Paramore is an awesome alternative band. They decided to name their band from the word paramour but they spelt it different, Paramore. The band consists of four people Hayley Williams (lead singer/keyboard), Jeremy Davis (bass guitar), Zac Farro (percussion), and his brother Josh Farro (lead guitar/backup vocals). Although Hayley Williams and Josh Farro already have two jobs for the band, they also write all the songs. They write the music and lyrics and than all the band members get the sound and arrangement. They released their first album in 2005 (when they Hayley Williams was only 17 and Zac Farro was only 15) called All We Know Is Falling. With great hits on it like “Emergency” or “Pressure” and “Brighter” (those are my favorite) The album itself did pretty good. It reached number thirty on the Billboard’s Heatseekers Chart. In 2007 Paramore released their second album called Riot! This is the better album of the two. It has hot songs like “Misery Business” or “Crush Crush Crush” and “That’s What You Get”. This album is doing excellent, they are doing the final Riot! Tour starting July 25th. While they are on tour Taylor York is playing rhythm guitar as a touring member.
I personally love this band. All the songs that I have heard by them are fantastic. Not a single bad one. I love Hayley Williams voice. It is so powerful and she is only 19 years old. I love their music because it is so unique and always has a beat that is just ridiculously catchy. My favorite song by them is “Misery Business” and it is also the first song I heard by Paramore. I love the music video for the song too because it always makes me laugh. In the music video it looks like the band is really having fun, and I like knowing that the band enjoys what the are doing. It makes me happy to listen to them. My second favorite song by them is “Crush Crush Crush” it is so up beat. You can’t just sit still and listen to it. You have to move in someway whether it is tapping your foot or clapping your hands or nodding your head or doing air guitar. Ha-ha. You have to move because it is an exciting song.
Over all, they are an awesome band. I think they are unique compared to all the other alternative bands. They bring a lot to the music table.
