Originally released in 1983 by The Call, “The Walls Came Down” became one of the band’s most powerful and enduring songs. Written by frontman Michael Been, the track captured the tension and uncertainty of the Cold War era with its urgent lyrics and driving sound. Decades later, the song still resonates just as strongly, which may be why it has remained a favorite in the live shows of Todd Rundgren.
After performing the song live for years, Rundgren eventually teamed up with surviving members of the band to record an official studio version—bringing new life to a classic while honoring the spirit of the original. The new EP is scheduled for release on March 27, 2026.
I can’t help but love this collaboration between Todd Rundgren and The Call. Rundgren has been performing the band’s classic song “The Walls Came Down” live in concert for years, and hearing his version for the first time is really exciting. It’s easy to see why the song has become such a standout in his live shows. That’s why it’s especially great to finally hear his take captured in an official recording. The release of this new EP makes this collaboration even more exciting.
It’s always great to see a classic song find new life through collaboration, and this version proves just how timeless “The Walls Came Down” really is.
