Biography
The Paramore group widely became famous in the mid-2000s thanks to the film "Twilight": the song "Decode" sounded in it, one of the key in the work of rockers. In the history of the team, there were leaving and returning musicians, presenting the Grammy Award and Depression, the struggle for power and global success. However, despite the troubles, now Paramore is trying to keep the brand and delight fans of hits.The history of creation and composition
In 2002, the 13-year-old Haley Williams, the future vocalist Paramore, moved with his mother in Franklin, Tennessee. On weekly classes for students studying at home, the girl met Farro brothers - Josh and Zak.
The guys were engaged in music and cherished a dream one day to create a group. Williams sang well. To improve your skill, immediately after the arrangement in a new place, it began to take the lessons of vocals from Brett Manning, the famous American music teacher.
Before the creation of Paramore Williams and her future bassist Jeremy Davis played the Funk-Caver group The Factory, and the Farre brothers improved the game on the guitars in the garage at home. Later, in an interview, Williams recalled about friends as "the first people who were also passionate about the music as I".
In 2003, Haley Williams signed a contract with ATLANTIC RECORDS as a soloist. The label plan was to turn the girl in the "Next Madonna", but she was opposed: she dreamed of playing an alternative rock with his own group. Atlantic Records went to meet the desires of young diva. So the history of the creation of Paramore begins.
At the beginning of the road, in 2004, the group included a vocalist Haley Williams, guitarist and back vocalist Josh Farre, Rhythm Guitarist Jason Baynum, Basist Jeremy Davis and Drummaker Zach Farro. An interesting fact: the youngest participant of Paramore, the dosage, then was only 12 years old. The name of Paramore occurred from the Mother's maiden name of one of the guitarists. Later, the musicians learned about the existence of a Paramour's mistifer, which means "a secret lover."
Music
It was planned that the "house" of Paramore will be atlantic records, with which Williams associated contractual relations, but the label considered himself too serious for informal and young group. The guys began to sign up from Fueled by Ramen, a highly specialized rock company.It was worth only a Paramore to get to his studio to Orlando, Florida, as Jeremy Davis announced his care from the group, referring to personal reasons. This event, as well as the divorce of parents Haley Williams, is dedicated to the song "All We Know".
In continuation of the topic of losses, the name of the debut album "All We Know Is Falling" (from English "" Everything, with which we know, collapse "). On the cover - thematic photo of an empty red sofa and a leaving human shadow.
"This is an allegory of jeremy's care from the group and the loss that we feel," explained the idea of Williams.All WE Know Is Falling album released in July 2005. The genre of music critics was characterized as pop punk, emo, pop rock, "Mall Punk". Paramore was compared with Fall Out Boy, and Hayley Williams vocals - with Avril Lavin. In general, 10 tracks that came to the record were rated positively, but noted that the group lacks maturity and arrogance.
"All WE Know Is Falling" got only in Billboard Heatseekers Albums, and then on the 30th place. Only in 2009, he became gold in the UK, and in 2014 in the United States.
Before the debut tour in support of "All WE Know Is Falling" Paramore took a new bassist John Hembri. The young man spent in a group of only 5 months, because Jeremy Davis returned. In December 2005, Jason Baynuma replaced Hunter Lamb.
Thanks to the performances with more well-known pop punk groups, Paramore managed to declare themselves. They were called the best new group, and Haley Williams hit the 2nd place in the ranking of the sexiest women according to the readers of the British magazine Kerrang!. By the way, the accompanying article in this journal insulted the group: the emphasis was applied to Williams as on the main component of Paramore.
"We could do without a cover in your journal. Sorry if you insult someone in Kerrang!, But there is no truth in your article, "the musicians wrote on their page in LiveJournal.In 2007, Hunter Lamb left Paramore, because in his biography it was a happy and responsible event - a wedding. He came to the replacement came guitarist Taylor York, who played with the brothers Farror to Paramore.
The album "Riot!" Released in 2007 Thanks to the competent management, it broke into the 20th place in the Billboard 200 and on the 24th place in the British Chart. In the first week, the record was separated by a circulation of 44 thousand copies.
"Misery Business", the first single from the album, Williams calls "the most honest song, which I have ever written." The idea came after Paramore asked the fans, for which they were ashamed. They entered the track list and written back in 2003 "Hallelujah", and "Crushcrushcrush", a clip for which was nominated as the best rock video on MTV Video Music Awards.
2008 began for Paramore from Triumph. In February, the group appeared on the cover of Alternative Press magazine, whose readers called them the best team at the end of the past year. At the same time, the Americans barely did not get the Grammy award as a better new artist, but Amy Winehouse was more worthy.
Paramore was just wheeling in the UK and the United States within the Riot! Tour when there was a news about the cancellation of 6 concerts due to "personal problems." Later it turned out that the crisis provoked Josh Farrho, who did not like that Haley Williams is always in the center of attention.
In April and May 2008, Paramore returned to the scene by joining the American Turner Jimmy Eat World. The group then spoke at the Give IT A NAME festival, in June gave the first show in Ireland, and since July it went on The Final Riot!. In November of the same year, the team converted the same recording of a living performance in Chicago, Illinois, and a documentary about the stoken in DVD format. Six months later, the disc was gold in the USA.
The third studio album Paramore wrote in their native Nashville, Tennessee. According to Josh Farro, "it is much easier to record, if you sleep in my own bed at night, and not in hotels." The result was embodied in the BRAND New Eyes plate (2009).
BRAND NEW EYES debuted on the 2nd place in Billboard 200, breaking 184 thousand copies in the first week. In 2016, the sales of the album exceeded 1 million copies. The track by Boring Brick, "The Only Exception", "Ignorance" are particularly popular. Success allowed Paramore to divide the scene with world stars: Faith No More, Placebo, All Time Low, Green Day.
And again the rise was followed by a fall: In 2010, a message appeared on the official website of the group that the Farre brothers leave the team. Josh was still outraged the role of Haley Williams in Paramore. He accused a girlfriend that she uses a group as a solo project, "perceives musicians as a retinue." Acceptance of the break was required to spend time with family.
The care of the two founders did not prevent Paramore release a new material. The first result was the single "Monster", which was among the soundtracks to the film "Transformers-3: Dark Side of the Moon" (2011). Then the album "Paramore" (2013) was released - the most commercially successful group discography.
"Paramore" topped Billboard 200, Single "Ain't IT Fun" won the Grammy Award as the best rock song, and the Spirit in the group suffered anyway. In December 2015, Jeremy Davis left the group for the second time, and with a scandal: he declared the rights to the fee from the album of the same name. The world agreement was concluded only in 2017.
The care of Davis, who coincided with the divorce Haley Williams and his spouse, strongly sucking the mental health of vocalist. In 2015, she briefly left his brainchild. Only Taylor York remained in the group. Already in January 2016, Williams announced through "Instagram" that Paramore creates the following album. And a year later, Zack Farro officially returned to the group.
Paramore's experienced events devoted the first single from the Album "After Laughter" (2017) - "Hard Times". And in general, all songs from this release affect the themes of moral depletion, depression and anxiety.
Paramore now
After the tour in support "After Laughter" Paramore feet for the bottom: neither on the official website, nor on social networks now there are no reports about the plan groups in the near future.
However, Haley Williams uses a pause in collective work with benefit: In January 2019, the American Football Track "Uncomfortably Numb" came out, in which she took part.
