From their loud-and-proud mid-2000s debut all the way to their stint performing with Taylor Swift on her Eras Tour, Paramore’s pop-punk sounds have been a mainstay of the music scene for the last two decades. Songs like ‘Misery Business’, ‘Still Into You’, ‘Hard Times’ and ‘This Is Why’ demonstrate the band’s enduring ability to reinvent themselves and keep us on our toes with excellent tunes.
In this essential guide to the band, we’ll celebrate the continued rise of Hayley Williams, Taylor York and Zac Farro, and discover how they have shifted their sound from riotous emo-punk to their new alternative and dance-flavoured tunes. We’ll revisit every album in the back catalogue, relive the group’s defining moments, pay tribute to past members, highlight essential Paramore tracks and much more!
