David Byrne and Devo have unveiled the contribution to Noise for Now Vol. 2, an abortion access and reproductive rights benefit compilation landing everywhere on June 21st.
The song, “Empire,” was originally written by Byrne and Devo for Byrne’s collaboration-heavy 1997 solo album, Feelings. Two different collaborations came from those sessions — “Wicked Little Doll,” which ended up making the album, and “Empire,” which they’ve now unearthed for the Noise for Now comp.
With marching drums, regal horns, and a military-esque flair, Byrne and Devo satirize the American capitalist empire. Though there is a majestic air to the song, beneath the bright hues are some more sinister tones. “The strong alone will survive,” Byrne sings, less a promise and more a harrowing threat. Stream “Empire” below.
“‘Empire’ is an ironic capitalist fascist anthem and, at the time, I thought our version was just too mean and caustic for release,” Byrne said in a press release.

Finding the coven in Paris should have been a positive experience for Claudia, who'd longed to find others like her in a world of mortals.
But Parisian coven life was far from rainbows and butterflies.
Interview with the Vampire Season 2 Episode 4 saw her slowly disillusioned with her new role at the theater, pushing her further away from them and toward a mortal with whom she found a connection.
It's been a fascinating and overwhelming sad affair thus far for Claudia, played this season by Delainey Hayles, who's a revelation as the intelligent and deliciously complex vampire.
Hayles brings warmth and passion to Claudia, who slowly feels excluded from the coven and her place in it as the performances pile up and the infantilization reaches new heights.
It was a pleasure chatting with Hayles, who was gracious and kind in her responses.

Fighter Enjoys Higher Viewership Than Dunki & Salaar In Its Opening Week(Photo Credit –Facebook)
Hrithik Roshan’s Fighter, after its theatrical run has ended, is making noise on the Ott platform. The film was touted to be a big money spinner at the box office, and though it did reasonably well, it wasn’t up to the mark considering the scale and cost. Thankfully, it is now reaching more audiences on the small screen, and in fact, it has defeated Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki and Prabhas’ Salaar with its debut numbers.
Hrithik & Siddharth Anand’s combo failed this time!
Before this aerial action drama, Hrithik and director Siddharth Anand worked together for Bang Bang and War. Both films were highly successful at the box office and enjoyed a good theatrical run. This time, to give a much better experience to the viewers, a much bigger budget was spent, and...

There isn’t much movement this week at the top of the charts. Drake is number-one for the fourth week on the Billboard 200 albums chart with “Scorpion.” And he’s number-one for the third straight week on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart dated August 4 with the viral “In My Feelings.” But can Post Malone overtake him anytime soon? He climbs into the top five with “Better Now” from his latest album “Beerbongs and Bentleys.” Watch the video above to see who else made the top 10.
It might be hard for Post Malone — or anyone for that matter — to deal with Drake’s “Feelings.” Not only is it the top song in the country, it has posted the two biggest streaming weeks for any song in history. This week alone it logged 106.2 million on-demand listens, which is down 8% from the previous week when it broke the record.
