Paramore_2


When Paramore first formed, lead singer Hayley Williams was barely old enough to get her driver's license. That sounds pretty normal for your typical teenage band making noise in a garage. However, not every teenage band has a front woman with pipes like Williams', which Paramore paired with catchy melodies to take them out of the garage and into the spotlight. Since the band formed in 2004, the boys — and girl — of Paramore have grown to become punk/pop's poster children. Paramore burst on the scene with All We Know Is Falling in 2005. In 2007, the band released Riot!, which captured more attention. Paramore got a bigger boost when its song "Decode" was chosen as the lead single on the soundtrack for the tween-tastic movie, Twilight. Currently, the band is on tour promoting its latest album, Brand New Eyes, its most successful album to date. It will be joined at The Deltaplex by Christian crossover act Relient K, as well as Fun, which boasts front man Nate Ruess, formerly of the now-defunct band The Format
