David Byrne To Release Cover Of Paramore’s ‘Hard Times’ For Record Store Day

Former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne is set to release a cover of Paramore‘s “Hard Times” for Record Store Day.

Paramore announced a limited-edition 12″ vinyl for Record Store Day. The exclusive release will feature the pop-punk icons’ cover of Talking Head’s “Burning Down The House” as a B-side.

According to the Alternative Press, the 12″ vinyl will be an “extremely limited run exclusive for Record Store Day in 2024.”

Byrne tweeted, “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!”

Paramore has been announced as Record Store Day Ambassadors for 2024. The band will also be releasing their 2023 “almost” remix album Re: This Is Why on vinyl for the first time ever, on 2LP Ruby + Bone vinyl and single black vinyl.
