Pussy Riot Releases First English Song, ‘I Can’t Breathe,’ Inspired By Eric Garner

Members of the Russian punk band Pussy Riot released their first English-language song on Wednesday, titled “I Can’t Breathe” — the final words of New York police chokehold victim Eric Garner.

Pussy Riot members Nadya Tolokonnikova and Masha Alyokhina told The Guardian that they wrote the song after taking part in protests against police brutality in New York last December.

“We’ve known, on our own skin, what police brutality feels like and we can’t be silent on this issue,” they told The Guardian of their latest release.
