It’s an honor to play with one of the most respected guitarists/songwriters of our time – it should be interesting to see how his crowd reacts to us! But we are so excited. -Josh Farro

Paramore has announced that they will be doing a headlining tour this summer with Jacks Mannequin, Phantom Planet, and Paper Route. You can check out the video announcement on their website.
Paramore can be seen performing live on Wal-Mart’s Soundcheck here. The band performs seven songs from their latest release RIOT and their first release All We Know.
Paramore recently stated in an interview that their new album may be a bit heavier. You can read a snippet from the interview below.
“We’re going back and forth, because there are so many things we want to accomplish as a band, and right now it’s all over the place,” she laughed. “We gotta get it focused. That’s part of the writing process. … I’m a big fan of a lot of heavier music. I’ve been listening to stuff like H20 and Set Your Goals’ new album, Mutiny! So there’s a lot of that. … We all listen to so much stuff.”
I have posted some new pictures of Jimmy Eat World, Paramore & Dear and the Headlights in the photos section. Head there to check them out.
Sea of Treachery has coverd Paramore‘s “Misery Business”. Check out the song on the bands MySpace page. Haley posted this response to the band.
Sea of Treachery’s cover of “Misery Business” IS better than the original version. Faces will be melted. Floors will be punched. Change will be picked up. Limbs dismembered.
but really, this is just a note to the dudes in the band:
Thanks, guys, for taking the time to cover a Paramore song. For whatever reason you did, I’m siked. (edit: it’s just easier to spell it this way haha) to hear it covered by a band in a totally different scene. It rules. The gang vocals at the end of the bridge is an amazing addition. I must admit, I was expecting a change up in the guitar solo but sticking with the original is fine by me. Good luck on the road and with the release of the new record.
Everyone: Sea of Treachery’s “˜At Dagger’s Drawn’ comes out April 29th. Do it, to it.
love,
h-bomb

Paramore have posted an update after rumors of a breakup followed their previous update. Check out what they had to say below.
hello everyone…
since we posted the last entry, we’ve gotten tons of phone calls and people posting things on websites saying that we are breaking up. i just want to make it clear, though, that by posting two nights ago we weren’t saying the band was over. we posted because we are going through hard times and we felt that because we have a really good support system in you guys, our fans, it would be better for us to just be honest about what’s going on – even though, it was a pretty vague explanation. man, some of the rumors that i’ve heard going around are insane! it’s weird how out of hand things can get even when you just try to tell a simple truth. (for the record, my eggo is not preggo). anyway, we just need to take time to make this band the best it can be… and we are doing that now.
thank you for all the love and the encouragement you guys have shown. and WE WILL! be seeing you guys on the 27th of March in Orlando, FLÂ
