Paramore: 'We're stronger than ever'
Paramore have claimed that they are at their strongest point as a band since forming in Tennessee five years ago.

The rock group, who are on course to top the album chart with third LP Brand New Eyes on Sunday, admitted that they would not have made it this far without their loyal fans.

"We're so proud of this album. If it weren't for our fans and our faith, we wouldn't have had any reason to keep going," singer Hayley Williams told The Sun.

"Now, it wouldn't matter if all the fame and rewards went away, because we have a renewed vision and are probably the strongest we've ever been."

The group, who contributed songs to the Twilight soundtrack, insisted that they never expected their latest record to perform so well.

"To me, Brand New Eyes is less commercial than [second album] Riot. I pretend the mainstream success isn't there," Williams added.
