PARAMORE Announce Their First Australian Tour!

Official Press Release:

"…it's just all raw energy!" (Hayley Williams, Paramore)

Love, hate, lust, fear, pride and passion. Welcome to the world of Paramore!

Paramore, the rapidly emerging, attention-grabbing pop-punk quintet from Tennessee U.S., have

been building a near-deafening "next big thing" buzz. Driven by riveting live shows, inspiring

recordings and the undeniable charisma of 18-year-old frontwoman Hayley Williams, Paramore

community taking immediate notice. The New York Times and Spin Magazine hailed Hayley as a

star in the making. Struck by the band’s presence and dedication, Fueled By Ramen founder,

John Janick, signed the band in April 2005, joining the label’s already impressive roster

including The Academy Is…., Lifetime, Panic! At The Disco, Fall Out Boy and Gym Class Heroes.

Non-stop touring throughout 2006 combined with show-stealing festival performances at Purple

Door, Bamboozle and of course, their now regular appearance on the massive Warped tour,

continued to build the momentum. The year culminated with a sold-out headlining tour of North

America in Autumn of 2006, as well as successful tours of both Europe and Japan.

With their brand new album "Riot!", Paramore have confirmed that they have the talent, the

passion, and the tracks to take them to the top of the pile. The album is a declaration of

ambition, musical growth, and dedication and entered the Billboard 200 at number 20 and the

UK charts at number 24. In the US alone, the album has already reached a massive 100,000

sales! Here in Australia, "Riot!" was released to rave reviews with the hit single "Misery Business”

receiving massive radio play and delivering the band a plethora of new Australian fans.

"Next big things" come and go, but it is obvious that Paramore has something special – both

talent and staying power. Be sure to experience the passion and intrigue that is Paramore on

this, their first ever Australian tour!
