There’s not release date yet, or even a ballpark figure, but chances are they’ll at least wrap up work on it later this year. Now, Paramore is beginning to record music for the new album in California. We got to feel that feeling early on this time.” She added, “It was ‘Ain’t It Fun’ for our self-titled record, and ‘Hard Times’ or ‘Told You So’ for ‘After Laughter.’ It’s not about it feeling like a hit so much as it’s a scary, exciting feeling that you’re treading uncharted waters. I’m always waiting for the moment for us to know we’re onto something new and we’re not just rehashing the same s***.” “We kept joking it was all downhill from that point, but thank God we’ve been surprised a lot throughout this whole thing. “We wrote and tracked something we loved and it actually surprised us,” Williams said. As Hayley describes, with so much time apart, she was a bit nervous about how things would go, but the team’s chemistry and magic together was still enact. Paramore got back together last year and starting writing and jamming to the new songs at a Nashville studio. 1) More emphasis back on the guitar, and 2) Zac should go as ‘Animal’ as he wants with drum takes.” We’re still in the thick of it but some things have remained consistent from the start. “Our output has always been all over the place and with this project, it’s not that different. “The music we were first excited by wasn’t exactly the kind of music we went on to make,” she said. While Hayley says the album won’t be a “comeback emo record,” the band has been garnering inspiration from their early influences.
#PARAMORE THE BAND UPDATE#
The frontwoman discussed the progress of the new tunes via a recent email update with Rolling Stone, and she also foreshadowed what to expect, style wise, from the set. Williams and band members Taylor York and Zac Farro are currently working on a new album, and sessions are going well.

Then the fateful meeting that brought them all together was when Williams got to know Josh and Zac at a program for home-schooled kids. The Farro brothers previously played in a band with York, according to All Music, as did Davis and Williams play together for another band, The Factory (via Alternative Press). Members (both current and former) Josh Farro, Zac Farro, Hayley Williams, Taylor York, and Jeremy Davis were all friends who met in Tennessee and loved making music together, some even years before Paramore ever became a real thing. Born and raised in Mississippi, Williams moved to Franklin, Tennessee, at the age of 13. Paramore could easily fall into this category as well, but their story is more complicated than that because in some ways, the band had a very organic beginning.
