The young punk band and their emo foremother are connected in more ways than one<\/p>\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 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<\/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 \t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n \n\tSo, it\u2019s no wonder that Williams seemed to be having the time of her life with them. She was energetic and all over the place on their stage, singing and swinging her mic, and seemingly beaming with pride in the young women. They found time to make a TikTok<\/a> together in London, too, showing off their stage outfits. <\/p>\n \n\tBoth parties are busy: the Linda Lindas<\/a> have a swath of tour dates<\/a> across Europe and the U.S. through September, while Williams just dropped 17 new solo songs<\/a> a few weeks ago (Paramore\u2019s Zac Farro also released a solo effort<\/a> in July) and a music video for one, \u201cGlum<\/a>,\u201d earlier this week. \u201cEgo Death At The Bachelorette Party<\/a>\u201d got a video this month, too.<\/p>\n \t
