Paramore's style of music is no different from other pop/punk bands, but what sets them apart is that the lead singer is a girl. And she's only 16! :o Her name is Haley, and even though she's going to be compared to Avril, I have to say Hayley is a much better singer. First single from their debut is "Pressure". www.purevolume.com/paramore

These guys reminded me of Flyleaf a little because I heard them first, but I've listened to their album and I have honestly been blown away. They have big potential to crossover.

Wow, only 16! I don't really hear the Avril Lavigne comparison, but I'm sure there will be a lot of people who will, because they can't stand one duplication of Avril, but can stand ten duplications of Usher.
This song is okay on first listen, it sounds kind of repetitive, but it will probably grow on me. Haley is hot! I love redheads! It's also good to see a band from Tennessee!
I think I like "Here We Go Again" and "Whoa" better.

This sounds more like Bif Naked.

As soon as I heard the opening line, I knew I had heard this before somewhere. Then, it hit me that its in the Sims 2 game I have for XBOX. They're not a bad band, but I think they'd do much better on Pop than on Alternative.

I've had their CD for some time now, I bought it for "Here We Go Again". Which I love hardcore. I heard "Pressure" on purevolume but it didn't really attract me. But I loved it once I heard it more. Does this go for adds soon?

So this won't get airplay?
That sucks, there are too many good bands that get overlooked. :(
