Paramore - Riot

Genre
Emo / punk


year: 07 - info: Opening Williams' 13-year-old eyes to the likes of U2, the Cure, Sparta, and Failure, the teenagers began performing together under the name Paramore following the addition of Jason Bynum on rhythm guitar and Jeremy Davis on bass. Local hangouts and a school talent show helped the young bandmembers hone their chops before at last moving up to gigs at area rock clubs. .

Tommy Shaw - What If


Genre
Album Rock


year: 85 - review: Shaw's second album explores more lyrical territory than his debut, including songs about alcoholism and anticipation of nuclear war. Like the first album, however, the songwriting, while good, does not live up to his prior work with Styx.
