Paramore Inspired Lynn Gunn to Form PVRIS
. Gunn says it was seeing the power of Hayley Williams that immediately resonated with her. "You see someone else doing that up there and you're like, 'I could do that, she's just like me,'" Gunn says. "That was a realization point, because she was a young girl'just going up and completely killing it. I can do that if I want to." Several years later, Gunn is now fronting her own band PVRIS (pronounced "Paris"), alongside Alex Babinski and Brian MacDonald, two musicians she met through the local music scene in Lowell, Mass. Banding together to "write really cool music," Gunn says the trio quickly became the Three Musketeers. Last month, PVRIS released their debut album White Noise. At first listen, it is easy to hear the Paramore influence. But diving into the lyrics, this is where PVRIS set themselves apart. Gunn admits that being drawn to the paranormal is what influences the pictures she paints within her lyrics, the diction and the word choices. "The actual things behind the stories and behind the lyrics had a lot to do with�I hate saying depression, but there was a really rough patch in my head and really difficult time and I didn't know why," she confesses. "A lot of the ghosts that appeared in the record is a metaphor for that depression at that time in my head and all the things going on in it. It's mainly about that, and there's little things here and there about certain people." Read more here. Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
