Paramore’s emo/punk rock has enthralled fans for the last few years, as the group has toured the festivals making a name for themselves. The group has managed to grow from a funk cover band in Franklin, Tennessee to a group on the verge of breaking out all over the world. The band is already on tickets with acts like John Mayer and Phantom Planet and festivals like Vans Warped Tour and Summerfest, and is set to establish itself as a headlining act.

Paramore began slowly over the course of three years in Franklin, Tennessee. First, lead singer Hayley Williams moved to town and began taking voice lessons. Then she was in a funk cover band with bassist Jeremy Davis. Next, brothers and lead guitarist and a drummer Josh and Zac Farro got over their hesitance to join a group with a girl as the lead singer. Last, neighbor Jason Bynum was added on rhythm guitar.
The long journey led to selling tickets at festivals around Nashville and the South. Paramore was discovered in 2005, three years after the events started that would form the group. John Janick saw the group perform at the Taste of Chaos festival and after hearing them at a private concert in a warehouse in Orlando, he signed the group to his label, Fueled by Ramen.
Paramore’s schedule became increasingly hectic, as the members recorded their debut album in Orlando and continued to play on major festival circuits with dates scheduled around the nation, like the Vans Warped Tour.
Paramore released their debut album, All We Know Is Falling, in July of 2005, but found limited success in the States. That changed when they crossed the Atlantic and began to play throughout the UK. The group became a favorite of several British music magazines and saw their sales of tickets and albums increase as they toured.
The band returned to the studios in 2007 after opening for groups like Amber Pacific and The Lashes in 2006. Paramore survived through controversy over son choices and the sex of their lead singer and eventually came back together with its original lineup in tact, minus Jason Bynum, after several band alterations.
The second studio album, Riot!, brought Paramore closer to national fame as it went gold in the U.S. and the UK. Paramore still remained on tickets as a supporting act though, as they continued to build a fan base to become a headlining act. The Ticket Specialists have had tickets to their shows in the past and will continue to provide seats to concerts and tours in the future.
