This years MTV Europe Music Awards have given Paramore their first award at a televised event. Hayley and her boys have been going strong for seven years and have previously been nominated for awards, including a Grammy in 2008, but they've never managed to take home the gold in front of their peers and fans.
Paramore have had their most successful year to date, since forming back in 2004. Their phenomenal second album Riot! threw the band into the forefront of the 'alternative' scene and their third studio album Brand New Eyes, has done more than cement their status.
The five-some have called this their most collaborative album yet. Its predecessors were predominantly written by singer, Hayley Williams and bassist, Josh Farro, while Brand New Eyes is the result of the band exploring different sounds as a collective. Farro said of the acoustic track on the album
"Misguided Ghosts is just finger-picking and that's not really Paramore's sound but for some reason it works," he continues. "I don't think it would have fit on RIOT! at all, but it's definitely the perfect song for this album."
"I hope my mom's Tevo'ing this...We have never won an award on TV before, thank you so much! It's by the grace of God our band is still together 7 years later, thank you so much to all our fans, you've kept us going, you've kept us so strong-we love you so much....Wow....So I guess, here's to 7 more years, let's do this!"
Yes...lets!
