American rock band Eagles of Death Metal’s ‘Flames Go Higher‘ was that song playing on The Resident last night as Devon and Billie are heading for the same parking spot — The Resident, Season 4, Episode 6, “Requiems & Revivals”.
Eagles of Death Metal’s ‘Flames Go Higher’ is an oldie but a goodie when it comes to early 21st century garage rock/alternative rock.

Soon afterwards, Josh Homme asked musicians to release a cover of the band’s song ‘I Love You All the Time‘, with all royalties that would normally be due the band going to a fund to help victims of the attack instead.
