Ex-Paramore guitarist announces new band
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 4 February 2011
Having left Paramore last December, making accusations about his former band being manufactured and blasphemous as he went, guitarist Josh Farro has announced that he has formed a new musical outfit, Novel American.
Speaking to MTV, he said: “We want to be a breath of fresh air to the music scene. We all love Jimmy Eat World, so it’s hard not to sound like them, but there’s a little of everything in there. We’re huge fans of Radiohead, Sigur Rós, Explosions In The Sky”.
Having turned his departure from Paramore into a huge drama, Farro said of the split: “I think we just disagree on a lot of things. I don’t think it’s wrong to disagree with someone … I just wish them the best in the future, I really don’t want to make this a huge drama”.
