Ex-Paramore members speak out
Josh and Zac Farro, who recently left Paramore, have blogged about the power struggles within the band.
A few years ago Paramore announced on their website that the guitarist and drummer brothers had left the band.
It wasn`t a bitter statement, but now the Farro brothers have revealed the machinations behind the ring they thought was theirs.
In a long, involved `Exit statement` on Josh`s blog, they call that singer Hayley Williams and her manager took over the set and manipulated their business dealings.
It`s amounts to an insider account of the band, beginning when the brothers started to bring music together to the black day that Hayley joined and beyond.
They call that the circle quickly, `became all about Hayley. She had a coach at the clock that controlled her every move on with her parents. They didn`t wish the thought of Hayley being in a rock band so they forced her to leave wanting her to follow a solo career.`
They claim Hayley did solo demos, then returned to ask for the song `Conspiracy`, and eventually her manager started manipulating the band.
`I got a name a piece afterwards that from Hayley telling me that her manager said that Zac and I were invited to be binding in the band (the circle we started),` the statement reads, `but not Taylor and Jason because they weren`t right enough in his eyes. Hayley brought in Jeremy and our first rhythm guitarist Jason Bynum as the former two members.`
They go on to claim Hayley and her manager went to business meetings without the remainder of the band, signed to indie Fueled By Ramen but kept it secret that they`d also signed with Atlantic, and repeatedly tried to terminate the `remainder` of the band.
If you can cut the alarming number of Bible quotes in the statement, it makes for interesting reading.
Of course, we`ll never experience what the utter truth is.
