Paramore

Event Rating: ★★★☆☆
(non collaborated)*
Paramore is the kind of band that is better live than on the radio. Their live energy really adds to their music. Jeremy really stood out and rightly so the guy is awesome; a really good performer. His priceless back flip over Josh’s back really got the crowd going.
