Paramore has traveled nearly non-stop since the release of last year's RIAA gold-certified second album, "RIOT!" The Tennessee-based band has just wrapped up its spring co-headline itinerary with Jimmy Eat World, having also found time for festival appearances such as the Bamboozle and Bamboozle Left, as well as the UK's annual Give It A Name. In June, they will return to Europe for a number of headline dates and further festival slots, including such world-renowned gatherings as Germany's Rock am Ring and Sweden's Hultsfred Festival. The band's summer schedule will officially begin on June 30th with Milwaukee's yearly Summerfest celebrations. That will be followed by an eagerly awaited slate of mainstage appearances on the upcoming Vans Warped Tour (July 1 - 6), the band's fourth consecutive year on the tour.
"RIOT!" made an explosive chart entry upon its June 2007 release. Boasting two top 5 Modern Rock radio hits in "Misery Business" and "Crushcrushcrush," the album quickly went on to achieve RIAA gold certification, with sales now over 880,000. An array of accolades followed, including a "Best New Artist" nod at this year's 50th Annual Grammy Awards and "Band of the Year" honors from Alternative Press.
"That's What You Get," the album's latest single, is currently impacting at multi-format radio outlets nationwide, including Top 40, Modern Rock, and Hot AC. The track's companion video - directed by Marcos Siega (blink-182, All-American Rejects, Weezer) - is now in rotation at MTV2, MTV Hits, Music Choice and FUSE, having recently hit No 1 on the iTunes Store's "Alternative Video" chart.
