Paramore Band • Page 86

I remember Pressure coming out and its music video, and thinking the iconic backroll during the final chorus was the coolest thing in the world. But I was only a mild fan of them back then, mostly just jamming the singles, and then years later coming back and listening to Conspiracy and going wtf why did I overlook the non-singles

 

I forgot about street teams. Does anyone still do that?!

 

New episode of Hayley's show is up. Today, she talked a bit about the upcoming album. Here's most of what she said:

BBC Sounds Mixes - Everything is Emo, Across The Pond



Also, I missed posting about last week's episode. It was hosted by Tegan from Tegan & Sara - BBC Sounds Mixes - Everything is Emo, Special guest Tegan from Tegan and Sara

 

Post punk era Paramore incoming

 

Wow fuck yes give me bloc party influenced Paramore

 

Never really cared for Bloc Party, but am definitely curious

 

I don't know why but as soon as they mentioned bringing back louder guitar work, I thought Paramore going in a dance rock/punk direction could be a fever dream, and that a song like "Fast In My Car" would be a good template for that. Now that they name dropped Bloc Party, I feel like my prediction is coming true and that excites me even more!!

 

Same here. I think they could nail the guitar driven post-punk/new wave/indie rock sound.

Fast In My car also rules. Love that too. My second favorite from them.

 

Bloc Party/Paramore tour. Let’s do it.

 

I am... very excited to hear this

 

this would be the ideal

also if anyone hasn't listened to bloc party's new record alpha games you really really should. it's quite good

 

Silent Alarm and Four are my go-tos. Especially Four.

 

The last time I heard "Bloc Party" used in a sentence, I thought they were a boring indie band.

Just listened to this and I am in if Paramore is recreating this energy:

 

Bloc Party slapped

 

Gimme something like this

 

The first two Bloc Party records are so special to me that anything after hasn’t quite hit as hard but this is still a very interesting direction for Paramore.

Another one for the uninitiated:

 

The guy's voice isn't my thing, it's weird I think it's cool and want to like it but my ears are just like nah thanks for that retro-British vocal sound. That style with Hayley's voice I think will rule though and it's a pretty logical direction from After Laughter.

 

Yeah this is a lot more like a progression from After Laughter than I was expecting than when they were talking about heavier and returning to rock / punk music.

Excited to hear this.

 

YESS a Bloc Party inspired album has got me so hyped.

Their new album is a serious return to form. But no question Silent Alarm is their best

 

New episode of Everything Is Emo is streaming.

BBC Sounds Mixes - Everything is Emo, The Softer Side

 

Good choice of Julien song

 

Damn I need to get back into Eisley. Too good.

 

Jeeze, Hayley really likes Keane, huh? Never heard of them. Like what I heard on her show though!

 

Keane has some bangers

 

I'm definitely going to check them out in the future, I love what I heard
