Linda From Work, railing against the 9-to-5 lifestyle, exploded onto the Seattle rock scene in the summer of 2018. Led by Hillary Tusick on vocals/guitar and featuring Sam Nowak on drums and Mary Robins on bass, the band has a forceful garage rock sound with a strong ear for hooks. Drawing comparisons to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Heavens to Betsy, and Veruca Salt, Linda From Work is known for enthralling performances featuring their powerful yet intimate vocals and energetic instrumentals.
Produced by Seattle rock legend Jack Endino, Linda From Work's fierce debut LP "Burnout" speaks to the feelings of being stretched too thin and ground under the heel of corporate pressure - you can feel the exhaustion, rage, and anxiety in Tusick's delivery. With "Burnout", Linda From Work has developed a sound built both lyrically and sonically on the fiery sincerity of someone who’s reached their limit and is desperate for freedom. "Burnout" has been featured on the Seattle Times’ Critic’s Ballots for Best Local Albums of 2021 and Martin Douglas of KEXP writes, "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."
