Hayley Williams caught the attention of many in the music industry with her bright red hair and incredible ability to hold her own as a female in the rock ‘n’ roll industry.
Paramore is an American rock band from Tennessee and came together back in 2004. The band currently consists of Hayley Williams, bassist, Jeremy Davis and guitarist, Taylor York.
The band has gone through a few changes but the core of their music has always stayed the same. The most recent single from Paramore, “Still Into You,” has topped the charts and shown a softer side to Williams. Upon that success, Paramore is currently celebrating a new album and a tour.
