PARAMORE SELF TITLED ALBUM DELUXE COVER FULL

The band was officially formed by Josh Farro (lead guitar/backing vocals), Zac Farro (drums), Jeremy Davis (bass) and Hayley Williams (lead vocals) in 2004, with the later addition of Williams' neighbor Jason Bynum (Rhythm Guitar). The other members of what was soon to be Paramore had been 'edgy about the whole female thing' of having Williams as vocalist/tambourine/accordian, but, because they were really good friends, she started writing for them and it eventually worked out.

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. Shortly after arriving, she began taking vocal lessons with Brett Manning. In 2003, at the age of 14, vocalist Hayley Nichole Williams (born December 27, 1988) moved from her hometown Meridian, Lauderdale County, Mississippi to Franklin, Williamson County, Tennessee USA where she met brothers Josh and Zac Farro while attending private school. The group released their debut album All We Know Is Falling in 2005, and their second album Riot! in 2007, which was certified platinum in the US and gold in the UK and Ireland. Paramore (often stylized as paramore) is a Grammy-nominated American rock band that formed in Franklin, Tennessee in 2004 consisting of Hayley Williams (lead vocals/keyboard), Josh Farro (lead guitar/backing vocals), Jeremy Davis (bass guitar), and Zac Farro (drums).

We’d take breaks, make hot tea in the studio kitchen, and get lost in conversation before we realized we should probably get back to work. It felt like the perfect place to let down, light candles, take off our shoes and just be. That’s a good energy to have in a room, especially with two women recording like we were. in the room that Stevie Nicks personally decorated for Fleetwood Mac’s recording of their double album ‘ Tusk.’ I felt like some of the mystic spirit of Stevie is still in the walls there. Close friendship between women who share their stories with each other and who lift each other up and understand one another. It was never meant as romantic song between lovers but always a song to a friend. What I love about ‘Heartbreak’ in particular is that both vocal melodies are strong enough to be leads but they sort of act as harmonies to each other. As far as the old school vibe of it, I think down deep I had been dying to write a song like this for a long time. We just sort of meshed each of our individual ideas and they fit together perfectly. Hayley recently told NPR about the making of and meaning behind the song:

For both of them, singing together on “Hate To See Your Heart Break” felt natural. They’ve been friends ever since, and have often looked to each other for musical inspiration. Hayley was just 12 when she met Joy, who was a few years older.
