She wanted to make sure that she and her band got the chance to show what they can do as a rock band writing their own songs." Label president Julie Greenwald and the label staff decided to go with her wishes. In an interview with HitQuarters the band's A&R at Atlantic, Steve Robertson, said, "She wanted to make sure that we didn't look at her as some straight to Top 40 pop princess. The original plan of the label was to turn her into a pop singer, but Williams resisted, saying that she wanted to play alternative rock music with a band. Steunebrink and Richard Williams had originally discovered and signed her to a production deal that was later bought out by Atlantic. She had been introduced to Atlantic A&R Tom Storms through Kent Marcus and Jim Zumwalt, lawyers of managers Dave Steunebrink and Richard Williams, and then eventually signed to Atlantic by Jason Flom. Williams was originally signed to Atlantic Records as a solo artist in 2003. Once the group learned the meaning of the homophone "paramour" ("secret lover"), they decided to adopt the name, using the Paramore spelling. I knew we were on to something." According to Williams, the name "Paramore" came from the maiden name of the mother of one of their first bass players. I remember thinking, 'This is not going to work because this kid is way too young,' but that first day of practice was amazing. He admitted "I had very, very, very, little faith in everyone in the band because of their age. When Davis showed up, he was stunned to find out the drummer was only twelve years old. Williams said of the members when she first met them, "They were the first people I met who were as passionate about music as I was." The band was officially formed by Josh Farro (lead guitar/backing vocals), Zac Farro (drums), Davis (bass guitar) and Williams (lead vocals) in 2004, with the later addition of Williams' neighbor Jason Bynum (rhythm guitar). The other members of what was soon to be Paramore had been "edgy about the whole female thing" of having Williams as vocalist, but, because they were good friends, she started writing for them. Prior to forming Paramore, Williams and bassist Jeremy Davis, along with friend Kimee Read, took part in a funk cover band called The Factory, while Josh and Zac Farro had practiced together after school.
Shortly after arriving, she began taking vocal lessons with Brett Manning. In 2002, at age 13, vocalist Hayley Williams moved from her hometown Meridian, Mississippi to Franklin, Tennessee, where she met brothers Josh Farro and Zac Farro at a weekly supplemental program for home-schooled students. It was also the No. 1 album in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Argentina and Mexico. Paramore's 2013 self-titled fourth album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts in the United States. Brand New Eyes, Paramore's third album, was released in 2009 and is the band's second-highest charting album to date, going platinum in Ireland and the UK, and gold in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
The group released its debut album All We Know Is Falling in 2005, and its second album Riot! in 2007, which was certified Platinum in the US and Ireland and Gold in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the UK. The band currently consists of lead vocalist Hayley Williams, bassist Jeremy Davis, and guitarist Taylor York. The band’s current single, “Still Into You” is a sure-fire hit that I can’t stop singing.Paramore is an American rock band from Franklin, Tennessee, formed in 2004. There are plenty of quality songs, including the first song, “ Fast In My Car,” which is exactly what you’ll want to do when listening to it. Overall, I think this is a successful album. There’s a sequel to “Let The Flames Begin” called “Part II” and has other solid songs such as “Grow Up” and “Last Hope.” The album also offers a few love songs (“Still Into You” and “Proof”) that fans haven’t really heard before from the band. That’s not to say that old Paramore fans shouldn’t give this album a chance. You can hear this on track six: “Ain’t It Fun” where the upbeat song includes a back-up gospel choir. You can tell the three members really explored their sound and got out of their rock bubble a couple times. If that’s true, Paramore is one stand-out piece of work. When a band self-titles an album, it’s understood that these are the best songs they’ve written, and, most importantly, this sound is what defines the band. It’s also a self-titled album, which really makes a statement. The album features 17 songs, including three interludes that, according to this interview with MTV, the band wrote out of writer’s block. This past Tuesday the new Paramore album was released, and without even listening to this album, you can tell it stands out from the rest.
