Paramore: 'We realised this band isn't worth risking our health for' (The Guardian)

One of the most influential bands of their generation, the pop-punk pioneers were nearly torn apart by infighting and industry sexism.

“After 15 to 20 years of fighting like a bunch of brats in front of the world, you eventually learn some coping skills and communication methods,” says Williams. This Is Why is the last album they’re contracted to deliver on the deal that Williams signed as a teenager. “Only now that we’ve felt lighter about the band, it’s like I don’t feel defined by that song,” says Williams. Sometimes the first day back can be demoralising, says York, but yesterday felt like “flipping on the switches in the cockpit”. “We all went through this crazy shit and people are still not kind out there in the world,” she laments. “It was more in the air we grew up in.” “Zac and I are still learning a lot about this,” says York. “I don’t want to do the work to think about people as nuanced figures. A lot of people feel conviction; they aren’t speaking out because they’re trying to do the wrong thing.” “It felt really important for us to be home while so much crazy shit was happening.” They were able to add a community dimension to their lives, too – speaking up, marching and working with local organisations. Zac and Hayley both needed to know that I wanted to do this.” “I wanted to explore some deeper parts of myself and figure out why we do this, how it happened,” he says.

[The three-piece are currently gearing up to release ‘This Is Why’](https://www.nme.com/news/music/paramore-announce-new-album-this-is-why-and-share-title-track-3318905), their first album since ‘After Laughter’, on February 10, 2023. “When it came back to doing [Paramore] again, I was able to say confidently, let’s do it. Recalling how he learned of the death of a family friend during a video shoot for a single from the album, guitarist Taylor York said: “I just started bawling. “I’m a very introverted person and I have a passion and career that’s at odds with that,” he added. I didn’t know I had this capacity until that moment.

To both Jack and Hayley found it.” I needed to know that I wanted to do this.” “I wanted to explore some of the darker parts of myself and find out why we do this, how it happened,” he says. All the while, Williams and corkscrew-twisting, introverted guitarist Taylor York, 32, who joined in 2007, continued to go on fearlessly, emphasizing that the band had never been stronger. The dropout usually put Williams out of the way: his only name on the record contract he had signed as a teenager, though he always fought for Atlantic to be a band for Paramore, was never a splendid one. Williams estimates she has “twenty days” to go, her peachy hair covered with a hat that says “All in a Dream.” “I am frightened!” They’re Getting Limited: Drummer Jack Farrow, 32, whose bold mustache contrasts with his beloved shyness, humming the band’s heaviest songs. Recently, he shot a video for his comeback single, This Is Why, and the jagged, sharp song wreaked havoc on his joints.

Zac Farro says that his former Paramore bandmate's comments have put a "strain" on their relationship.

[Josh Farro had made shocking comments](https://www.popbuzz.com/music/artists/paramore/news/hayley-williams-josh-farro-homophobic/) online that compared homosexuality to paedophilia. A lot of people feel conviction; they aren’t speaking out because they’re trying to do the wrong thing." You learn it the hard way sometimes." It’s definitely put a strain on the relationship but I actually think it’s been for the better recently". He added: "You can’t really be mad at that person – that’s what they chose. In 2010, Josh and Zac Farro famously left the band, leaving Hayley, Taylor York and Jeremy Davis as the remaining three members.

"It’s been tough. The former band member wrote that paedophilia is "not a preference it's a perversion just like homosexuality".
