There was a big deal lately about the band "Paramore," I will admit, I am a huge fan of these guys (and gal) and I am glad to hear the rumor has been put to rest. The band recently had to cancel a couple tour dates that (of course) led to speculation about something big going on in the band. The band is not breaking up, and Hayley did not get the pregerz. This is an amazing reflection on our imagination if you ask me. they cancel a few shows and everyone thinks it's something big.

"Paramore" is a must for everyone. They are truly one of the best bands out there right now, and it is no surprise they are growing as quickly as they are. The have solid lyrics backed by absolutely amazing vocals, and energetic and talented guitar parts. They are 1 of the top ten most energetic bands (according to this humble critique) and are must see live. Do everything within your power to get a hold of these guys, and bask in the glory that is "Paramore."

I was looking for something new this week and i happened to find a real gem. I don't usually go for the whole British Pop scene, but Kate Nash just made it work for me. I'm a sucker for a good singer, and even this one was the proverbial "diamond in the rough." Her accent does come through fairly thick, so if that bothers you then I would advise you try Regina Spektor, And if you like Regina, you must check out this one. The worst part about this one is the lyric writing. Don't get me wrong, I've heard worse, but it could certainly be better.

It would appear that "Red Jumpsuit Apparatus" is going on tour this April. If you have not heard anything and want to check them out, do it but don't be excited about it. They are a good band, but they lack anything that sets them apart from the rest of the rock world. They are a solid band and their songs are enjoyable, but if you are looking for something that will take your breath away, look elsewhere.
