Paramore

Paramore is an American rock band formed in Franklin, Tennessee, in 2004. The band currently consists of the leading vocalist Hayley Williams, bassist Jeremy Davis, and guitarist Taylor York. 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. Brand New Eyes, Paramore's third album, was released in 2009 and is the band's highest charting album to date as of 2012, going platinum in Ireland and the UK, and gold in the US. Paramore originally was to debut under Atlantic Records, but instead debuted with Fueled by Ramen, which is now one of the biggest record labels in the US. Paramore started as four friends in the South-Eastern US, and at the age of 14 Hayley was souring to international super-stardom. Original members of the band, Josh and Zach Farro left the band in 2010 and took a lot of Paramore's fan base with them; but regardless of their departure, Paramore released their album Band New Eyes, with Jeremy Davis as a relatively new member. The album was a huge success and was the most successful of their albums at that point. The lyrics of the album clearly showed the pressure the band was going through, with songs such as "Playing God" and "Ignorance." Paramore now released a fourth album as of April 2013. The album is self-titled "Paramore." The album is their most praised and diverse album, turning away from the alternative punk genre and exploring into every genre in the mix. Many very prestigious critics have praised the albums release only 3 weeks ago. Within one week the album peaked the Billboard Hot 200 Albums list at number one, and the album even sold 106,000 copies in the first week, their only album to do so.

Emergency

This is one of Paramore's newer videos and is very well put together and tells an emotional story. The song is also amazing. Hayley Williams is beautiful and has an awesome voice.
