Paramore should have new music by the summer. Speaking from the Grammy Awards red carpet on Sunday, Feb. 13, 2011, frontwoman Hayley Williams told AOL Music. "We are going to go tomorrow to South America to do a tour. And then when we get back, we're hoping to record a batch of songs to release over the summer. All the details aren't worked out yet, but we definitely do want to release ['In the Mourning'] and some other ones before we put out a record."

Some early influences in art were people like Mark Gonzales and Neil Blender. In 2005 my personal life was not so good and not having money to pay the expensive London bills, I decided to try my luck back in Sweden and moved to Gothenburg, where I’ve been since....
Former Paramore guitarist Josh Farro made what is sure to be one of the stupider utterances of the year when he declared yesterday that he didn’t want to make his and his brother’s departure from the band into “this huge drama thing.”
It’s a bit late for that really isn’t it? If he’d wanted to leave discreetly without any fuss, then he wouldn’t have posted a multi thousand word blog post which fired off accusations like a machine gun. Farro’s targets included the band’s manager, singer (and his former girlfriend) Hayley Williams’ diva like status, their record label and Williams' blasphemous lyrics. ...
