The name is a meticulously misspelt version of ‘paramour’ – a word referring to an adulterous lover in an older English vocabulary. It also sounds a little similar to Paradox, which is fun, as they’ve spoken publicly about being Christian individuals – individuals underlined, as they’re generally eager to emphasize they’re not a Christian band. How? Erm. Anyway. Adultery is a mortal sin, the last time I checked. Oh well.

To move onto less controversial things, Paramore are simply described as a ‘power-pop-punk’ five piece, fronted by devilishly attractive and somewhat vertically challenged lead singer Hayley Williams and her glossy red hair. They’re two studio albums down, with plans to release a third, “Brand New Eyes” in September of this year.  Their style is much more musical and melodically complex than your average screamo emo band, and indeed they’ve been labeled as both antithesis to and latest epitome of the emo genre. Paradox number two!

Pantera are are one of those bands who influenced thousands of fans to get tattoos; the tragic death of iconic member Dimebag Darryl only sought to drive legions of it's following to get inked in tribute. So now, as a tribute to a band that inspired tattoos the world over, we have compiled a special playlist of Pantera videos for your enjoyment.

They had a sixteen-year career together, and in their time on the metal scene Pantera left a mark that nobody in the know could possibly lay claim to being unaware of. Many mourned their disbanding in 2003, after a two year hiatus

A musical outfit of Las Vegas natives, Panic at the Disco hit it really big with their debut album, A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out, which was unleashed in 2005; since then they seem to be doing a commendable job of holding onto their niche. They’re poppy, punky, punchy, eccentric, and they have a sound original enough on today’s music scene that you’re guaranteed to sit up and listen.
