(antiMusic) Elle.com recently caught up with Paramore for a Q&A session where they discuss a variety topics from the growth of the band, what inspires them and of course their new album "Brand New Eyes". Here are a couple excerpts from the article. [questions are in bold]What inspired "Ignorance"? Hayley: "Ignorance" was one of the first songs we completed start to finish. We had been sitting around our rehearsal space for hours, and Josh was really frustrated because I wanted something energetic to get us motivated. He was like, "Listen guys, we're never going to have another 'Misery Business'just get over it." He turns around for a second, and he's in his own little world, and he turns back and starts playing this riff. And I was like, "Well, what's that? Because that'll do just fine."
How has your sound evolved since you started out? Hayley: What's cool is that there is this core that's stayed the same. We play venues now that are a lot biggerour first show in New York was at the Continental, and some of the same kids who were there, which weren't many, are going to be in the front row tonight. And I think that now more than ever, you can hear each of our personalities coming through our music, and we're not really afraid of that. So if anything, it's a little more fearless, and I hope we continue to do that with every record.
