The Band
Paramore is an American rock band that formed in Franklin, Tennessee in 2004. Members are Hayley Williams (lead vocals/keyboards), Josh Farro (lead guitar/backing vocals), Jeremy Davis (bass guitar), Zac Farro (drums), and Taylor York (rhythm guitar).
As Paramore embark on the most successful year of their career, there seems to be no limit as to what they can accomplish. The band’s last 2007 album RIOT! has sold over two million copies worldwide, the group was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2008 for “Best New Artist” and even their live CD/DVD The Final Riot! has gone gold. However while these statistics are impressive, record sales have never been the driving force behind Paramore—and that fact has never been as evident as it is on the group’s highly anticipated third full-length Brand New Eyes. In fact, as excited as this group of young adults from Franklin, Tennessee are to have had the opportunity to tour with their heroes like Jimmy Eat World and No Doubt over the past few years, they seem even more ecstatic to share brand new eyes with the world
Anyone who has seen the band on the road already knows Paramore have an incendiary live show; however with brand new eyes, the group has proved they’re also able to juxtapose all of their indie-minded influences into a seamless collection of songs that embrace the future without abandoning the band’s past. Considering the fact that RIOT! went gold in Ireland, Canada, New Zealand and the U.K. and the band cracked the top five on the radio charts in the U.K. Australia, Mexico, Brazil, France, Germany and Southeast Asia, this global success story had a lot to live up to with brand new eyes. Co-produced by the band and Rob Cavallo (Green Day, My Chemical Romance), who Paramore also worked with on the track “Decode” from thedouble-platinum soundtrack for the movie Twilight, the album is also the first disc to officially feature new guitarist Taylor York—although York has been a writing partner and frequent touring member since the band’s inception back in 2004. While Josh and Hayley once again made up the main songwriting team on brand new eyes, Hayley is also quick to stress that this album is the most collaborative creation of the band’s career, a fact that is evident in the disc’s sonic diversity. In fact brand new eyes is a case study in the band’s versatility and contains as many driving, first-pumping anthems like “Ignorance” as it does upbeat pop masterpieces like “Where The Lines Overlap” and lilting, acoustic ballads such as “Misguided Ghosts.”
“Brick by Boring Brick” PARAMORE’S New Song
Paramore just leaked their second single "Brick by Boring Brick," off their latest record “brand new eyes”. It follows the recent release of brand new eyes' angry first single, "Ignorance". "Brick by Boring Brick," a nearly-five-minute-long track that makes fashion-forward singer Hayley Williams revolutionize her desire for genuine love into a song with an instant appeal to the ears.
"Brick by Boring Brick," is basically an extended fairy-tale metaphor and serves as the album's philosophical centerpiece. It lays out the singer's worldview of an epic love. Paramore puts a voice in people’s mouths, giving them lyrics to grab onto in defense of friends/enemies who think the world revolves around them. It’s a song about breaking down those walls and finding out that the core center of it is what really matters, and that life does not have to be some grand production.
In MTV.com Paramore reveal secrets of “Brick By Boring Brick” video; “we’re all like characters in a fairytale land” says Jeremy Davis. According to them, that the video for this song will be the first without any performance by the band, and a whole fairy-tale like feel will be expected for the video scheduled to premiere this month.
