hi everyone,

don’t worry, we’re not dead. honestly, after the last entry i tried to post got deleted (and it was a looong one) i couldn’t find the time or the patience to sit down and write a good one. but i feel it now and i’m ready to type my life away. we have zero press today — and as usual, no soundcheck! which on any normal occasion would bug me but since i stay hoarse all the time i have no desire to “pre-sing” and use up what voice i have to an empty room! so, with all that said… i have time to just relax and sit in front of my beautiful macbook pro and enjoy the wonders that are the inter-web. the last week and half was so crazy.. between mtv unplugged, all kinda on camera interviews, album artwork approvals and video discussions (which are still in progress, sorta) – i’m so excited to just sit down and sip this bottle of water with no interruptions.

oh and i almost forgot! the announcement of the album title, album cover and release date! we are so excited you guys seem to be into it. ryan russell did such a good job with artwork – the whole booklet looks amazing and we really worked hard to make it exactly how we wanted. most of the shots for the album were taken in franklin and even in some of my rooms – and backyard! the whole thing feels very personal and i think it comes across that way. for the record, all of the lyrics will be in the booklet this time around. we realized after only putting 4 songs in the RIOT! booklet that we really want you to be able to read every word straight from us. so there aren’t any misinterpretations. every bit of these lyrics are so important to me as a writer and to us as a band, so you’ll have em as soon as you pick up the record and tear off the dumb plastic annoying wrapper. aside from the actual record i think the deluxe package will rule too. we tried really hard to give you guys as much as possible without having a ridiculous price that no one could afford. overall, i’m really proud of all the art and all the work that went into putting all the pieces together that are gonna make up brand new eyes. that’s all i’ve got to say about that. sorry for the commercial.

so let’s talk MTV unplugged for a minute. that was the coolest thing we’ve ever done. thank you guys who came out and sang along. i couldn’t believe how many people they let in! it was around 100, we were told… and it felt even bigger. people were singing their hearts out. i felt like chris carrabba! remember the dashboard confessional unplugged? i still listen to that and get all teary eyed. everyone knew “Ignorance” — almost as well as any of the other songs. and it was nice to finally let everyone hear “Brick By Boring Brick” since there was such speculation of how it would sound. i think it’s one of my favorites on the whole album. i’m so ready for you guys to hear it all. the best thing about MTV unplugged was the fact that we got to take our time. it’s been a while since we’ve had nothing but time with the people that come out to see us play. between every song there were conversations and interactions… and it meant so much to us… to be that close to everyone and to listen to what you had to say and be able to talk back without time limits or weird regulations. we try to get that feeling in meet and greets but even that is hard to come by on this tour with the fact that it’s not really our tour. in any case, we are stoked to get to hang with you all at any chance we get. we were all noticing the other day how much we’ve all grown up together. it feels like, for the most part, our fan base is growing up with us. especially those of you who we’ve seen coming out to our shows for years – whether we met at a meet and greet or just see you in the front row every time we’re in your town… it is insane knowing that you guys are going through the same things that we are and you get it when we write these songs. and you are passionate about it just like we are. and anyways, that’s what unplugged did for our band. got us thinking about all these things and how connected we feel with you guys even if you don’t always know it.

the video should rule.. we are getting things together for all of that now. i guess we’ll have time to shoot it while we’re in LA at the end of the month. i’m ready to do this thing. another thing i want to do while we’re in LA is go to Michael Jackson’s star on the walk of fame. i keep seeing all of these specials airing on television… with all the clips from his videos and interviews… i still can not believe he’s not here. i think he was one of those people and entertainers that i thought would always be around. not that i feel like i took him for granted but… i’ve always listened to him. for as long as i can remember, wether it was the jackson 5 or his solo records. i bought his last solo record when i moved to nashville and it was one of those records that defined the first couple of months that i was there. i bought the dvd of all of his videos and would just leave it playing in the house while i pretended to clean up my room and the living room. never did cause i’d just be dancing around like a lunatic, instead. anyways, i never said much about it after posting something small on twitter… mostly because i don’t really know what i could say that will really say what i feel about it. michael jackson only happens once. there will never ever be another! i’m so inspired by the life he led through his music and the way he changed people by using the gifts he was given. it just further confirms my love and dedication to what i do and the fact that music is the most powerful thing on this whole earth.

i just realized what time it is. i gotta get ready for meet and greet! thanks again to all of you for coming to see us and being so supportive. see you at the show!!!

love,
hayley!

Fueled By Ramen recording group Paramore has announced details of their hugely anticipated new album. “brand new eyes” will land in stores and at all online retailers on September 29th.

Produced by Grammy Award-winner Rob Cavallo (Green Day, Kid Rock, My Chemical Romance) and co-produced by the band, “brand new eyes” is the long-awaited follow-up to 2007’s RIAA platinum certified second album, “RIOT!” The 11-track collection is unquestionably Paramore’s best and brightest album to date, fit to burst with all the exuberant melodies, breathless hooks, and irrepressible energy that has made the Nashville-based band one of the most popular rock outfits in recent memory (see attached tracklisting).

