Paramore to take a year off

After their most successful year yet, Paramore plan to take most of 2011 off to recharge their batteries and write a new album.

"There's been so many [highlights] this year," front woman Hayley Williams told MTV news. "We got to play the VMAs, we went on the biggest US tour we've done to date, we played two shows at the O2 Arena in London. It's just been one thing after another. It's been this high climb and I hope we get to keep climbing for a little bit longer."

When asked about the band's plans for the year ahead, guitarist Taylor York said:

"We're going on a tour in South America and then we're taking time off and we're writing for a new record."

"We like to [write] at home mostly," added Williams. "We like to wait and kind of really focus on the records when we have time off."

Don't get your hopes up L. Knowing Kerrang it'll be "THEY HAVE HALF A RIFF WRITTEN! COVER STORY DRIBBLE HUMP LEG"

I really hate it when people start commenting on here because they don't like a band. Believe it or not people actually have a different taste in music. Some people will like Paramore, some people wont. If you don't like them, why come on here and bother commenting? Just fuck off and grow up.

I love Paramore and can't wait for the new album! :)

@Jodie exactly!!
if people hate paramore so much why even bother reading/ commenting on a story about them... do they really have nothing better to do?!?!

can't wait for the new album and another UK tour!

Fingers crossed the band all suffer a tragic event that either prevents them from playing ever again or just destroys their souls. They are a shite band that would of been manufactured had atlantic not wanted them to look slightly genuine. Hayley should do only one thing after the fall of such a crap band and that is get into porn and have massive dicks burried in each hole

I wasnt too impressed with their last "tour" as it was essentially only one place for a few nights before moving on. That isnt a tour of the UK it is a stop and go show

Time off is thoroughly deserved :) such an awesome hard-working band! Can't wait for that new album either :D probably not gonna be til 2012 though, i'm sure it'll be worth the wait :)

Also, Hayley Slayer, you are a sick bitch :)

Yay! I love you, Paramore.

It is a real shame that they just don't fuck off for good. Shit pop act. Kerrang will feel devastated that they are going to be away but knowing kerrang they will still manage to fill the pages with shite regarding them. Posters and archive interviews no doubt. Kerrang should consider taking a break from parabore in 2011.

Hold on people!! Firstly: I think taking a year off is well deserved by Paramore as tehy have worked their ass' off this year .... and its all been worth it! Secondly: Would just like to point out that some people obviously have too much time on their hands! I don't like Biffy Clyro for eg so if i saw a story written about them i wouldnt read it just to winge and moan about it! Whats the point i have better things to do with my time, unlike some obviously!! And Finally: Theres a reason Paramore are in Kerrang often, same as Bullet For My Valentine same as Stone Sour, Avenged Sevenfold .... They are Awesome so quit hating, get a life and find as hobby other than slagging off a band you obviously know f**k all about!! Haters do my head in!!!

Excellant news - now Kerrang can concentrate on decent rock and metal bands for the next 12 months!

Paramore are NOT rock or metal and don't deserve to be in Kerrang; same as those other crap pop groups like You Me At Seven and One Direction!

I love Paramore so much!! They are an awesome band and with all the hard work they have put in, I think they desreve a well deserved break!! If thier new album is as good as Brand New Eyes then all Paramore fans are in for a real treat!!!!

peru is waiting for you guys in 2011

Posted by HAYLY | December 16, 2010 8:55 PM | Reply to this

Paramore are one of the best bands out there, hayley williams is such a good singer, and the band is just awesome, brand new eyes was amazing, their new album will be even better, all you haters, you obviously don't know good music when you hear it, you're probably into all that metal shit, paramore are an awesome alternative band, and they will keep climbing and get better and better.

Actually metal is REAL music which takes real musicians to play it. Alternative is just some shit people who think they can play an instrument put into a group. Don't get me wrong paramore are successful and all ( might lose that with all the drama) but don't diss metal or you'll probably get swallowed alive by us metal heads. Kerrang was a Metal magazine before all these 'rock' bands came along...
