What Parents Need to Know
About Riot!
Parents need to know that although the lead singer of this on-heavy-MTV-rotation band has pink hair and the music sounds hard core, the album itself has mostly puppy-love lyrics. There's one mention of the word "whore" in the song "Misery Business."

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about what image they think Paramore is trying to give. Why does the young, female lead singer have pink hair? Is this appealing? Some say that this group is openly Christian in their beliefs. Is this reflected in their music? Does this make their music more or less appealing? Why or Why not?

Perfect band, perfect songs!
Paramore's album Riot! is inspiring, as I'm sure their new album Brand New Eyes will be. There is only one instance of bad language in the song "Misery Business", but other than that it is appropriate. I think that kids 12 and up will really understand the music and the message it gives. Behind the words always lies a greater meaning that they leave you to interpret. From their slower songs, When it Rains and We are Broken, to their upbeat songs such as Miracle and Fences, each song has a unique sound and meaning, all written by Paramore. And a big plus for me, is that the band is Christian. I would recommend this band to anyone who likes alternative, pop-punk, or rock. Paramore is sure to win you over with Hayley William's killer voice and their amazing lyrics.
