50+ years on The ARC Weekly Top 40 and Billboard Hot 100, and

a definitive list that will continue to expand as we add to it,

Paramore hail from
Tennessee and consist of Hayley Williams on lead
vocals and keyboards, Josh Farro on guitar and
vocals, Jeremy Davis on bass, and Zac Farro on
drums. Paramore began after Williams moved from
Mississippi to Tennessee and met the Farro
brothers at a private school. Williams also
became involved with a band called 'The Factory'
with Davis. The 4 of them eventually formed
Paramore in 2004 along with Jason Bynum on rhythm
guitar. Within a few years, Paramore began
gaining a loyal following and hitting the
mainstream by 2007 with their hit "Misery Business" followed soon with a
Grammy nomination.
July: Prior to recording All
We Know Is Falling, Davis left the group for personal
reasons and the impact of his departure was
evident in the concept of the LP, many of the
songs, and its cover art. John Hembree joined the
group on bass to replace Davis - but 5 months
after leaving, Davis returned to the group,
Hembree left, . Hunter Lamb replaced Bynum on
guitar.
