*Sorry for cutting the title on the subject, but it wouldnt fit. http://www.cleveland.com/entertainment/plaindealer/index.ssf?/base/friday/114016957374770.xml&coll=2#continue Young Rockers Have Few Chances to Get Distracted While on Road Friday, February 17, 2006 Michael K. McIntyre Plain Dealer Reporter Infectious pop-rockers Paramore can play like rock stars and sing like rock stars and, generally, rock like rock stars. But they definitely can't party like rock stars. "We party at Denny's, that's where we party," said Josh Farro, who was not making it up. For one thing, lead singer Hayley Williams' dad is always hanging out with them on the road, which makes it tough to trash a hotel room. For another, Josh has his little brother, 15-year-old drummer Zac, to look after. Not that he could go bar-hopping even if he could ditch the kid and sneak past the lead singer's dad. Josh is only 18. All of the band members still live at home with their parents when they aren't on the road touring in support of their first album, "All We Know Is Falling." The band played the Agora in October and makes a return Sunday night with Halifax. The three met a few years ago when Josh, his brother and another friend had a band and Hayley was the new kid in town. She had just moved to Franklin, Tenn., just outside Nashville from her home in Meridian, Miss. "Zac met her first and was like, dude, you've got to meet this girl. She plays guitar, and she can sing," Josh said. "We invited her over and she watched us play and then she sang, and we were just, like, whoa." Seventeen-year-old Hayley, who is finishing high school on the Internet, has a full voice that sounds more seasoned than her years. She's been compared to Avril Lavigne, but Josh, with bravado, shoots that down. "Hayley's voice is so much better, it's so much more unique. She started off singing R&B, and she can sing all types of music and her range is just unbelievable," Josh said. And her energy onstage sets the tone for their live show. The band now consists of the Farro brothers, Hayley and two old fogies, guitarist Hunter Lamb and bassist Jeremy Davis, both 20. Josh writes the songs on his guitar, and Hayley usually handles the lyrics. (She should apply for extra credit in English.) He sheepishly admits to having been a Creed fan as a 13-year-old, but a friend turned him on to Led Zeppelin. He's also into Failure, Weezer and his personal favorite, Death Cab for Cutie. Paramore, after a year of local gigs, was signed to Fueled by Ramen Records after its founder, John Janick, heard the group play once. Since then, the band members have cut an album, joined the Warped Tour and now tour the country selling their debut album. When they get to Cleveland, they are in for one heck of a party. Bob Evans will make them forget all about Denny's. To reach this Plain Dealer reporter: mmcintyre@plaind.com, 216-999-4538

Awesome! Thanks for posting! Congrats Kim and Steph!

His voice scares me. The video scares me.

Thanks, MeLoN! I was wondering the same thing.

I agree with you. I'm not even a member there, because it's worthless. Why would you join the official forum, when all the information you need is here. Plus, this place is much more active with lots of friendly people.

http://www.nashvillerage.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060215/RAGE0203/602160314/1203/RAGE Wednesday, 02/15/06 Why I Rock: Paramore By Jason Moon Wilkins Nashville's Paramore released their major-label debut All We Know Is Falling (Fueled By Ramen/Atlantic) in 2005, but Music City fans would be forgiven for not noticing. After a bombastic in-store performance at Grimey's upon the release of the album, the female-fronted, emo-leaning power-punk band hit the road ... and stayed there. They played the massive Bamboozle Festival (sort of like an emo Bonnaroo), the Warped Tour and countless other dates. Heck, you were more likely to see the telegenic group on MTV (they were featured on You Hear It First) than in town. When ATR caught up with Paramore's titanically gifted, pint-sized powerhouse lead singer, Hayley Williams, the band had just returned to Franklin from a West Coast tour and was preparing to hit the road again for the foreseeable future. We were just in time to catch her and find out exactly why Paramore rocks: ATR: What was it like being one of the only female-fronted bands in the obviously testosterone-heavy atmosphere of the Warped Tour? HW: I definitely expected the worst, as far as the Warped Tour goes, but it really wasn't that bad. We were on an all-girls stage, and actually I think that was worse than if we were in the middle of a bunch of guy bands. It really was. It was a weird experience. I would say we get treated differently more for our age than the fact that I'm a girl. There's definitely times, being young, that people don't expect much from us, and we have to prove ourselves the first couple of nights before we can make that next step to a friendship with them, y'know? ATR: Are you getting more responses from female fans who are excited to see a girl shaking up the boy-heavy world of emo? HW: I guess when we started the band I didn't know or I didn't think about how unique or different it is for a band like us in this realm of music to have a girl front singer. But as we started touring and getting exposure, I started getting tons of that. Like, "Man, it's so great to see a girl in this world. It's so great to see you up there rocking out just as much as any guy or maybe more." A lot of people may think, "Oh, that's kind of cheesy," but it's cool for us to hear anything like that from anyone who appreciates our music that much. It's awesome. ATR: Do you have any recording plans in the next several months, or are you concentrating on touring? HW: We talked about writing new stuff and trying to record a little more, but after we got out on the road we saw such a different response from last year. There's tons more kids coming out to shows. We're selling more merch, more CDs. Overall, there's a better response. So we're gonna give this album a longer time. I don't think we were ready to move on anyway. We're so attached to this record right now. It's been out for six months and I'd say we've sold 23,000-24,000. I can't remember. We're really excited. We're gonna keep touring on it maybe until the end of the year. ATR: How has the response been to your appearance on MTV's You Hear It First? HW: The response was incredible. Every time it aired we would end up having 80 pages of new friend requests on MySpace within an hour. It was insane. It did amazing things for our band. But there was also a negative from it. A lot of kids who are big into underground music and into the indie scene are not too appreciative of the bigger mainstream world. I guess generally people think of radio (and MTV) as the enemy. But we definitely don't mind having airplay on a Clear Channel radio station any more than we would mind it being on a college, indie, whatever station. We just want as many people to hear us as possible. ATR: Do you feel like a part of what is going on in town right now musically? HW: I think all of us in the band really wish that we would have had more time to spend in Nashville growing as a band and getting familiar with the whole Nashville scene. We spent most of our time early on just hanging out and practicing eight hours at a time, if we could. We did miss out on the whole Nashville thing, but there's no reason we can't still be a part of it. We're trying to do stuff here as much as we can because we love it. Sorry if its already been posted.

hmm.... I have to go with Selena. I used to love her! But, I also loved Ricky Martin when he was in Menudo!
