"I think that people shouldn't be ashamed to wear their scars...and show people, and even tell people, 'Look, I've been through a lot of terrible stuff in my life', and there's no need to hide it. You can show people that you've grown through it, and become so much of a stronger person because of your past....all of our scars will effect eachother directly. So we're tied together, for life." Hayley Wiliams

Over the past two years, Paramore, the rapidly emerging pop-punk quintet from Tennessee, has been building a near-deafening 'next big thing' buzz. Driven by riveting live shows and the undeniable charisma of their frontwoman, 18-year-old Hayley Williams, they have captivated an increasingly rabid following. Confronted by the double-edged sword of overwhelming early praise, Paramore has risen to the challenge and recorded an album that happily delivers on all the claims made on their behalf. With their new Fueled By Ramen collection, 'RIOT!, ' they announce that they have the talent, the passion, and the songs to take themselves to the next level.

my favorite song right now are Vegas or Hit or Miss (They count as one because I couldn't decide, haha), Killed By An Angel (ridiculous voice!), US Royalty and A Praise Chorus (My little sister and I blast this in the car, it rules)

I'm Hayley Nichole Williams or Hayley Williams but they usually call me spongebob , sponge , hayles . Im 20 yrs.old born on Dec.27.1988 . I was born in Meridian,Mississippi. I am pretty simple. Music, make up, and fashion are what I'm really into. Sort of a typical girls list of hobbies...but I ain't no girls girl. I'm into making memories with photographs and I tend to be pretty nostalgic. Anything to do with the south, I'm down for it: good times and BBQ!!!

My goal is to make music that people, 30 or 40 years from now, wish they were around for.

My musical influences are musical influencesEtta James, Chaka Khan, Jimmy Eat World, The Cure, Refused, New Found Glory, Sunny Day Real Estate, Failure, mid to late 90's pop rock (Third Eye Blind, Semisonic, Filter) and NSync... and many others.

My favorite song to perform live is "For A Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic"

My favorite places . Nashville, TN, anywhere in California, Tokyo, Japan, or Brisbane and Melbourne, Australia .

ILove Loud music on road trips, our 12 passenger van, The Warped Tour, Downtown Franklin, fishing, dancing, Sam and Zoe's for lunch when we are rehearsing in Nashville for tour, going to the movie theater, and a soy 6 pump extra hot no water chai (apparently this is Madonna's favorite drink so I tried it and now the whole Starbucks experience, for me, is based around this drink! You should try it.)

My Top 5 Favorite Foods:

1) Mr. Farro's walnut chicken...really anything Mr. or Mrs. Farro cook.

2) All foods involving lots of cheese (Because it's usually forbidden due to the voice).

3) BBQ

4) Tijuana wrap from Sam and Zoe's in Berry Hill, TN

5) Salmon and tuna sashimi

In 2002, at the age of 13, Hayley moved from her hometown Meridian, Lauderdale County, Mississippi to Franklin, Williamson County, Tennessee USA where she met fellow band members Josh and Zac Farro in school. Shortly after arriving, she began taking vocal lessons with Brett Manning. While still in school she tried out for a local funk cover band called The Factory, where she met Jeremy Davis. After The Factory disbanded, Hayley and Jeremy began writing songs with the Farro brothers and became Paramore. In 2005, John Janick, founder of record label Fueled by Ramen, signed a contract with them. Hayley commented about the signing, saying, "Fueled By Ramen has been amazing to us. So many kids started checking us out because our name is on their roster. It’s like a big family; we all share such a massive unit of fans."She has also done guest vocals on 'Then Came to Kill' by the Chariot, 'Keep Dreaming Upside Down' by October Fall, 'Fallen' by Death in the Park, 'Tangled Up' by New Found Glory, 'The Church Channel' and 'Plea' by Say Anything, and appeared in the music video for 'Kiss Me' by New Found Glory.

Readers' Poll.

Paramore was created in Franklin, Tennessee in 2004. Consisting of Hayley Williams as lead singer and keyboardist, Josh Farro as lead Guitar and back up vocals, Jeremy Davis on bass guitar and Zac Farro on drums. Prior to forming Paramore, however, Williams and bassist Jeremy Davis took part in a funk cover band called The Factory, while the Farro brothers had practiced together after school. The other members of what was soon to be Paramore had been "edgy about the whole female thing" of having Williams as vocalist, but as they were good friends she began writing with them and eventually became a member. The band has released two albums, All We Know Is Falling and Riot!. They also released an album from one of their shows on tour, The Final Riot!.
