THE LINKS began back in the early 2010s playing gigs in the Lafayette/Louisiana area and soon turned to creating their debut album. Fast-forward to 2019/2020, line-up changes and a shift in musical direction established their trajectory for this new chapter. Throughout 2021, the band poured their energy into creating Outside. Musically, the trio draw inspiration from the likes of DEFTONES, RADIOHEAD and SMASHING PUMPKINS, while adding their own psychedelic twist. Over their career THE LINKS have performed at Cajun Dome and have opened for national touring acts DAIKAIJU and RICKSHAW BILLIE’S BURGER PATROL on several occasions.
Their latest full-length, Outside, is perhaps the group’s most cohesive and defining album to date. The album delves into decidedly darker, some might say sinister territory with songs like “Contradiction” and “Calice” to name a few. The album hit streaming/download services and other online stores on October 6th, 2023 and is currently being promoted by the band.
The band itself currently consists of Jack Morrison (ska “J Marola”) on vocals, guitar, keys and additional instrumentation, Grant Gautreaux on bass and Lynden Segura on drums
