Locomotion Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 um i found this article yesterday. and actually forgot to post abt it until now that i saw a thread kim made about the band posting this same article on the offcial site. So thxs to kim also. I didnt like the article that much because lately i been hearing these labels for Paramore, that they are teen-pop and pop-punk.I hate that. Anyways here is the article. By KELEFA SANNEH Obscure ain't what it used to be. Thanks to all kinds of online distribution, both legal and il-, it's getting harder to find any music at all that's hard to find. It keeps getting easier for fervent fans of underground acts to find one another, which means it keeps getting easier for casual browsers to find the music, and sample it free. This seems to work especially well for indie-rock acts, and somewhat less well for musicians in genres a little further from the rock-critical mainstream. And so what you'll find below isn't really a list of the year's 10 best obscurities, or the 10 obscurest bests. Instead it's a list, presented alphabetically, of 10 good or great CD's that arrived in record stores without making much of an impact. Some have found bigger cults than others, but all have been ignored by at least one publication. (Here's a hint: You're reading it.) ..... ...PARAMORE, 'ALL WE KNOW IS FALLING' (Fueled by Ramen). The fine line between teen-pop and pop-punk got a little finer with the release of "All We Know Is Falling" by Paramore, a sugary Warped Tour band led by an impressive singer (and, one imagines, a potential star) named Hayley Williams, who will turn 17 next week. One of the best songs, "Whoa," is as infectious as it is self-referential: Ms. Williams declares, "And we've got everybody singing/ Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa." If she's bragging, she's got a right. and the article actually is bigger, but it talks about other albums; in case ur interested go HERE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue Ninja Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 They're poppy enough that I like them, and Simple Plan is my favorite band if that give you an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domenica Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 if you don't think they're "pop-punk" or "teenie-pop" what would you classify them as? just out of curiousity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephler Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 alternative rock or alternative punk thats what iTunes categorizes them as. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Ninja Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 I would call them pop rock, because I think they're pretty catchy and radio-friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locomotion Posted December 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 maybe here we go again but songs as conspiracy or franklin arent that too much radio friendly, but they are really good. maybe a rock/punk or rock/emo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire At Will Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Im gunna say Alternative, you cant deny the fact that they have some pop influence in them and all they're songs are radio friendlyish and you cant call them punk and i unno i find them a littttle emo, but not annoying "DEATHHHHHH I WANNNA KILL MYSELF AND I WANNA MAKE MYSELF BLEEEEDDD" emo = | i unno, just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
