Bands similar to Paramore?

[nfgkid007]

Does anyone know of any bands similar to Paramore? I've been searching Purevolume, trying to find similar bands with a female vocalist. But, I can't seem to find any. Maybe Paramore is just one of a kind.

P.S. I don't care if you hate Paramore. Please leave those comments to yourself.

[ticklemyfancy]

zolof and the rock n roll destroyer?

[summer skin]

well...pretty girls make graves have a female vocalist, but they're way better than paramore (course I'm bitter cause paramore raped a at the drive-in song)

[Ezg12]

i think u should definitly try lacuna coil, they dont really sound like paramore but they have a female singer and i think that they're really good.

[FOBPrettyNPunk]

The Hush Sound...sorta maybe...

[domesticyeti]

tsunami bomb, when they still were around, were amazing. they had a girl singer, and while they sound nothing like paramore, they were great. check them out

[x togepi x]

paramore sucks. i would have kept that comment to myself if this thread was in the right forum

[nfgkid007]

Sorry bro. I didn't know where else to put it. It seemed like the appropriate place to me.

[x togepi x]

yeah, their singer has an awesome screaming voice.

oh wait, she doesn't. they're not a hardcore band.

try the pop section, alternative or rock sections.

[heyRomanticA__x]

Try Ion Dissonance.

[nfgkid007]

Try Ion Dissonance.

HaHa. Very funny.

[phoenixinflames]

hahaha ion dissonance = hailey from paramore + steriods + raw flesh + rabies + 150 more lbs.

[sarrahe013]

You can try Flyleaf.
They have a female vocalist as well..

[underthetalking]

Fuck the heck?!

[cereal4life]

well...pretty girls make graves have a female vocalist, but they're way better than paramore (course I'm bitter cause paramore raped a at the drive-in song)

PGMG are good. As for Paramore, what song of ATD's did they cover (badly, I presume?)?

[dostoevsky]

They stuck a bit of One Armed Scissor at the end of Here We Go Again and changed the bit about 'Jagged pulp sliced in my veins'

I didn't think it was that bad, maybe because I like both bands? :shrug:

[Mboma10]

tsunami bomb, when they still were around, were amazing. they had a girl singer, and while they sound nothing like paramore, they were great. check them out

I saw them open for Audio Karate and The Vandals a few years back. Was a good concert, and the lead singer was pretty tasty as well.

She's in a new band now isn't she?

There's a new up-and-coming Welsh band called Miss Conduct that are starting to gain a tiny bit of publicity over here. I'm not so sure on them, but I quite like one of their songs called Sinner Vs. Sinned. I suppose you could check it out:

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofi le&friendID=33501046

Here's how KERRANG! sum them up:

"More bright young things from Wales, Miss Conduct sound like Paramore would if young Hayley had spent her tender years sniffing glue in a dead end mining town. Significantly more venemous than their Tennessee cousins, Miss Conduct's music is succinct but sharpened to dangerous points."
KERRANG!

[MADSTA]

Paramore, one of a kind?

[Shatter590]

on friday in general, mht mentioned eyes set to kill- sorta like a hardcore paramore (or he might have said tegan and sara)

[hailthewarrior]

i remember them, i kinda liked them, cept for his screaming

[hailthewarrior]

and he said meg&dia and tdwp had kids

[Shatter590]

and he said meg&dia and tdwp had kids

well, i ordered the cd from smartpunk, waiting for it to come in.

[theabtheorybear]

you could check out http://www.myspace.com/sweethearts - they are a female fronted pop punk band
from austin.

its pretty good for basic pop punk stuff.

and Damone - they are good.
and PGMG - they are excellent

Brosef, this is so true!

You're getting mighty close to the 10k; woot!

[AvengeTheDead]

All i can manage to come up with in my head is Thrice... but i know they are nothing like Paramore. Maybe it's just because i'm obsessed with them and insanely jealous Jason Tate got the new album 8 weeks in advance and i'm going crazy trying to keep my sanity while I wait... sorry for being a bit off topic, rambling on.

[XxmagnesiumxX]

the dollyrots

[SteveLikesMusic]

Meg&Dia...they are mellower mostly though...less punk more alternative/pop

It's smarter/more intelligent music and lyrics IMO.

[mrzippo3]

If you want a band like Paramore.. check out Kenotia (http://www.myspace.com/kenotia) - That is what you are looking for

[PuppetMaster]

the weekend.

[Gumbyjag]

She's in a new band now isn't she?


it's called The Action Design and her name is Agent M.

[theabtheorybear]

the dollyrots


they are a good band, its weird seeing them in kohl's commercials and on fuse now, but i guess thats what happens when you write a catchy song

[eye<3n00dz]

Avril Lavigne.

[myantiyou]

Meh, fuck Paramore.

Just listen to Imogen Heap or Frou Frou, quality female-voiced groups.

[2 fly and shy]

Kittie

[youcomebeforeyo]

Kittie

lolol

[DeliriumTrigDC]

Let's not forget about Walls of Jericho and Arch Enemy!! Those girls can growl better than most men!

