Album review: Paramore - 'Brand New Eyes'
You can see it in the pointed use of lower case lettering in the album title on the artwork, in the cruelly dismembered and mounted butterfly on the cover and in the tormented song titles – ‘Turn It Off’, ‘Ignorance’, ‘Playing God’....
Live Review: Paramore
Working out the optimum time to arrive at a gig is a delicate science. Basically, you want to miss the shocking support band but arrive with enough time to get pleasantly half-cut at the bar. The Paramore crowd have evidently been skipping this...
