Paramore Biography!

It’s biography time! This lucky band for this week is Paramore. I LOVE this band! The first song that I heard from them was “Decode”. My favorite songs by Paramore at the moment are “Monster”, “Now”, and “Crushcrushcrush”. Out of all of the artists on my iPod, I believe that I have the most songs for Paramore. I just love her voice because it can be soft and lyrical, or it can be loud and demanding. Her voice sounds great either way.

Paramore Biography:

Paramore was formed in Franklin, Tennessee after Josh and Zac Farro met Hayley Williams at their private school. In 2004, the band performed together for the first time. The band consisted of five people at this point. Hayley Williams (lead singer), Josh Farro (lead guitarist), Zac Farro (drummer), Jeremy Davis (bassist), and Jason Bynum (rhythm guitarist) were the original five members. Paramore’s 2005 debut album was All We Know Is Falling. This album became number thirty on Billboard’s Heatseekers Chart. Riot, however, grabbed a spot on the Top Twenty Chart in 2007. This album contained two hit singles as well as their corresponding music videos. Between the releases of these two albums, the members of Paramore changed slightly. Hunter Lamb, for example, joined the band in 2005 as a guitarist, but he left in 2007.  At the 2008 Grammy Awards, Paramore was nominated for the Best Artist Award. In the summer of 2008, the band performed in their fourth Warped Tour. The members have changed yet again. Josh and Zac Farro left Paramore last year, leaving Hayley Williams and Jeremy Davis as the remaining original members. The band consists of bassist, Jeremy Davis, guitarist, Taylor York, and lead singer, Hayley Williams. Hayley is often praised for her strong singing voice and for her songwriting. Yay Paramore!
