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.

We Know Is Falling, Davis left the group for personal
