Franklin, Tennessee, United States (2003 – present)

Paramore is an American pop rock band that formed in Franklin, Tennessee in 2004. Members are Hayley Williams (lead vocals/keyboards), Josh Farro (lead guitar/backing vocals), Jeremy Davis (bass guitar), Zac Farro (drums), and Taylor York (rhythm guitar).

The group released their debut album All We Know Is Falling in 2005, and their second album, Riot! in 2007, which was certified Platinum in the US and Gold in the UK, Ireland and New Zealand. Brand New Eyes, Paramore’s third album, was released on September 29, 2009. Brand New Eyes is the band’s highest charting album to date.

The band was officially formed by Josh Farro, Zac Farro, Jeremy Davis and Hayley Williams in 2004, with the later addition of Williams’ neighbor Jason Bynum (rhythm guitar). According to Williams, the name “Paramore” came from the maiden name of the mother of one of their first bass players. Once the group learned the meaning of the homophone paramour (“secret lover”), they decided to adopt the name, using the Paramore spelling.

In 2007, Hunter Lamb left the group to get married, and Paramore continued onward as a quartet. After touring with them for over 2 years, on June 15, 2009, Paramore announced that Taylor York has officially become a member of the band.
