Weekly Roundup 12/5

A burned CD, new promo photos, and DMs with fans

A weekly roundup to catch you up on funny/fun/important shit that Paramore and their fans have been up to.

Here’s what happened in Paramore World this last week

• RIGHT after I sent last week’s roundup, the home page on Paramore’s website refreshed to the following:

• Gwizzle is a Tiktoker, and the upcoming single is called “The News,” so fans deduced there was going to be some kind of TikTok teaser of the upcoming single. And they were right!!!

• But first… on Thursday, the morning of the 1st, a bunch of Twitter fans got (presumably) individual lines of the single DM’d to them by Paramore’s Twitter account. Here’s an example:

  EXCUSE ME

  

  Fans even put together the time stamps of the DMs to try to get the lyrics in order:

  KNOWN LYRICS TO THE NEWS BY PARAMORE UPDATE 02/12/22

  

• Later that evening, Gwizzle played a burned CD with clips of “The News” for a short and sweet TikTok livestream. You can rewatch it here.

• The band posted promo photos:

Okay, I’m OBSESSED with how this song sounds. I loved “This Is Why” but this is honestly the heavier sound I was crossing my fingers for with this album.

“The News” is out this Thursday. Let me know your thoughts once it’s out, and I’ll let you know mine!!

Here’s some funny tweets from this week

paramore didn’t submit a spotify video for their top fans this year because they couldn’t figure out how to unmute themselves

(They notoriously fucked up their intro livestream to the “This Is Why” music video by doing the whole thing on mute, a fiasco now fondly known by fans as “Paramute”)

Hayley Williams speaking on KROQ about her feelings regarding Paramore having to stop multiple shows during their past Fall 2022 due to fights.

Thanks for reading - let’s reconvene after the new single comes out. Annnnnnd break!
