Farro brothers leave Paramore

2010-12-18 by SaveYourBreath | 98 Comments
Alternative rock band Paramore have announced that brothers Zac (drums) and Josh Farro (guitar) have left the band with immediate effect.

The band posted the following message on their website: "Over the past 6 years, our band has been through some of the most intense and incredible experiences of our lives. None of these things have been without trial. We’ve worked so hard to get to where we are and the fact that you are all still here with us says something about you that we will never be able to truly understand. You have stuck with us through thick and thin and we are so grateful.

"A couple of months ago, Josh and Zac let us know they would be leaving the band after our show in Orlando last Sunday. None of us were really shocked. For the last year it hasn’t seemed as if they wanted to be around anymore. We want Josh and Zac to do something that makes them happy and if that isn’t here with us, then we support them finding happiness elsewhere. But we never for a second thought about leaving any of this behind.

"We really hope that you can be encouraged by the fact that the three of us who are still here are ready to take on another chapter of our journey together. You have always been what keeps us going so why would we stop now? We want to stick by you. Knowing that we have a unified passion and a clear vision makes us feel stronger than ever."

I don't really see this as being hugely worrying

They'll either find replacements and sound exactly the same, or Hayley will go solo......and sound exactly the same

Nobody cares unless it's about Hayley. Although I saw them live and the both of them were fucking spastic with their guitars.

Yeah this really isn't gonna make any difference at all, but to be fair, the drummer was the second most talented member of the band.

This is certainly an EMERGENCY. I guess THAT'S WHAT YOU GET when you are under all of that PRESSURE. Hayley Williams was most likely PLAYING GOD and making it MISERY BUSINESS.

Now they will have to rebuild the band BRICK BY BORING BRICK.

liking obviously shitty, juvenile, and generic pop-punk bands in addition to more serious post-rock and indie bands does not make one's tastes more diverse or interesting. it does not make you seem more down-to-earth or "real" that you are able to appreciate mainstream garbage on top of the more "artistic" music you listen to. it's not even a guilty pleasure

it's just this shit-eating, knowing irony that is supposedly OK with the fact that the songs are puerile and formulaic, and enjoys them nevertheless. and everybody who points out the fact that this music sucks just needs to "lighten up" or some lame shit

nobody on Sputnik REALLY likes this music, or if they do, they have the mind of a child

This was inevitable, I'm not a huge fan but I usually check out their albums they have a few catchy songs.

I guess they're a good compliment to the more serious bands I listen to, it makes my music taste more diverse and I don't mind saying I like paramore because I'm just one of those down-to-earth kind of guys.

I'm actually very upset about this, being a paramore fan. I thought they're a great band and it's defiantly a huge loss the josh and zac are leaving, since zac was actually, in my opinion, a great drummer, and josh was an important asset in the song writing department since he mostly co-wrote the bulk of the songs with hayley.
I'm not going to say paramore are original and the 'best band in the world', they're not. However they are my favorite band and i'll continue to support them and i wish josh and zac the best of luck with whatever they do.

@ Zanders

I never said they were quality. Read before you speak. He said people that like this music have the mind of a child. Which using deductive reasoning then interprets that since a lot of people like this band, a lot of people apparently have the mind of a child. Because the majority of America likes this band.

deductive reasoning? ok so let's draw this shit up

someone likes bands like Paramore ⊃ they have the mind of a child
the majority of America likes Paramore
⊢ the majority of America has the mind of a child

does anyone actually disagree with this deduction?

Saw them on Jingle Ball @ MSG. Kind of...underwhelming? The best part was the random chick Williams brought on stage to sing the end of Misery Business, and she was such a mess. Williams asks her what her name is and she's like, "WHAT" She sounded like she was about to cry for her remaining time on stage.

So funny.
