Paramore have announced their return with a cover as part of a Talking Heads tribute album after wiping their social media clean.Last month, the trio – comprised of Hayley Williams, guitarist Taylor York and drummer Zac Farro – took down all posts and images from social media pagess, while their official website displayed a 404 error message.

This came after the band voiced a “level of uncertainty” about their future, following the completion of their ‘This Is Why’ tour and recently-fulfilled obligations to their label.Further speculation about the band came last week, when it was announced that they would be pulling out of their headline performance at the ALTer Ego Festival, before it was reported that Paramore are gearing up for a new era and a fresh record deal.Now, the trio have jumped into activity again.

Returning to Instagram today (January 10) Paramore have shared a teaser for their cover of Talking Heads’ ‘Burning Down The House’ taken from an upcoming tribute album.The clip shows frontwoman Hayley Williams collect a package that was delivered to her house.

Upon opening it, she finds Talking Heads frontman David Byrne‘s iconic oversized suit which he wore in ‘Stop Making Sense’, the band’s concert film.Williams then pulls a tape out from the top of a boombox and turns to her bandmates to say: “I’ve got a tape I’d like to play you,” the same thing that Byrne says while introducing the song ‘Burning Down The House’ in the concert movie.
