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.

From Hayley Williams’ Coachella guest spot to Billie Eilish’s Paris cover of ‘The Only Exception’, the pair’s live connection has unfolded through a handful of specific shared songs.

You Me At Six deliberately returned to their emo roots on 2023’s ‘Truth Decay’. It gave the band a clearer identity after ‘SUCKAPUNCH’, while leaving open the question of how far backwards was too far.

From Coachella to Paris and Nashville, Billie Eilish, FINNEAS and Hayley Williams have built an onstage connection through different corners of Paramore’s catalogue.

Alex Lahey’s second album widened its pop-punk frame through changed structures, tunings and instrumental colour, while keeping everyday uncertainty at its centre.

PinkPantheress’s early songs made British dance music feel newly intimate, but their collage of emo, pop-punk, bedroom production and sharp lyrical contrasts was equally important.

Pale Waves’ four albums offer different ways in, from 80s-informed synth-pop to electric-guitar catharsis and romantic indie-pop.

Hayley Williams has honoured New Found Glory co-founder Chad Gilbert, reflecting on his influence on her life and her connection to hardcore.

Florence Road’s Phoebe Bridgers cover was a full-circle moment for a band who first found an audience through songs borrowed, then made their own.

Across debut-packed sets, carefully chosen guests and a Roundhouse show built around release rather than nostalgia, Hayley Williams gave her solo material its own room to breathe.

Paramore’s 2005 debut was not an immediate chart breakthrough. Touring, later success and listeners travelling back through the catalogue gave it a longer life.

Three artists have identified different lessons in Bloc Party: the freedom to reshape a band, songwriting built from rhythm, and guitars that need not stay in one lane.
