American rock band formed in Franklin, Tennessee, known for their energetic pop-punk and alternative rock sound, fronted by powerhouse vocalist Hayley Williams. Formed in 2004 by teenagers Hayley Williams, Josh Farro, Zac Farro, and Jeremy Davis, Paramore rose to fame with their platinum-certified album 'Riot!' (2007). Despite numerous lineup changes, they evolved from pop-punk origins to explore new wave and funk influences, winning a Grammy for 'Ain't It Fun' (2015) and maintaining relevance across decades.

• Original guitarist Jason Bynum left just before their debut album 'All We Know Is Falling' (2005), inspiring its theme of abandonment.
• Brothers Josh and Zac Farro dramatically quit in 2010, accusing Williams of being manipulated by management and claiming the band was a 'manufactured product'.
• Bassist Jeremy Davis sued the band in 2016 over royalties, settling out of court; his replacement was original drummer Zac Farro, who rejoined after a 6-year absence.
• Lead singer Hayley Williams battled severe depression during the making of 'After Laughter' (2017), channeling personal struggles into the album's juxtaposed upbeat sound and dark lyrics.
• The band went on hiatus in 2018 as Williams pursued solo projects but returned in 2022 with the critically acclaimed album 'This Is Why'.
