Thanks so much for taking the time to check out our music!! We hope you enjoy :) Keep checking back for new show dates and other updates :) Also, make sure to check out our blog for a daily update on what's happenin with the band! Love you all and hope all is well!


Hailing from the small town, Menomonie, WI, Linden is constantly moving forward to fulfill their goals. The gameplan: A long career introducing catchy, fresh and familiar tunes to audiences of numerous demographics.
The band began with sisters Kara and Casi Carlson establishing themselves with the recording of their debut EP, "The Future Is..." with producer Jordan Schmidt (All Time Low, Jamestown Story, The Morning Light). Upon the EP's completion the duo immediately began searching for band members to fill out the sound. Through endless auditions and member tryouts the final line-up was vested in late spring of 2008. Plucked from various parts of the nation, bassist Steven Keller (WI), guitarist Aaron Wesselman (VA), and drummer Billy Toti (HI) drew end to the search. Kara Carlson stated, "We definitely took our time with the auditions, we wanted to make sure that these were people we could literally spend the rest of our lives with. Not only do we click as musicians, but we have become family".
Upon completion of the line-up, the band immediately clicked and proceeds to practice and write new material every day to ensure genuine, full songs to their audience with every release and live performance.
Linden strives to put on a fun, and professional sounding live show. Drawing from influences such as Jimmy Eat World, and The Rocket Summer, The band loves to keep the audience involved encouraging fans to sing and clap along. With songs like, "Attached", the crowd will leave each show humming their melodies. They also make a point to establish a strong relationship with their fans, inviting people to hang out after the show.
With a widespread and consistently growing fanbase, the future is bright for this family of musicians. When asked what his favorite part of being in Linden was, Steven Keller said, "I think my favorite part of being in this band is waking up every day knowing that I am a part of something real that people appreciate. Everyone in this band is equally and genuinelly dedicated to fulfilling our goals, and I think that shines through in all aspects of the music". Keep your eyes and ears open for the future of this hard working, pop sensation, Linden.
