This band really impressed me! Wow! The band I am mentioning is Paramore which played towards the middle of the Warped tour event. They jumped on stage with their florescent orange and matching jumpsuits as the crowd cried with extended hands, dying to touch their favorite artist! PARAMORE!

The energy of the show was awesome! The band leaping and jumping on stage in unison- wow did they really know how to put on a show! The crowd sang along to several known tunes off of their album Riot! This poppy punk group left such a big impression that I went out to purchase the newly released album the very next day. This is very unusual for me especially with it being a girl band! Anyway the band features: Haley Williams, Jeremy Davis, Josh Farro, Zac Farro, and Taylor York (as a fill in).

They can also be viewed on their Myspace page which features their hit single Misery Business which was also featured on TRL. Once you take a look at the video you can see why anyone would love the show live - with the lead singer’s sexy, sassy, and entertaining style.

In one of her songs she writes of the cat and mouse games of relationships and the sometimes envious, vicious attempts to win the “prize”. She screams into the mic:

Whoa, I never meant to brag
But, I got him where I want him now.
Whoa, it was never my intention to brag
To steal it all away from you now.
But god does it feel so good,
Cause I got him where I want him right now.
And if you could then you know you would.

Cause god it just feels so...
It just feels so good.

What really makes the song so good is that it brings you back to the high school days and really makes you feel alive again- all that passion on stage and the melody of the hooks and choruses- “just feels so good”. Anyway the band is totally reaching record heights, which is awesome considering the age of the group.

Another track that really lit up the audience was “Born for this” with the crowd singing along, word for word. I absolutely loved this band's energy!  Take a good look at their Myspace page and I think you'll see why!
