Paramore is a Grammy-nominated American band that formed in Franklin, Tennessee in 2004. After several lineup changes, Paramore now primarily consists of Hayley Williams (lead vocals/keyboard), Josh Farro (lead guitar/backing vocals), Jeremy Davis (bass), and Zac Farro (drums).

Influenced by the likes of Jimmy Eat World and Sunny Day Real Estate, frontwoman Hayley Williams and lead guitarist Josh Farro are the group's primary songwriters. In 2005, the group released their debut album All We Know Is Falling, gaining a fanbase through touring and internet promotion of the singles "Pressure" and "Emergency". By 2007, the band gained mainstream notoriety with their second album Riot!.

The first single, "Misery Business",has received wide radio airplay and allowed for MTV to feature the band in Artist of the Week segments during August 2007. With their early success, much attention is paid to the young age of the band members; their ages range from 17 to 22.
Pop/rock outfit Paramore began humbly enough in Franklin, TN, when lead singer Hayley Williams met brothers Josh and Zac Farro (guitar and drums, respectively) after moving into town from Mississippi. The two had a young band that the burgeoning singer was soon asked to join. Opening Williams' 13-year-old eyes to the likes of U2, the Cure, Sparta, and Failure, the teenagers began performing together under the name Paramore following the addition of Jason Bynum on rhythm guitar and Jeremy Davis on bass. Local hangouts and a school talent show helped the young bandmembers hone their chops before at last moving up to gigs at area rock clubs.



About Hayley:
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.



About Josh:
I'm a pretty straight forward guy. I take life really seriously. I love my family and friends more than anything (which most everyone does but I love mine more). I love the feeling I get when I walk into a Starbucks. I can be a really akward sometimes. I love to laugh. I hate flying..haha. Sometimes I come across like I am mean but I don't mean to at all, I just have a serious personality. That pretty much sums me up I guess.



About Zac:
Hi, I'm Zac, I play drums. I started when I was around 9. I love joking around and laughing. I'm pretty much always on my phone or computer talking to friends or family. I love touring, it's all I do. I love making, playing, and listening to music, it never gets old. I'm 17 and I like food a lot. I eat it everyday.



About Jeremy:
I love music, food, and meeting new people. Luckily I have a job that not only is fun, but i get all those things everyday. Whenever I'm home I like to work on cars, whether its mine or my friend's. I love my friends, cause they all help me stay grounded and not let all of this get to my head, which is very important to me. I graduated high school in '04 so I love when I get to see my friends that I graduated with. I have the best family in the world. If it weren't for the love and support that they give me then I wouldn't have made it this far.
I've been playing bass for over 11 years and somehow I still love it and try to get better all the time. I couldn't have been more blessed then to have the job that I have and to have the friends and family that I have... and i love chicken fingers and fries with lots of ketchup more than anyone will ever know!!!!!! :)
