Have you heard any of the new songs from rock band Paramore?! If not, you’re missing out! They sound so fresh, diverse and striking, just like Miss Williams’ hair! On the heels of the almost destructive loss of two band members in 2010 (Josh and Zac Farro) Paramore stayed out of the public eye… Until now! The edgy band regenerated with their self-titled album ‘Paramore'. So, how did they get here? Where did it all start? Well, hang around and I’ll tell you. The band was formed in Nashville, Tennessee in 2004. It was then, they played their first concert and just 6 months later they were signed by the label ‘Fueled by Ramen’.

debut album ‘All We Know Is Falling’. 2007 saw the release of their second album ‘Riot!’ Following this the band was nominated for ‘Best New Artist’ at the 2008 Grammy Awards. In 2010, the Farro brothers left the band. Following this the trio kept to themselves, until this year… They’ve announced a UK and American tour and are keen to get themselves back on the map. I went to see them at the ‘Phones 4 U Arena Manchester’. I think that it’s safe to say, they lived up to my expectations. They delivered an awesome performance and the atmosphere was phenomenal. Their punchy tunes reverberated around in my ears long after I had left the arena.
