Paramore's Second Album - RIOT!

Advantages: Hayley Williams's Vocals, Excellent Instrumentals, Good variety
Disadvantages: Some songs not to everyone's taste

RIOT! - PARAMORE ALBUM Paramore are an American band featuring Hayley Wiliams (lead singer and song writer), Joshua Neil Farro (Guitar and song writer), Zachary Wayne Farro (Bass), Jeremy Clayton Davis (Drums) and would be categorised in the Pop Punk or Pop Alternative genres. I first discovered their music about half a year ago in the strangest of places. I was at a friend's house and we were playing Rock Band on the Xbox 360, which is the game involving a microphone, bass, guitar and drums whereby each player takes an instrument and tries to perform the songs by hitting, pressing and strumming, etc the coloured buttons on the instruments at the right time by following what they see on screen. The person holding the microphone would just need to sing but he/she would need to sing in tune, but anyway, whilst playing this game, I ...

Review of Riot - Paramore

Paramore Run Riot!

Advantages: An excellent album from a powerful female fronted band.
Disadvantages: Not a fan of female vocals? Stay well away.

2004 was the year that Paramore formed, the year later they released their début album 'All We Know Is Falling' through Fueled By Ramen records, and then their second album 'Riot!' appeared on the scene in 2007. 'Riot!' was recorded in New Jersey with the producer David Bendeth, an eleven track offering of utmost excellence. Paramore have come a long way as a band in their few years and this has to be seen as in no small part down to their gifted front woman Hayley Williams. The female vocalist has a lot of power and emotion in her voice, she conveys these qualities with great eloquence when she sings making Paramore a true force to be reckoned with. The album begins with 'For a Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic', a great title for a track; that's for sure. It starts the album brilliantly, kicks it off with real heartfelt vigour ...

Review of Riot - Paramore

The truth about Melody Browne

Advantages: A brilliant, thought-provoking read
Disadvantages: Hard to put down!

This is another fantastic book by Lisa Jewell. I have read some of her other work - such as Vince and Joy, 31 Dream Street, and Thirtynothing. This book begins with a prologue, which sees the main character, Melody, at the age of nine, outside her house which is burning down. Her parents are with her. The book then moves to the present day and each chapter then goes from the present day, back to when Melody was a young girl. It goes back and fore between the two. In the present day, Melody is 33 with a son, Edward, who is about to turn 18 (she had him at 15). She is a dinner lady at Edward's school, and she has just met Ben who asks her out on a date. She agrees to go and it changes her life forever. They go to see a hypnotist's show and when he calls her up on to the stage, she passes out, but later she finds herself ...
