‘It’ll be kind of surreal and awesome to see one of my friends take that step,’ Williams says.
On December 18, Paramore announced that brothers Josh and Zac Farro were leaving the band, confirming rumors that had begun swirling earlier in the week.
10 years ago, Paramore unleashed their self-titled, fourth studio album into the world. Featuring standout singles “Ain’t It Fun” and “Still Into You” amongst the 17-track collection, the self-titled album acted as a reintroduction of the group after the departure of guitarist Josh Farro and drummer Zac Farro. While the group previously leaned heavily into pop-punk and emo sounds, their self-titled release injected the tracks with more experimental vibes and dabbled in new wave and funk compositions. Now, to commemorate the 10-year anniversary of the album, vocalist Hayley Williams has shared some insight into the album that was destined to… Read more »
Today we are talking about a delay in Paramount Pictures movies, Olivia Rodrigo paying royalties to other artists, and Muhammad Ziiyad Zolkefli being punished in the Paralympics for being late.
Today we are paying tribute to Charlie Watts, Olivia Rodrigo is giving credit to Paramore for “Good 4 U”, Nirvana is getting sued by the “Nevermind” baby, OnlyFans is taking back their new policies, and Delta Airlines is pushing for the employees to get vaccinated.
It’s a pretty beginning of a fall afternoon when I meet up with Bryce Avery, better known as The Rocket Summer at a park in Los Angeles. After about 10 minutes of trying and failing to locate each other in the park, we finally managed to find our way. We caught up quickly after our last meeting at this summer’s APMAs, and then took a nice hike up the trails–me in heels, and him in a leather jacket–to help photographer Erica Lauren get the perfect pictures before coming back down to talk about his “not really a comeback” comeback.

It is one if its biggest songs, the one that put it on the map and got it to where it is today. But on its new album, Paramore is looking to put “Misery Business” behind it. Looking back, lead singer Hayley Wiliams said that the song provided a much needed catharsis. That release, she said, paved the way for Paramore to complete work on its new album. “‘Misery Business’ was a big step for me, because it was sort of an embarrassing, vengeful emotion, and I just felt really bratty. And it was good for me to get out,”… Read more »
I’m about to make a fairly simple comparison seem unnecessarily complex, but the situation demands it. So here it goes: Paramore are the new No Doubt. To do this to any other way would be lazy, not to mention a tad bit insulting. But in this case, there is one glaring similarity between both bands: the dynamic, iconic frontwoman who also doubles as the media focal point. In essence, Hayley Williams and Gwen Stefani are covered the same and contextualized the same. Yes, they’re both pretty girls with dye jobs who are showing the guys how it’s done and are… Read more »
There’s a certain serendipity to Paramore’s opening slot on the upcoming and much-anticipated No Doubt return tour. Fans of the latter might remember the video for “Don’t Speak,” where No Doubt’s three male members look daggers at bejeweled frontwoman Gwen Stefani as they’re cropped out of a magazine shoot. A similar thing might have happened over the last two years to Paramore. The young Tennessee pop-punk quintet vaulted into the charts on the strength of such buoyant singles as “Misery Business,” the “Twilight” soundtrack cut “Decode” and their platinum-selling 2007 sophomore album “Riot!” But Paramore’s ochre-haired spitfire singer, 20-year-old Hayley… Read more »
