Paramore BiographyAlthough their spunky
blend of emo-pop and anthemic rock eventually made them stars on both sides of

Hayley Williams met brothers Josh and Zac Farro after moving to town from
Mississippi. The two Farros had a band that the 13 year-old singer was asked to
join, and guitarist Jason Bynum and bassist Jeremy Davis soon climbed aboard to
complete Paramore's lineup. Local hangouts and a school talent show helped the
young bandmembers hone their chops before graduating to higher-level gigs at
area rock clubs. The quintet's pop-influenced melodies and earnest charisma --
not to mention Williams .
