Paramore is an American rock band formed in Franklin, Tennessee, in 2004. Since 2017, the band’s lineup includes lead vocalist Hayley Williams, lead guitarist Taylor York, and drummer Zac Farro. Williams and Farro are founding members of the group, while York, a high school friend of the original lineup, joined in 2007. Williams is the only member to appear on all six of Paramore’s studio albums.
The band was signed to Fueled by Ramen, a subsidiary of Atlantic Records (which is owned by Warner Music Group.) Williams was signed to Atlantic separately, as she was scouted when she was a teenager. They were the only label to let her stay in the band instead of going solo, but Atlantic said the rest of the band had to sign to Fueled by Ramen.[1] The group’s debut album, All We Know Is Falling (2005), reached number 30 on Billboard‘s Heatseekers Chart in 2006 and number four on the UK Rock Chart in 2009.
