TENNESSEE’S TWILIGHT

TALENTS

Story By Jessica Bresnen Paramore are one of America’s new and upcoming bands who have became known for their aluminous hair coloured singer, Hayley Williams, and their new take on the pop punk genre.

The foursome who produce songs combining a mix of screeching guitars and Hayley’s undeniable knack for writing contemplative love songs are in the process of setting their final touches to their new album ‘Brand New Eyes’.

Despite the rumors of a split they are still going strong according to Hayley Williams who has dismissed reports the band is to split - despite cancelling the remainder of their European tour over “internal issues”. The 19-year-old singer posted a message, signed by all four band members, on her blog on Thursday announcing the group needed to take time off to work out their personal problems.

But Williams has since updated her blog, insisting

her comments were taken out of proportion. She writes, “Since we posted the last entry, we’ve gotten tons of phone calls and people posting things on Web sites saying that we are breaking up. I just want to make it clear, though... 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.”

And the flame-haired star has refuted allegations the tour cancellation was caused by her falling pregnant.

Williams adds, “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. Anyway, we just need to take time to make this band the best it can be... and we are doing that now.”

Paramore’s new album ‘Brand New Eyes’ is out September 29th 2009.
