We want to celebrate our hometown and the fast growing, wacky and wonderful alternative music and arts community of Nashville. We want to show you what our fine city has to offer, outside of bachelorette parties and karaoke bars...Take it from a group of kids who grew up right here in this city - the new Nashville is definitely alright with us. We're excited to give everyone a chance to experience Nashville the way we do. - Hayley Williams
Meanwhile, Paramore - whose long-awaited debut at their home state's iconic Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, TN was just named by Rolling Stone as the weekend's "Best Motivational Dance Party" - continue to travel the planet on their "After Laughter Tour," set to hit Brooklyn, NY's Barclays Center this evening and then carry on across the U.S. through a much anticipated visit to Morrison, CO's famed Red Rocks Amphitheatre on Tuesday, July 24th. Special guests include Foster the People, Soccer Mommy, and Jay Som. From there, the GRAMMY® Award-winning band will embark on a series of major live dates in Japan, Singapore, the Philippines, and Indonesia. For complete tour details and ticket availability, please see paramore.net/tour.
Paramore is further celebrating summer with today's premiere of "Caught In The Middle," the companion visual to the latest track from their fifth studio album, "AFTER LAUGHTER." The clip - directed by Computer Team- is streaming now at Paramore's official YouTube channel.
Paramore's fifth studio release, "AFTER LAUGHTER" is available now at all retailers and streaming services via Fueled By Ramen Records. Highlighted by such hit singles and videos as "Hard Times," "Told You So," "Fake Happy," and "Rose-Colored Boy," all available now for individual purchase at all DSPs and streaming outlets, the album debuted on the SoundScan/Billboard 200 at #6 upon its May 2017 release - Paramore's third consecutive top 10 chart debut. The album ultimately proved one of the year's most critically applauded releases, with Billboard, The Guardian, Rolling Stone, and Stereogum each ranking it among their "Best Albums of 2017" charts.
Paramore celebrated "AFTER LAUGHTER" by spending much of 2017 on the road, drawing rapturous acclaim from coast to coast. "A 2017 Paramore concert impresses simply by stacking the hits on top of each other until the lights come up," enthused SPIN, while Billboard raved, "(Hayley) Williams fulfilled her frontwoman duties to the fullest, with hair-flip headbanging and can-can kicks galore, but perhaps most necessary -- at least for the timing of this particular show -- plenty of heartfelt and poignantly uplifting statements to keep spirits high." "Paramore's show is equal parts therapeutic," declared The Independent, "and plain old fun." Perhaps Mashable said it best: "Unafraid of emotion, Paramore delivers the therapeutic pop-rock show 2017 needs."
