SPIN Magazine Article
This article is from about a month ago, but I still thought it was worth posting. It’s from the Spin Magazine website. There are also some pretty awesome pictures that were posted with the article. :] I’ll add them to the gallery now.
Joining the likes of Death Cab for Cutie and Wolfmother before them, Franklin, TN’s punk mavens Paramore were honored last night (March 27) at Hard Rock’s state-of-the-art flagship venue in Orlando, FL with the rock’n'roll establishment’s highest respect: The Hard Rock Artist of the Year Award.
As 2008’s recipient of the esteemed prize, Paramore were presented with a glass-encased photo of the band on the cover of this year’s Hard Rock Annual, courtesy of Hard Rock president and CEO Hamish Dodds. In thanks, Paramore offered a smashed guitar and microphone to Hard Rock’s memorabilia collection, both which will be displayed at the Hard Rock Cafe in Nashville.
Once the formalities were said and done, it was time to celebrate; after a slice of cake, Paramore, led by pixie-like frontwoman Hayley Williams, stormed the stage and busted out a set of tunes off the band’s latest album, Riot!, to a packed-to-capacity crowd of over 3,000. And as fans sang along to each and every word, it was proof-positive that Paramore certainly deserved the revered nod.

– Also, as Hayley mentioned in her last LiveJournal post, a metal band called Sea Of Treachery (myspace.com/seaoftreachery) covered Paramore’s hit song, “Misery Business”. I personally think it sounds REALLY good. Here’s the clip (synced with the original music video). You can also listen to the song on Sea Of Treachery’s MySpace.
– A tad bit old, but here’s an article from BuzzNet, including an interview with none other than Hayley and Jeremy! Click here for the article.

Sea of Treachery’s cover of “Misery Business” IS better than the original version. Faces will be melted. Floors will be punched. Change will be picked up. Limbs dismembered.
but really, this is just a note to the dudes in the band:
Thanks, guys, for taking the time to cover a Paramore song. For whatever reason you did, I’m siked. (edit: it’s just easier to spell it this way haha) to hear it covered by a band in a totally different scene. It rules. The gang vocals at the end of the bridge is an amazing addition. I must admit, I was expecting a change up in the guitar solo but sticking with the original is fine by me. Good luck on the road and with the release of the new record.
Everyone: Sea of Treachery’s ‘At Dagger’s Drawn’ comes out April 29th. Do it, to it.
love,
h-bomb

melancholy.
we are in springfield, missouri. just left bass pro shop/outdoor world. today is one of those days, where i feel like if i were at home, in franklin… i’d just want to lay around all day like a sloth. watch a few movies, maybe grab starbucks down the street and bring it back home. maybe cook something??? okay, yeah… probably not. it’s just one of those days. instead, however, i’m sitting around on the bus. talledega nights is on the television in the front lounge and i’m in the back lounge listening to it and watching people walk on and off the bus. is this an exciting story or what?
we don’t play missouri too often. i’m excited to see how the show goes. the venue is really nice… big, as most of them have been, recently. it’s definitely weird playing these half-arenas. (”i never realized how easy it was to half an arena with a machete…” sorry. just a quick ‘Walk Hard’ reference). lately, i’ve really missed those 300-400 cap rooms. heck, even smaller than that. pontiac grille, anyone? or what about the new brooklyn tavern? i think about those shows every night when we’re playing. especially when asking how many people in the crowd have never seen us before. some of these kids are seeing us play for the first time in these huge halved arenas. how crazy is that? it’s not sad… really, although some people might think so. it’s actually pretty ridiculous, haha. they must think we are big time, or something. all this is to say, i can’t really believe where we are right now. it’s weird that i almost forgot where it started. that’s why we had to go home for a whole month and just get away from the hype. we can’t forget where it started… you know? when we do, it’s just pointless.
every band i’ve ever loved, i always saw in really small clubs. other than when i saw coldplay in ‘03 at the reiman auditorium. i don’t know really what it’s like to one day be one person out of 10 at a show and then next thing you know, be wrestling kids to get to the front in some half arena. the closest thing i know to that is seeing coheed in ‘03 at the Muse, then Rocketown in ‘04 (with AFI and Thursday!!!) and then seeing them the past couple years at the warped tour… playing to huge crowds. but at that point, our band had tour passes so i really didn’t have to work that hard to see their set. i really don’t know what it’s like to follow a band the way some of you have followed us and worked hard to stay connected with us as we’ve tried to stay connected with you. so, thank you guys… for sticking with us. hangin in the long ass lines. everything. it’s awesome. and if you are just now getting into all of this, welcome and thank you too, for all the support and enthusiasm you’ve shown.
this was almost a pointless post… but i feel really good about it.
these kind of days are really good, sometimes 
ps. dear and the headlights are amazing.
