Hayley Williams Talks with Entertainment Weekly

Jason Tate

Entertainment Weekly sat down with Hayley Williams of Paramore to talk about the new album:

There were many talks over coffee with [bandmate Taylor York]. We thought, “Maybe we should start something new.” But Taylor said to me, “If we start another band and people call it Paramore, you’re gonna be so mad. So you might as well just be Paramore.” I actually think I could have been happy if we kept creating together and never put out a record, but the fact that we created an album and people can hear it — I’m still pinching myself.

My sincere thanks to Crash The Calm for sponsoring the website this week. The band will be releasing their new album, How’ve You Been?, this coming Friday, May 19th. The album is up for pre-order right now and each bundle comes with an instant download of the two singles “The Ambient Sound of Traffic” and “Irish Exit.” You can stream both songs below.

If you’re looking for a band with an alternative/rock sound in the vein of Brand New, Balance and Composure, and Moving Mountains, this is going to be right up your alley. Give the first two singles a stream, and if you like what you hear, make sure you pre-order the new album.
