Chick Rock that Rocks!

So it’s 3:30am and I’m up because I’m feeling like crap. I was flipping through the channels, trying to avoid the “paid programming” if you know what I mean, and I see: Paramore Live on MTV. I’ve been hearing their song Misery Business on the radio for a while now and really dig it. That girl has a great voice!

And how long as it been since a band with a chick singer has actually rocked? Everyone’s guilty pleasure, Kelly Clarkson? Maybe one song. Evanescence? Yeah, but that’s more opera meets metal. I’m talking like Joan Jett chick rock. Pink? Please! It’d say the last was Gwen. She put on some pretty good shows back in the early No Doubt days.

What was cool too was this lead singer, Hayley Williams, wasn’t all skanky! Just up there having fun. She has this great edge to her voice without sounding like a whiny girl. The band wore matching black and red, which I think is awesome…a little like The Hives. I love bands with great stage presence. For me, jumps and kicks and headbobs are all part of conveying the energy to the crowd.

Take a few minutes and watch the video. I think I’m going to have to buy the album or go see them live or something! Here’s to hoping they don’t get MTVified!

    I agree, she has an amazing cool voice.
    I like the band, and the new album too.
    But I dont like their bunch of fans….
    Too emo, too fake and the only thing they’re saying : Oh I’m gonna do my hair like her!
    Ehm, I like Hailey’s hair too, but I don’t want to be cool cuz I have Hailey hair, I want to be cool cuz Im me. Get your own inspiration and find your own ideas for your hair.
    Be a somebody. Not a nobody.
