and frontwoman Hillary Tusick remains virtually unchallenged as one of the city’s best rock singers. “
-Martin Douglas, KEXP
“A palpable coolness emanates from Linda From Work's 2021 album Burnout. It's the kind of nonchalant no-fucks-given energy that grows bolder the more you listen, with the band's minimalist garage rock songs perfectly riding the line between angrily calling out life's bullshit and casually shrugging it off and moving on. [Hillary Tusick] sings […] with a confident swagger, but she's not angry … She's just letting you know how it is, whether you like it or not, and as the world continues to get louder and angrier, there's admirable power in seeing someone stand their ground without losing their cool.”
-Megan Seling, The Stranger
“You can do garage rock however you want, but there’s one rule: you gotta be cool. And Linda from Work, fronted by singer/guitarist Hillary Tusick, is seriously cool. She and her bandmates (Elliott Gregory, Shayla Riday, and Sam Nowak) toss dance punk and glam into the mix, and the resulting concoction has made them one of Seattle’s must-see live bands.”
- Rob Moura, Wash Magazine for Sonic Guild
"'There’s something about the unassuming coworker who reveals their immense charms in a happenstance encounter. This is the assuredly unintended metaphor for garage-pop trio Linda from Work—who have suffered their fair share of workplace metaphors since forming in 2018—taking a well-worn format and infusing it with a pretty enormous sense of personality … their debut LP “Burnout” fully displays their gifts as an emergent force in Seattle’s ever-crowded rock scene, ruminating on failed relationships and a pernicious lack of healthy sleeping habits… In addition to her talent for singing, Tusick also possesses a sly gift for lyricism, best displayed on “No” (a single from last year very wisely included here) and its dynamite central lyric: ‘What doesn’t kill me better run.’ “