In all seriousness you can check out New Year's Day. They are average at best, but they are Paramore-esque. Just depends if you can take 12 songs about a girl getting her heart broken and hating men. It gets old at about song 4.

[Just An End]

check out new years day RIGHT NOW... if you like paramore, i guarantee you'll love them

[SNoeWHite]

Well, Shiny Toy Guns has a boy and a girl singer... they're pretty good. But they're like techno rock

[drumerish]

well it probably doesnt have anything to do with paramore but if you are looking for a band with female singer then in my opinion blondie is the best

BTW what are some good songs from paramore I can hear? because im very interested in Fueled by ramen bands

[kearn1tm]

Female vocalists?

Try Denali http://www.myspace.com/denaliband

The ambiance of their music is much more aiken to alt indie than pop punk, but they're a fantastic, introspective, and daring band.

also worth checking is the art punk/indie band Metric http://www.myspace.com/metricband

I'm surprised nobody had yet to mention these two.

And while I've only heard one song, so I don't know how much they're like Paramore, Damone (http://www.myspace.com/damone) is worth a try.

There's a Sveeeedish death metal band with a chick singer....not as good as In Flames or Dark Tranquility...but not too many are.

[dostoevsky]

You forgot to mention At The Gates in that post! ;)

[kearn1tm]

Blonde Redhead doesn't sound anything like Paramore, but they have a prominent female vocalist and guitarist and are a wonderful band; lightyears away from Paramore. Try 'em.

yeah...i can't believe no one mentioned a band that sounds nothing like Paramore in a "Bands similar to Paramore" thread.

[AmandaLynn]

so the bands I am about to name are all broken up or "on hiatus" but are still bands you should listen to just because they are awesome chick fronted bands.

Dance Hall Crashers
Save Ferris
Luckie Strike

Good luck.

[The Revisionist]

But they don't sound anything like Paramore, which I'm pretty sure was the topic of this thread.

Well, I know that this band is not pop punk at all. But, why don't you give it a try? I'm talkin' bout....Rilo Kiley, maybe? I love Jenny Lewis' attitude, and their latest album, "Under The Blacklight", I think it's much better than Paramore's latest album, "Riot!"

Not Necessarily like paramore, but female fronted nonetheless

[PlaceboGraeme]

the only difference between paramore and one true thing is that paramore are a lot more poppy.

Oh, I was talking about the bands I listed, and I think we posted around the same time. sorry for the confusion

[Kid B]

the academy is... is like paramore.

they dont have a female front, but theyre on the same label and in the same genre.

The Hush Sound, if you want another FBR artist.
Other than that, like said previously, New Years Day.
Try out Automatic Loveletter as well.

[it be sabrina]

sound close to paramore

[makeoutmags]

THE HUSH SOUND, female vocalist, such pretty music... I love them :)

[makeoutmags]

The Hush Sound, if you want another FBR artist.

Try out Automatic Loveletter as well.

They are without a doubt the most underrated band on FBR right now. Their musicianship is outstanding, I mean they're not just good at crafting songs, but they know their instruments intimately and it really comes through on their records. So Sudden is captivating. Like Vines was a great follow-up. I usually don't even talk about bands like that, but they really are amazing.

[pennyVShmmngbrd]

robots and butterflies. no lie. they're from my area, and i'm expecting that they'll go pretty far. really talented. not exactly like paramore in a way that would make you think they're purposely trying for the similarity, but i see a bit of the same vibe.

look them up on myspace, for real.

Screw bands that sound like Paramore, listen to Rilo Kiley.
Way better than all the female fronted bands mentioned in this thread already.

[rockdude]

Screw bands that sound like Paramore, listen to Rilo Kiley.
Way better than all the female fronted bands mentioned in this thread already.

I think Paramore is great! and Rilo Kiley too! um, Powerspace is somewhat similar, All Time Low, Valencia, Boys Like Girls, The Audition, they are all really great bands, to listen to, well I like them.

btw, I got the new cd by The Audition and I think their new cd is pretty great. It's great to see bands that follow up a second cd and be that great as well.

[OdeToTheSun]

Did anyone say The Material yet? I didn't feel like looking through the whole thread to see.

[3GunGaz]

I back the Tsunami Bomb suggestion.

Different to Paramore but excellent.. and great people.. I miss them!

Anyone know what Em's upto these days?

She has my Morrissey tshirt.. hmm

Try out Kissy Face Fashion Faux-Pas.

Some of my personal favorite chick-fronted bands are as follows (please note, I loathe Paramore and that entire sub-genre of poppy/Hot Topic garbage): Ohbijou, Priscilla Ahn, Natalie Prass, Company of Thieves, the Joy Formidable, the Ethnographers, Agent Ribbons, Dear Reader, Amanda Zelina, New Buffalo/Sally Seltmann, Ranger and Vanessa Rose. I think that about sums it up.
