Alternative Press

Paramore kommer att vara pÃ¥ omslaget av Alternative Press: “Most Anticipated Music of 2012″ januari 2012 frÃ¥gan. Mer information om frÃ¥gan och hur man köpa den finns här.

Frågan inkluderar en ny fotografering och en ny intervju med Paramore. Bilderna har tagits av bandets fotograf Lindsey Byrnes i New York City och intervju har skrivits av APs Annie Zalenski.

Paramore’s frequent use of the word “fun� [during AP’s interview] is heartening, especially because the band admit that being in Paramore hasn’t always been fun in previous years.

“We’ve always enjoyed what we do,� guitarist Taylor York says, “but we’d watch other bands on tour with us and they would just be having a blast. They’d be in vans, all cramming in one hotel room. Every day, they were just stoked to be there. In my head, I’m like, ‘Either they’re just really mistaken’�—at this, everybody laughs—“‘or we’re missing something. I don’t think it’s possible to have that much fun.’�

“I felt so bad for the longest time, because we made being in a band look like it wasn’t fun,â€� adds frontwoman Hayley Williams. “In my opinion. Other people might not have thought that, but you imagine all the interviews we did where it was just like, ‘Uhhh…’

“It’s important for young people to know how much fun it is to make music with your friends,� she continues. “You have to fight for it, of course, but it’s the biggest gift to play music for people, and it’s a gift even if you’re not playing for anybody. It’s fun, and I’m excited. We’re stoked to have that spirit revolving around this [forthcoming] album and just relax into the process.�

The members of Paramore admit keeping things low-key—and being selective about their promotional obligations—helped them get through the year. But paradoxically, getting back on the road and being around their fans was good for morale. York says Paramore started rediscovering how much they enjoy being in a band together while touring this year, especially when they traveled to South America in February. “This winter, when Zac and Josh left, we went through a really hard time,� he says. “I think we had to go through that. We all love each other, but we had to come together so closely that we really rediscovered how much we really love each other—and how much we love playing music. We had to go through that to realize what we had.�

“For a while, it felt like music was our only escape, like soundcheck or shows,� says bassist Jeremy Davis. “And it never was long enough; you didn’t really want to leave soundcheck, because that’s whenever nothing else mattered. We’ve always had a blast onstage, had fun with the fans and the interaction and everything. But it seems like so much more fun [now], I have no idea why. What used to not be fun, we find joy in—and find joy in each other. It shows in every way, even onstage. Now we’re bouncing all over the place and smiling. If you mess up, it’s like, ‘Whatever, it’s music.’�

Six things you didn’t know about Paramore

Elle har postat en artikel online. Läs originalet här.

Hayley Williams discussed her low-maintenance sartorial tastes with ELLE in July’s Women in Music issue, citing “a cut-up T-shirt and a good pair of pants that don’t show booty cleavage when you headbangâ€� as her preferred onstage getup. But now, Paramore’s flame-haired front woman’s revealed a few other facts about her unstoppable pop-punk quintet—whose hit “Ignoranceâ€� is nominated for Best Rock Video at this year’s VMAs.

1. Our first show was on May 2nd, 2004 at The End in Nashville, TN. We were the local band opening for Copeland, who were one of our favorite bands at the time.
2. When we got signed to Fueled By Ramen records, Zac was in the 8th grade. He used the good news of our signing as inspiration for one of his “non-fiction” writing assignments at school, but the teacher knocked off points because she didn’t believe it was “non-fiction”. He quit school the week later.
3. Josh and I got our high school diplomas by finishing high school online while we were on tour.
4. I wrote the lyrics to our song “Fences”, from RIOT!, across my SAT test paper.
5. Jeremy used to play a five-string bass because he’s actually really good at slap-and-funk bass. He and I were in a funk cover band called The Factory, just before Paramore began.
6. Taylor is the newest official member of our band, but he’s actually been around and writing with us since the beginning. The first song he and I wrote together was in 2003, “O Star.”  It’s a B-side track to our first album, All We Know Is Falling.

Girls Of Summer: The Hottest Women In Music

Hayley är med pÃ¥ listan över “The Hottest Women in Music” pÃ¥ Gigwise.

“Katy Perry returns this month with new album ‘Teenage Dream’, her self-proclaimed “candy-themedâ€� follow-up to 2008′s ‘One For The Boys’.

But where as Perry was an anomaly two years ago, this summer she returns at a time when women have taken over the music world.

From Lady Gaga to Paramore’s Hayley Williams, 2010 has become the Girls Of Summer. To celebrate, Gigwise has taken a look at some of the hottest females in music right now.”
