Pussy Riot's mixture of punk rock and activism has struck a cord with Americans, and now the band is releasing their very first song in English to protest police violence. Titled "I Can't Breathe," the song is about the controversial death of Eric Garner at the hands of a New York City police officer last year. The officer ultimately faced no charges despite putting Garner in a chokehold, which is prohibited, and ignoring Garner's cries that he was unable to breathe. The band's song is an appropriately dark response to his death, but it also puts forward some semblance of hope for the future. The song ends: "some fairness might be found / from ashes of his death." Some New York artists, including Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, worked with Pussy Riot on the song.
