Hayley's Radio Tour

January 19, 2010

Hayley's currently on a little radio tour around the South. Go read her journal entry about how it's going so far.

"The Only Exception" As Next Single

January 15, 2010

Hayley posted a journal entry about The Only Exception:

also wanted to say for the record that "the only exception" will probably be the next single everywhere. sure, it may be exclusive in another country for a while but i think it will make it's way over here too. it would be a chance for us to do something different. we've never put out a song that wasn't fast or quirky or upbeat and fun. there are other sides to the band too... you guys know that better than the rest of the world... and to see how people react to the side of us that isn't sorta wild would be fun for us. to be honest, i'm nervous as to how it could go! i like the idea of having to take a leap instead of going with an obvious style of a song... but sure, it's a risk. anyways, i would like to ask you that even if you aren't completely sold on the idea you would at least pretend to support us in it. it's not like this is the last song we'll be releasing anyways! there will be plenty more from brand new eyes.

P.S. - Sorry for the lack of updates to the site.

Hayley Blogs About Humility

November 7, 2009

"O Lord, sink me in self that I may rise in Thee." - Spurgeon

what humbles you? whether it's something that sort of breaks you down or really builds you up?

i guess i'll start.
loss of security humbles me... when i feel like the whole world is watching but no one knows me. i hate knowing that everyone can look but it's from such a distance that they get to make up their own captions and sort of say who i am on their own terms and in their own time. i'm simple. not hard to amuse... i like to laugh a lot. i like dirty jokes! and i like working my ass off. what i'm most passionate about doing puts me in a position to be judged on a daily basis and from a long way off. it's humbling because i have can't possibly have any control over that. on the other hand, i can lose my voice and walk off stage pissed at myself and then have the people in the crowd sing TO ME, instead of booing. that was an encore that i will never ever forget.

Elle Magazine Interview

October 29, 2009

Elle Magazine interviewed Hayley and Jeremy, here's an excerpt:

How did it feel to debut at No. 2 on the Billboard charts—behind only Barbra Streisand and ahead of Mariah?
Jeremy: Sales aren't what they used to be, but us even being on the same chart as some massive artists is awkward. Once we saw that we sold more than some of them their first week—we sold more than Eminem did his first week—I was like, "Wait a minute."

'Track by Track' BNE Review

September 15, 2009

Definitely worth reading this review, it includes lots of lyrics and info about each song. Here’s an excerpt from the review talking about my personal favorite song off brand new eyes:

‘Looking Up’ - At first it seems like this is about friendship... “things are looking up finally, I thought I’d never see the day when you smile at me. Things always pull through when we try, I’m always wrong but you’re never right”. “I’d never trade it in cuz I’ve always wanted this / it’s not a dream anymore it’s worth fighting for”. But then it becomes evident it’s about success - “god knows the world doesn’t need another band but what a waste it would’ve been”, “honestly can you believe we crossed the world when you were asleep / it’s not a dream anymore it’s worth fighting for”. It’s a good trademark Paramore track, lots of riffs and tame ferociousness, no anger here but more hope: “can’t believe we almost hung it up / we’re just getting started”.
