Main article: Paramore
Paramore was created in Franklin, Tennessee in 2004, with Hayley Williams (lead vocals/keyboards) alongside Josh Farro (lead guitar/backing vocals), Jeremy Davis (bass guitar) and Zac Farro (drums). Prior to forming Paramore,[2] the other members of what was soon to be Paramore had been "edgy about the whole female thing" of having Williams as singer, but as they were good friends she began writing with them and eventually became a member. Jeremy Davis was also unsure if the band could be taken seriously because of zac's young age, he changed his mind after their first practice session when he watched zac play and realised he had talent.[3] The band has released three studio albums, All We Know Is Falling and Riot!, as well as two live albums and one EP. Their third album, brand new eyes was released on September 29, 2009. In June 2009, the band welcomed Taylor York (rhythm guitar). They knew Taylor York for many years and he played with them for several shows but was never an actual member.
