The band’s first all-new release in more than three years, PARAMORE marks the eagerly anticipated follow-up to 2009’s RIAA gold-certified, BRAND NEW EYES. The album, Paramore’s fourth full-length studio recording, was produced by Grammy-nominated producer Justin Meldal-Johnson, known for his work with such diverse artists as Beck, Nine Inch Nails, Tegan and Sara, and M83. The first single from PARAMORE is entitled ‘Now’.

Paramore, singer Hayley Williams, bassist Jeremy Davis, and guitarist Taylor York – first unveiled the news via a personal blog announcement at the band’s official website www.paramore.net.

“The whole making of this album was a rediscovering of ourselves as a band and as friends,” the band wrote. “It was a process that allowed us the freedom to explore new territory artistically and to liberate ourselves as musicians, singers, as people! Sincerely, we feel that the best way to give it a name is just to call it what it is. This album is us.” (full blog post – http://bit.ly/SACUMi)
