A release about the Farro brothers exiting the band.
This came from Josh Farro's blog himself.
Hey guys,
Let me start by apologizing to you for the way everything went down on Saturday. I had a statement typed ready to post to you guys but Hayley released one without my permission. We were not going to issue a statement until we worked out our exit agreement with Hayley. I wish it didn’t have to happen that way, Zac and I wanted to be the ones you heard it from. I want to be honest with you guys about how this band formulated from day one. I did not think Hayley’s version told the whole story, at least from our perspective and hopefully this will explain a bit about why we are leaving.
Zac and I had a garage band in high school with the intentions of just making music for the love of it. We met Taylor and our friend Jason Clark at our school and found out that we shared the same musical tastes. So, we asked them to join our band. It was some of the greatest times of our lives playing music in Taylor’s basement with them. We obviously needed a lead singer and one day Zac met Hayley. We asked her to come try out and eventually to join the band.
Months down the road things changed and this band became all about Hayley. She had a manager at the time that controlled her every move along with her parents. They didn’t like the idea of Hayley being in a rock band so they forced her to leave wanting her to pursue a solo career.
Hayley went off to write and record her solo demos while the four of us continued on without her. A couple of months later Hayley came and asked us if she could use the song “Conspiracy” that we had all previously written together. We agreed that that would be fine. I got a call a while after that from Hayley telling me that her manager said that Zac and I were invited to be back in the band (the band we started), but not Taylor and Jason because they weren’t good enough in his eyes. Hayley brought in Jeremy and our first rhythm guitarist Jason Bynum as the other two members.
We travelled to LA a few weeks later for a showcase and it was a nightmare. Hayley’s manager would tell the band to be in the lobby of the hotel at a certain time, but he and Hayley wouldn’t show for hours. We found out that they had been meeting with record label executives all morning without us, which is totally weird given that this wasn’t simply a solo artist, but we were a band. The band was in the dark the whole time. After many meetings between Hayley, her manager and the labels they decided to sign her to Atlantic records. We didn’t understand why Hayley was the only one signing the contract since we were told this was a “band”, but we were too young to grasp all of this. So far, Zac and I haven’t signed with another label, although I guess our part of Paramore sure could. Next thing we knew we were having a signing party for Hayley.
Our next move was to rerecord her solo demos with our own music rather than studio musicians to make it sound more genuine. Meanwhile, we tossed around band names. I wrote out a list of names, including “Paramore”, a name my old band with Taylor and Jason Clark had thought about using. Obviously, we settled on that name. The label received the rerecorded demos and once again tried to fire the entire band, saying we were terrible. Thankfully Hayley and I had been writing some new songs together (Hallelujah, Here We Go Again) that the label was pleased with so that acted as leverage for the band to stay. The label and management then decided to build our band up the grass-roots route. They put Hayley on Fueled by Ramen not making it known she was signed to Atlantic as well. All the while we still questioned whether or not we were an actual band, but Hayley continued to insist we were, despite our being ignored and pushed around by the label.
They then sent us all to Orlando to rehearse and write eight hours a day for our first record. Half -way though this process, Jeremy decided to quit. We were all really upset about it. So we finished the record, replaced Jeremy, and hit the road with Hayley’s father as our tour manager/driver of a twelve-passenger van. Her dad would constantly threaten to “pull the plug” on the whole band if we complained about anything, suggesting that we were hired guns and Hayley was the real artist, when in reality we were also part of the band. We’ve always been treated as less important than Hayley. It’s been obvious how her family views things.
Jeremy ended up rejoining and we toured non-stop for two and half years building our fan base, pretending to be a band that started naturally. In reality, what started as natural somehow morphed into a manufactured product of a major label, riding on the coattails of “Hayley’s dream.”
Before recording our next record, we kicked out Jeremy for his lack of work ethic and participation in things that Zac, Hayley and I didn’t agree with. At this point it was just the three of us to record Riot. Once the record was done, we needed a bassist and another guitarist. Eventually Zac and I convinced Hayley to let Taylor rejoin and she convinced us to let Jeremy back in, promising he had changed his ways.
Once again we hit the road and toured on our biggest record as a band. As you all know Hayley and I dated and broke up during this album cycle. Things then started going downhill for our band. Hayley and Jeremy’s views started changing from what we all once believed in. The band almost split after cancelling a tour in Europe, but we managed to keep it together somehow. This is when Zac and I started to consider quitting the band.
Once we finished touring on Riot, we came home for a break and started writing for Brand New Eyes. Hayley presented lyrics to us that were really negative and we didn’t agree with. For example, “the truth never set me free”, which contradicts what the Bible says in John 8:32 (“and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall sat you free”). We fought her about how her lyrics misrepresented our band and what we stood for, but in the end she got her way. Instead of fighting her any longer, we decided to just roll over and let it go.
Hayley claimed that this record reunited us as band and made us grow closer together, when in reality we were all growing further apart. Suddenly the band had spilt into two sides. Touring became more difficult since we couldn’t agree on anything. The friendships our band once had were no longer existent. Amos 3:3 says, “Can two people walk together without agreeing on the direction”. In addition to the band turmoil, touring had really taken its toll on us both. We left home at such a young age and missed taking part in normal teenage years. When you own part of a band and are constantly playing, you make sacrifices. Touring has taken its toll on our family members as well. I specifically remember many moments where our parents would break down in tears when we had to leave. It broke my heart. Seeing our siblings grow up so much during our absences was never easy either.
After a lot a prayer and counsel Zac and I came to the decision that it was time to leave the band. We truly feel that God is leading us elsewhere and is going to do great things with us. The intention of this statement was not to belittle or disgrace the rest of the band, it was simply to clarify our decision for leaving and our desire to finally tell you guys the truth. We are still hoping to work out a friendly way to leave our part of Paramore intact with the remaining band members, including Hayley.
We want to thank you guys for all of your love and support over the past 7 years. It’s been an honor creating and playing music for you. If music is what God calls us to in the future, we hope that you all will be a part of it.
All of the glory be to God,
Josh and Zac
Well..I don't really care what happen just keep making music and hope you guy find your happiness : )
I'm still Paramore's biggest fan. I liked and loved each and every one of ya!

