Paramore Brand New Eyes

With over 2 million records sold, three gold and one platinum single, a gold DVD release, countless sold out tour dates and numerous awards and nominations including the 2008 Grammy nomination For Best New Artist already under their belt after two albums, you could say that Paramore had reached mainstream stardom. Arguably one of the most anticipated releases of 2009, third album Brand New Eyes found the band returning with by far their most personal collection of songs to date. Co-produced with Grammy Award-winner Rob Cavallo (Green Day, Kid Rock, My Chemical Romance), the 11-track set is unquestionably Paramore's best and brightest album as well, fit to burst with all the exuberant melodies, breathless hooks, and irrepressible energy that has made the Nashville-based band one of the most popular rock outfits in recent memory. Debuting at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, Brand New Eyes yielded no less than five successful singles including the Grammy-nominated "The Only Exception," plus "Ignorance," "Brick by Boring Brick," "Careful" and "Playing God."
