#Growing up macklemore video picture full#
I was really, really nostalgic and sentimental about all the times that we had, because I didn't realize how much the band meant to me until it wasn't really in full swing anymore. We were all apart from each other, and I didn't want to grow up in a way, and I realized you can't make growing up happen. I felt like I was supposed to know what I want to do with my life. Lucia: “It was hard being at home and feeling at this age that I had to figure out who I was. I wasn't really sure what to do and I was kind of angry at stuff. The neighbors didn't like it, but it's okay.”Įloise Wong: “There was a situation at school where I tried to help someone who was being bullied, but then it kind of just blew up in my face. Lucia de la Garza: “We had amps inside and we had cords running out the screen door to Bela and Eloise on opposite sides of the porch. Mila de la Garza: “‘Oh!’ was actually written all together on our front porch.” Here, the band takes us inside every song on the album. (They released a self-titled EP in 2020.) Written and rehearsed almost entirely through Zoom while all of its members-Mila and her sister Lucia, their cousin Eloise Wong, and Bela Salazar-were also feeling their way through the chaos of high school and middle school from home, Growing Up is a set of blistering, deeply felt pop-punk that meets the moment head on, whether they’re grappling with solitude (“Why”), self-care (“Remember”), spirals of thought (“Talking to Myself”), or disgruntled house cats (“Nino”). While most teenagers spent the pandemic fumbling through remote school and social isolation, The Linda Lindas seized the opportunity to record their debut album.
“We've been around for three years, and it's not just that we had one viral moment then we were going to go away.” “In a way, I felt like we kind of had something to prove, to show for ourselves that we're actual musicians,” Mila tells Apple Music. The song quickly went viral, creating an audience for The Linda Lindas before they’d ever had a chance to launch a proper tour.

The video opens on a dated nursing home focusing on the mundane tasks of each resident. Roberts’ character is at the center of a great escape. The video, starring Eric Roberts ( King of the Gypsies, Runaway Train, The Dark Knight) has the feel of a short film. I jumped at the opportunity to collaborate with him and craft a story that felt both personal and universal to pair with this epic anthem.” Vincent Peone
“Ian is the ultimate small town success story, not to mention a wonderful human being. Having grown up in the same upstate New York town, the duo relished the opportunity to work together. According to a recent press release, the video was directed by Vincent Peone and captures Flanigan’s vision of “feeling young no matter what age you are”. Shelton took him under his wing and is featured on vocals on “Grow Up”.įast forward to today and the release of his new music video.

Flanigan has been touring the country for the better part of the past decade.