Jewelries
Is one thing that I can never understand. Put jewelry on me and I bet cha it wouldn't last more than an hour on me. So here's the thing. My sister have this new obsession with jewelry making of swaroski pearls and beads. She made,I admit,pretty brilliant designs but the thing is..I'm not really the biggest fan of jewelries and shits like that. Sure I'd go for a bullet necklace that look almost similar to a penis from above view and never wear it anyhow,but still,jewelries/accessories is not really something I fancy. What's excruciating is that she'd constantly ask for my opinions on her design and won't stop buggin me until I voice out what I think of her design,every one fucking hour. This is soooo bloody annoying and worstttt, I have to be worlds supportive sister. Sucketh. Nevertheless, I am still proud of her. She sold a couple of designs/sets and now she's thinking of going global since she just got a placement order from the states. Impressive huh?

Trying too hard?
I can't help but to notice people trying so hard to look good but ended up looking ridiculous than ever. We all know that I don't have good sense of fashion but at least I am sensible :P
Anyway, you wan't to look sexy and you show off more skin. There is a fine line between looking sexy and looking like a cheap slut. Some might even try too hard to look sexy that it disgust me sometimes and they end up looking like a total slut. Sexy doesn't have to show off more skin. Well..I think sexy can come from personality as well. Yeah, this sounds boring but true story.Wearing a tank top,spaghetti shirt and really short shorts or jeans doesn't make you sexy. That is what we call trying too hard. Sometimes, a simple Tee and a blue jeans can make you look sexy as ever.
Make up. I don't understand people who wear funny make up..or too much make up on their faces. I wear make up but not too much ya'll. and be wary of whatever stuff you put on your face. Soem fake make ups might even ruin your face. It just covers things up for only few hours and have lasting effects on your face. Might cause blackness on the lips or something. True story. Don't try too hard. Go for something simple and natural : )
Boys. Now girls, don't be such a cheap whore and simply go out with any boys you met by the roadside or library or god forbid, some fast food restaurant( cuz he's probably a cheap bastard..jk.Not.) Have a price for yourself, respect yourself and don't treat yourself like a cheap whore and guys won't treat you like one too. Abstain. I'm a girl too and I know sometimes how girls long to have a boy around them or some might love all the attention from boys( I really don't know what it'll do good for you...) If you just have some sense of respect for yourself..you wouldn't meet all the assholes out there and eventually meet a decent guy that wouldn't hurt you like those assholes did. Well..that's what I think.
Oh..one more thing.
Fake whore lashes are fugly.

Guess what? Wellington boots! No.It's semester break.
Ahhh..nothing like the long semester break. After 5 long months of struggle with assignments,tutorials,quizzes and idiots, it's finally time to take a break from those rascals.So...braggin about my lame life session!
I finally have time to get back to my guitar. It's been a while and it's off tuned. I have played a couple of new songs and I've recorded some of it on Facebook. I have also lost a friend for she thought that I betrayed her while she screwed up my assignments, well read this buddy ; You can go fucking die in a fire. There you go. My sister is here, which is also a good thing! Well..the downside is that I can have little peace now. I keep constantly been called for every 10 minutes. Ooh, and now I am taking this spa management class thingy(cuz my sister thought it'd be productive for me to do it while I have nothing to do during semester break) and I have an exam on this shit this coming 26th.The if I pass the exam, I will have full certificate and I can now either have a spa of my own and teach people and become an instructor with the salary of 3K monthly :D You know what I'd choose.and oh, i forgot to brag to you about my Paramore experience. As a Parawhore, this could be the life changing experience...not. But yeah,my life is complete now. Haha. I was totally ogling on Hayley and Josh was TOTALLY checking me out.Haha :P
Okay, truth is, I was ogling on Josh and none of 'em checked me out -.-
Okay so, here's some of the pictures.
Okay, I'm done braggin.
