Record Store Day 2024 is Saturday (4/20), and ahead of it, this year’s ambassadors, Paramore, have shared David Byrne‘s new cover of their After Laughter track “Hard Times” on streaming services. It’ll be out on side B of a limited 12″ for RSD, with side A featuring Paramore’s cover of “Burning Down the House” from the upcoming Talking Heads tribute album. Hear both songs below.

When his cover was announced, Byrne wrote, “Paramore recorded an amazing version of ‘Burning Down The House’ for a Stop Making Sense covers album that A24 is doing in connection with the re-release of the film. That song is out now. The band told me that their song ‘Hard Times’ was inspired by Talking Heads, so I learned it and recorded my version of their great song with a horn section. This was fun!”

We spoke with Paramore about Byrne, becoming an independent band for the first time in their nearly-20-year career, their love for vinyl, and more for the cover store of the new edition of the free BrooklynVegan digital magazine.
