In July, " Emergency" was released as the second single, the video again reuniting the band with director Shane Drake and featuring Hunter Lamb ( rhythm guitar), who replaced Jason Bynum. The video featured the band performing in a warehouse, eventually getting sprayed with water sprinklers as the storyline of a conflicted couple occurs. Paramore released " Pressure" as its first single, with a video directed by Shane Drake, but the song had failed to place in the charts. All We Know Is Falling was released on July 24, 2005, and reached #30 on the Billboard's Heatseekers Chart. After being asked by the band, Jeremy Davis returned to Paramore after five months apart, replacing Hembree. During that summer, Paramore was featured on the Shira Girl stage of the 2005 Warped Tour. īefore touring, the band added John Hembree ( bass guitar) to their line up to replace Jeremy Davis. The original management team for the band was Dave Steunebrink, Creed manager Jeff Hanson, and Hanson's assistant Mark Mercado. She wanted to make sure that she and her band got the chance to show what they can do as a rock band writing their own songs." Label president Julie Greenwald and the label staff decided to go with her wishes.
In an interview with HitQuarters the band's A&R at Atlantic, Steve Robertson, said, "She wanted to make sure that we didn't look at her as some straight to Top 40 pop princess. The original plan of the label was to turn her into a pop singer, but Williams resisted, saying that she wanted to play alternative rock music and wanted a band behind her. Steunebrink and Richard Williams had originally discovered and signed her to a production deal that was later bought out by Atlantic. She had been introduced to Atlantic A&R Tom Storms through Kent Marcus and Jim Zumwalt, lawyers of managers Dave Steunebrink and Richard Williams, and then eventually signed to Atlantic by Jason Flom. Williams was originally signed to Atlantic Records as a solo artist in 2003. Once the group learned the meaning of the homophone " paramour" ("secret lover"), they decided to adopt the name, using the Paramore spelling. I knew we were on to something." According to Williams, the name "Paramore" came from the maiden name of the mother of one of their first bass players. I remember thinking, 'This is not going to work because this kid is way too young,' but that first day of practice was amazing. He admitted "I had very, very, very, little faith in everyone in the band because of their age. When Davis showed up, he was stunned to find out the drummer was only twelve years old. Williams said of the guys when she first met them, "They were the first people I met who were as passionate about music as I was." The band was officially formed by Josh Farro ( lead guitar/ backing vocals), Zac Farro ( drums), Jeremy Davis ( bass guitar) and Hayley Williams ( lead vocals) in 2004, with the later addition of Williams' neighbor Jason Bynum ( rhythm guitar). The other members of what was soon to be Paramore had been "edgy about the whole female thing" of having Williams as vocalist, but, because they were really good friends, she started writing for them. Prior to forming Paramore, Williams and bassist Jeremy Davis, along with friend Kimee Read, took part in a funk cover band called The Factory, while Josh and Zac Farro had practiced together after school. Shortly after arriving, she began taking vocal lessons with Brett Manning. In 2002, at age 13, vocalist Hayley Williams moved from her hometown Meridian, Mississippi to Franklin, Tennessee where she met brothers Josh Farro and Zac Farro while she was attending a private school.
