Warped 'til Wednesday

So I'll be out of town until late Wednesday or so. I'm headed down to spend some time with my friends who are spending the summer at the college I go to, and the big event in Atlanta that I've been waiting for is on Tuesday... Warped Tour. Warped Tour is a crazy epic concert which features mainly alternative bands, and I'm lucky enough to get the chance to go this year.

Unfortunately one of my absolute favorite bands won't be there this year for the first time since they've been a band. I can't blame them though. I mean when No Doubt wants you to go on tour with them for the summer you can't say no. That would be a sin or something. No I'm not talking about The Sounds. This is all about...

Paramore

I can't get enough of these guys. Every song they put out is amazing. Plus they're from Franklin, Tennessee which as an Alabama native is great to me. Haley Williams is another one of those great frontwomen out there in music. I haven't seen them in person, but from what I know she puts on one hell of a show. Brothers Josh and Zac Farro play guitar and drums, respectively. Jeremy Davis plays bass and new edition Taylor York roundsit out with rhythm guitar. These people work together and produce a wonderful pop punk sound. They were even nominated for a Grammy for "Best New Artist", but they lost to Amy Whinehouse. We see who's still around making music though.

Since I won't be posting for a couple of days I've decided that I'll pick a song from each of Paramore's albums plus their main song from Twilight. From their first album, All We Know is Falling, I've picked the song "Pressure." It was the first song of theirs I ever heard and they've had me hooked ever since. Funny story with this song too. I was watching the Fuse and saw the video and new the song was familiar for some reason. I really like it so I didn't think much of it except that I would keep Paramore in my mind. Then I went to play The Sims 2 and lo and behold a version of the song came playing through my game. Crazy awesome.

Next is from their album Riot!. It's the song "Misery Business." Great video that even my mom thought was amazing. If you're wondering what the song is about, Hayley Williams says it's about a friend of hers that she felt was being controlled by this girl and later Hayley started dating him and the song explains her story.

Last we've got "Decode" from the Twilight Soundtrack. When I heard teh song for the first time I think I was more excited by it than the movie itself. Williams specifically wrote the song for the movie and is actually a huge fan of the series herself.

Their third album Brand New Eyes is set to be released in September of this year, and if you're like me, you can't wait to hear what they have in store for us.
