“If the world is on fire I hope the most beloved stay protected and that we do all we can to protect what we cherish most in this life. ‘Burning’ is a song about that feeling, smoke signals for the soul. Begging to cool it down, just doing it the best we know how,” Karen O said of the new song, which interpolates a Frankie Valli track.

The Big Pink‘s ‘The Love That’s Ours‘ is out September 30 and features Jamie T, Jamie Hince (The Kills), Nick Zinner (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), and more.

”The Linda Lindas started out as a cover band, and we’ve played more songs by The Go-Go’s than anyone else,” they say.

Riot Fest regulars Taking Back Sunday, ”Gansta’s Paradise” hitmaker Coolio and more join this year’s Riot Fest lineup…
