The group released their debut album All We Know Is Falling in 2005, and their second album, Riot! in 2007, which was certified Platinum in the US and Gold in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the UK. Brand New Eyes, Paramore's third album, was released on September 29, 2009. Brand New Eyes is the band's highest charting album to date.
Formation of Paramore:
The seeds of Paramore were sown when 13-year-old Hayley Williams moved from Mississippi to Franklin, Tennessee. There she met brothers Josh and Zac Farro. The Farro brothers asked Williams to join their band, and, with the addition of Jason Bynum on guitar and Jeremy Davis on bass, the group began looking for gigs. Throughout 2004 the band began building their buzz in Nashville. Their first real break occurred when Fueled By Ramen founder John Janick spotted them at a gig in Florida and decided to sign them to his label.
History of the Band:
The band's last 2007 album RIOT! has sold over two million copies worldwide, the group was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2008 for "Best New Artist" and even their live CD/DVD The Final Riot! has gone gold. However while these statistics are impressive, record sales have never been the driving force behind Paramore and that fact has never been as evident as it is on the group's highly anticipated third full-length brand new eyes. In fact, as excited as this group of young adults from Franklin, Tennessee are to have had the opportunity to tour with their heroes like Jimmy Eat World and No Doubt over the past few years, they seem even more ecstatic to share brand new eyes with the world. "I hope that every record is a progression for us, but this one is definitely a huge leap from RIOT!," the band's front woman Hayley Williams explains. "I just can't wait to get back on the road and start playing these new songs live."
