 
Paramore hail from Tennessee and consist of Hayley
Williams on lead vocals and keyboards, Josh Farro on
guitar and vocals, Jeremy Davis on bass, and Zac
Farro on drums. Paramore began after Williams moved
from Mississippi to Tennessee and met the Farro
brothers at a private school. Williams also became
involved with a band called 'The Factory' with Davis.
The 4 of them eventually formed Paramore in 2004
along with Jason Bynum on rhythm guitar. Within a few
years, Paramore began gaining a loyal following and
hitting the mainstream by 2007 with their hit "Misery Business" followed soon with a Grammy
nomination.
Paramore released All
We Know Is Falling (available for download at iTunes and Amazon-mp3).
Prior to recording All
We Know Is Falling, Davis left the group for personal
reasons and the impact of his departure was evident
in the concept of the LP, many of the songs, and its
cover art.
John Hembree joined the group on bass to replace
Davis - but 5 months after leaving, Davis returned to
the group, Hembree left, . Hunter Lamb replaced Bynum
on guitar.
The EP The Summer Tic was released.
