Paramore
Paramore came together as teenagers in Franklin, Tennessee, and by the time singer Hayley Williams was still in high school they had a record deal and a sound that mixed punk speed with big pop hooks. "Misery Business" made them one of the biggest rock bands of the late 2000s, and instead of staying put they kept changing, folding new wave, funk, and art-pop into later records while Williams's voice stayed the constant at the centre.

RIOT! (2007). Their second album is where everything clicked. It has "Misery Business," "That's What You Get," and "crushcrushcrush," and the whole thing is fast, catchy, and full of the energy that made them famous.
Biography
Paramore is an American rock band formed in Franklin, Tennessee, in 2004. Since 2017, the band's lineup has included lead vocalist Hayley Williams, guitarist Taylor York, and drummer Zac Farro. Williams and Farro are the founding members of the group, while York, a high school friend of the original lineup, joined in 2007.
The band was signed to Fueled by Ramen, a subsidiary of Atlantic Records. Williams was signed to Atlantic separately, as she was scouted when she was a teenager. They were the only label to let her stay in the band instead of going solo, but Atlantic said the rest of the band had to sign to Fueled by Ramen. The group's debut album, All We Know Is Falling (2005), reached number 30 on Billboard's Heatseekers Chart in 2006 and number four on the UK Rock Chart in 2009.
The band's second album, Riot! (2007) became a mainstream success thanks to the success of the singles "Misery Business", "Crushcrushcrush", and "That's What You Get". The album was certified Platinum in the US and the band received a Best New Artist nomination at the 2008 Grammy Awards.