“brand new eyes” will be preceded by the first single, “Ignorance,” which is slated to hit Alternative Rock outlets nationwide in early July. A digital single will be available via all DSPs on July 7th. A companion video for “Ignorance” is now in pre-production and will premiere in August.

Pre-orders for ‘brand new eyes” will also begin on July 7th, with the physical edition on sale at the Grammy-nominated band’s official website, www.paramore.net. Two versions of the album will be available, a standard CD edition as well as a limited edition deluxe package. The deluxe version is limited to 15,000 pieces and includes the album on CD, a 40-page hardcover journal with Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams’ handwritten lyrics and notes on the album, a color vinyl 7” single with four acoustic songs, a DVD featuring an exclusive making-of documentary (with interviews, behind-the-scenes footage, plus rare band vignettes from www.paramore.net), a 16-page full-color booklet, an exclusive Paramore poster, five limited edition collectible Paramore photos printed on hardstock paper, and a numbered certificate of authenticity. The “brand new eyes” deluxe version will come packaged in an extraordinary special edition box and will only be available via www.paramore.net.

The #1 most trafficked website across all Warner Music Group artists, and the official home for all things Paramore, www.paramore.net, will be completely renovated to celebrate the release of “brand new eyes,” with a major relaunch slated for July 28th.

Paramore is currently introducing fans to some of their new material as the main support act on No Doubt’s eagerly awaited reunion tour. The North American trek is criss-crossing the continent now, culminating in a three-night finale at Irvine, California’s Verizon Wireless Amphitheater on July 31st, August 1st, and August 2nd (see attached itinerary). Upon the tour’s conclusion, Paramore will perform at the Summer Sonic Festival in Japan before embarking on their own U.S. headline tour, slated to hit smaller clubs and ballrooms across the country as a special celebration for their fervent fan following. They will then return to mainland Europe and the United Kingdom for a headline tour. Full details will be announced shortly.

In addition, Paramore are also set to star in their own edition of MTV Unplugged. The band will film the acoustic performance at a New York City studio later this month, with an airdate currently planned for mid-September (check local listings).

sorry i took forever to update! i had this whoooole post written out, then our internet got screwed and i lost everything i wrote. so here’s a much smaller version of what i’d originally intended to post. another update will be up soon to make up for my laziness today!

so i realized earlier that it’s been a long time since we posted personal pics that we’ve taken from the road. here are some photos from our last late night Wally World (that’s Wal Mart if you’re not from the dirrty south) stop.
we love being back out on the road. thanks again to everyone who’s come out or is planning on coming to a show!

EVERYONE!!!! The members of Paramore have a special announcement to make: We recognize the fact that it’s way overdue. Oh well. Today is the day. The four of us (Hayley, Zac, Josh and Jeremy) are proud to announce that Taylor York, a touring member of Paramore for over 2 years, is now an official member of the band!

In case you don’t know…and you probably don’t…Taylor has been around since the very early days of Paramore. Perhaps even before we began. He actually helped write some of our “fan-favorite” songs such as “Conspiracy” off our debut record, All We Know Is Falling and “That’s What You Get” from RIOT! So as you can see, there really isn’t anyone else we could find who would fit in quite the same.

So, without further ado, we give you… the newest and final addition to Paramore: TAYLOR BENJAMIN YORK :l

In het kort:
Taylor York hoort nu officieel bij de band!

Paramore are making good progress on their much anticipated third studio album.

The band are working on the as yet untitled follow-up to 2007’s Riot! in LA with producer Rob Cavallo [My Chemical Romance, Green Day, Avril Lavigne].

“We’re a week into tracking this record,” wrote frontwoman Hayley Williams in a blog post. “Tonight we finished the fourth song and Zac [Farro, drums] tracked drums to the fifth so things are moving really quickly.

“We’re actually doing a song at a time, which we’ve never done before,” continued Williams. “I really like how it’s coming together. It’s nice to be able to start a song and focus on it all the way through until it’s complete. Or at least 95% complete!”

“Without making this into some kind of unofficial press release I’m so excited about the songs we have,” she added. “I can’t wait to tour with them… for you guys to hear [them]. I was really nervous for a long time about what songs we’d write and how we’d come across this time around but now listening back to what we’ve gotten done, my worries are gone! It feels great to really love what we’re doing.”

Kort samengevat, en in het Nederlands, staat hier dat ze hard aan het werken zijn voor het derde studioalbum. Ze nemen één lied per keer op, en Hayley kan niet wachten om ze te spelen op tournee.

Hayley is te vinden in de nieuwe clip van New Found Glory, genaamd “Listen to your friends”. Ze staat in het publiek. Zie hier de video:

Op Ultimate-Guitar.com kun je nu een interview met Josh vinden. Hier kun je hem ook bekijken. Het gaat vooral over hem en zijn gitaren.
