Sing Till Your Lungs Give Out

I am going to admit an embarrassing fact. In 2002 I was impressed by Avril Lavigne's album Complicated. I was in my punk swing and I thought the song "Sk8er Boi" was catchy and had some good guitar in it. Much like my opinion of "Bring me to life" by Evanescence. Avril soon found her way to MTV and my following of the band soon faded away, along with her talent. I truly struggled seeing a female vocalist make her way through the punk-pop/rock scene like Avril did, but I have found proof that I am wrong. Let's just hope this group doesn't kick the bucket after one album.

The band that impressed me is called Paramore. The lead vocalist's name is Hayley Williams and this band already has hope because they didn't name the band after her. So their album Riot! has me impressed. Their hit songs "Misery business" and "Cruchcrushcrush" are impressive to me. Take a look and listen.



The lead singer's vocal range is impressive and although I have not read her wikipedia page, I hear on live105's morning show that she is 19-years old. They preformed at Not So Silent Night and impressed most of the audience members who called in to discuss the highlights of the show. I can't say if the band will last, because these days it seems like no one hangs around for all that long. But if Paramore keeps making music like the tracks on Riot! then I feel that Paramore fans will be happy for quite a while, while most people will forget about Avril Lavigne and her Canadian ass.

Ha ha I too like Avril, she is great when you are in a bad mood. But I also like the spice girls so I don’t know what that says about me…
