As far as pop punk goes, there is a lot of garbage out there, and Paramore is better than most of it. With just a few stand-out tracks, the band is nonetheless able to have a distinctive voice amongst a cluttered mass of shitty music. As long as the song-writing gains catchiness as well as maintains its distinctiveness, this will continue to be a band to watch for.

  1. Here's a comment for you Dylanclark. On the top shelf of the fridge, there's a little plastic container with yummy soup in it. You may have it for your lunch/supper if you wish.
    I realize that I'm commenting on pop punk in an uneducated manner, however, I was fairly confident that this would get your attention.
