New single by Paramore: “Ignorance”
July 14th, 2009 by Kate Cillian in New Releases, News
I think it is safe to say that we are all “RIOT”ed out.
In 2007, Paramore proved itself as a band not to be reckoned with, putting out single after single, and continually making it to the top of the charts with songs like “Misery Business,” “Crush Crush Crush” and “Decode,” which hit the radio and moved into the homes and iPods of teens all over the world.
If you’re a Paramore fan, I have some good news. The band released a new single, “Ignorance,” on July 6. The song is more of a push towards punk-rock than previous Paramore albums. Frontwoman Hayley Williams recently told a journalist from Entertainment Weekly’s Music Mix blog, “the album is really soley based on friendship and betrayal, losing people you thought would be there forever, and then maybe either finding them again or not finding them again.”
These ideas are more than apparent in “Ignorance.” The new single illustrates a more confident Paramore, perhaps due to their recent flush of fame. Could this tune be aimed at ex-band members or maybe even ex-boyfriends? We may not ever know, but listening to it brings us closer to Hayley, in a way. “Ignorance” is spunky and catchy — watch out, it could get stuck in your head for weeks after listening. The single is available on iTunes or at Paramore’s official website. The new album, Brand New Eyes, will hit stores September 29. You can pre-order it now, also on their website.

“If your a Paramore fan, I have some good news.”
seriously?! your ‘writers’ do not have enough sense/education/care to not make this mistake?
i stopped picking up the free print version over a year ago (so long advertisers), because the quality and quantity of content has suffered through all the changes of the past few years, and now i cannot get through the first paragraph of the music blog without a 5th or 6th grade grammar mistake?!
creative loafing, we’ve been together for 20+ years now, since i first went to the old wreck room and 688 club in atlanta for punk rock shows, but i just feel like we’ve grown apart. i think we should break up?!
and i’d bet there are many more people with similar opinions here in the bay area.
stay classy tampa bay!

When you have all of one person on staff editing the music stuff, small errors like “your” vs. “you’re” sometimes slip through the cracks. But thanks for the grammar correction — always appreciated.

editor?,
For being such a stickler for grammatical mistakes, you think you would take the extra second to capitalize the first letter of you’re – I mean your – sentences.

so, essentially, editor? stopped supporting the paper (and advertisers), which, in turn, exacerbated the financial situation, eventually leading to the release of the long-time, respected Senior Editor, (a decision only furthering editor?’s displeasure), leaving one editor there to do the work of Editor, Senior Editor and editor?. Sounds like “editor?” may be responsible for this whole mess!

Sorry, I made the mistake in the first place. I’m still working on all my writing and grammar, maybe I should’ve stayed back in the 5th grade. I’ll try to pay more attention next time. Don’t let one little mistake keep you from reading! If you love music as much as we do, you could look past something like that. Sorry again!
