We knew the current generation of arena punk-poppers was starting young--Panic! at the Disco had a hit record years before they could drink to it--but Tennessee's Paramore set a new age minimum. The tweens prove angsty beyond their years, issuing the genre's trademark guitar surges and hurt lyrics.
Sometimes things just fall in to place. The five members of Paramore, vocalist Hayley Williams, bassist Jeremy Davis, lead guitarist Josh Farro, drummer Zac Farro and guitarist Hunter Lamb all discovered music on their own, in different ways, but as soon as they got together something just clicked. The confident, upbeat music found on their debut album ALL WE KNOW IS FALLING exudes a rare natural chemistry that is easily addictive and makes them impossible to ignore. It is this chemistry that keeps Paramore together and sets them apart from their peers. The young band came together in Franklin, Tennessee after 13 year-old Hayley moved into town and met two brothers ? Josh and Zac Farro. The three enlisted bassist Jeremy Davis and began performing almost immediately. Newly christened Paramore, they played at local gatherings and their school talent show before graduating to rock venues in and around Franklin.
