Hayley Williams and her Paramore band members have a tape they’d like to play for you. Not long after parting ways with Atlantic Records to become an independent rock band, Paramore is teasing a partnership with A24 to release a 16-track Stop Making Sense tribute album inspired by the life-altering album and concert performance by the Talking Heads. While details remain a mystery, the project teases “16 tracks from 16 artists.”
Paramore is singer Hayley Williams, guitarist Taylor York, and drummer Zac Farro. Recently, the band created a panic among its fanbase when rumors about them breaking up circulated online. The nail-biting occurred when the band removed its website and scrubbed its social media platforms. However, the band has no intention of parting ways—quite the opposite. In addition to announcing the Stop Making Sense tribute album, Paramore will support Taylor Swift on her sold-out Eras arena tour in 2024.

Considered by many critics to be the greatest concert film ever made, Stop Making Sense recently enjoyed its fortieth anniversary, prompting a reissue of the film – directed by the late Jonathan Demme – after a picture and audio restoration that leaves little doubt as to the validity of the claims of the piece being the best concert film of all time.
The concert captured here was shot over three December nights in 1983 at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre and features the core members of The Talking Heads – David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz, and Jerry Harrison – alongside additional musicians Bernie Worrell, Alex Weir, Steve Scales, Lynn Mabry, and Edna Holt performing many of the band’s most memorable songs.
For those that haven’t seen the film yet, it begins with Byrne walking to the center of an empty stage with an acoustic guitar and a tape player. He then begins the performance,...

After sweeping the 95th Academy Awards with seven monumental wins for Everything Everywhere All At Once, A24 plans to release the Talking Heads concert film Stop Making Sense in 4K for a theatrical release! Director Jonathan Demme’s first concert film is my favorite concert experience ever captured on film. The phenomenal performance by the Talking Heads changed how I listen to music. I’ll never forget the first time I watched Stop Making Sense on my way to All Tomorrow’s Parties 2008, curated by My Bloody Valentine.
Stop Making Sense stars core band members David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz, Jerry Harrison, P-Funk Bernie Worrell, Alex Weir, Steve Scales, Lynn Mabry, and Edna Holt.

In the New York Times’ 1984 review of “Stop Making Sense,” critic Janet Maslin says the rock concert film “looks and sounds like no other.”
“The film’s visual style is as coolly iconoclastic as Talking Heads itself,” she wrote. “Mr. Demme has captured both the look and the spirit of this live performance...
