Only just heard their stuff, first song I heard was Misery Business and it rocked. Apparently they are a Christian band as well which surprised me because they are getting more mainstream. I then heard more and mroe of their songs from their album RIOT! and it just blew me away. They are probably one of my favourite bands at the moment.

Really? At first I liked Misery Business and liked it too, then I heard their other songs and were put off... I see the band as a one-trick pony...

Well, to be honest it took me a few listens to get into the other songs but yeah, I really liked them. Songs like, 'For a Pessimist I'm Pretty Optimistic', 'That's What You Get', 'Crushcrushcrush' and 'When It Rains'.

Paramore is definitely one of my favourites !
I just hate that they're getting more mainstream and suddenly everyone loves them cause they're on the radio.
Have you heard some of their older stuff? It's worth a listen..

Ummm 'Pressure' is probably my favourite of their old stuff.
I like the acoustic version better than the main one but both are pretty good. I guess it just depends on what floats your boat =]

Ooh and "All we know" is pretty awesome as well.

Actually, just check out the whole of their previous album "All we know is falling"

I like their older music more, but RIOT is still an awesome album [: I went to see them in October when they came to Australia. They are really good live.

'My Heart' off their older album is my favourite song ever!

Don't like the genre, but boy do their lyrics kick you.
Bolding parts that took me by surprise. Seriously I only listen to the song for the following lines:




I'm in the business of misery,
Let's take it from the top.
She's got a body like an hourglass that's ticking like a clock.
It's a matter of time before we all run out,
When I thought he was mine she caught him by the mouth.

I waited eight long months,
She finally set him free.
I told him I couldn't lie he was the only one for me.
Two weeks and we had caught on fire,
She's got it out for me,
But I wear the biggest smile.

[Chorus:]
Whoa, I never meant to brag
But, I got him where I want him now.
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now.
But god does it feel so good,
Cause I got him where I want him now.
And if you could then you know you would.

Cause god it just feels so...
It just feels so good.

Second chances they don't ever matter, people never change.
Once a whore you're nothing more, I'm sorry, that'll never change.
And about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchanged.
I'm sorry honey, but I'm passing up, now look this way.

Well there's a million other girls who do it just like you.
Looking as innocent as possible to get to who,
They want and what they like it's easy if you do it right.
Well I refuse, I refuse, I refuse!

[chorus]
Whoa, I never meant to brag
But, I got him where I want him now.
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now.
But god does it feel so good,
Cause I got him where I want him right now.
And if you could then you know you would.

Cause god it just feels so...
It just feels so good.

I watched his wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving you
Just watch my wildest dreams come true
Not one of them involving.

Same :eek:. I tend to listen to All We Know Is Falling (with 'My Heart' being the most played) more than the latest album.
They put on an amazing show in October!

I really like Crushcrushcrush! But I don't think they're a Christian Band - i mean they were accused of being blasphemous in Misery Business:

Hehe, I wasn't a fan initially, but yeah same deal, the lyrics are pretty well written and catchy!

I do prefer their older album after giving that a listen though.
