Where to start with Pale Waves, whether you want synth-pop, alt-rock or love songs
Pale Waves’ four albums offer different ways in, from 80s-informed synth-pop to electric-guitar catharsis and romantic indie-pop.
Paramore is an American rock band formed in Franklin, Tennessee, in 2004. The band’s lineup has included lead vocalist Hayley Williams, lead guitarist Taylor York, and drummer Zac Farro since 2017. Williams and Farro are founding members, while York joined in 2007. The group was signed to Fueled by Ramen, a subsidiary of Atlantic Records. Williams was signed to Atlantic separately and was allowed to stay in the band when she was scouted as a teenager; Atlantic required the rest of the band to sign to Fueled by Ramen. Their debut album, All We Know Is Falling, was released in 2005 and reached number 30 on Billboard’s Heatseekers Chart in 2006 and number four on the UK Rock Chart in 2009. Their second album, Riot!, released in 2007, achieved mainstream success with singles such as 'Misery Business,' 'Crushcrushcrush,' and 'That’s What You Get.' Riot! was certified Platinum in the United States, and the band received a Best New Artist nomination at the 2008 Grammy Awards.
