Paramore announce new guitarist
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 19 June 2009
Paramore have announced the identity of their new guitarist, who replaces Hunter Lamb, who left back in 2007. Actually, the new guitarist is Taylor York, who has been playing live with the band since Lamb’s departure, so he’s not really new at all.
In a statement, the band said: “We recognise the fact that it’s way overdue. Oh well! Today is the day. The four of us (Hayley, Zac, Josh and Jeremy) are proud to announce that Taylor York, a touring member of Paramore for over two years, is now an official member of the band! In case you don’t know… And you probably don’t… Taylor has been around since the very early days of Paramore. Perhaps even before we began. He actually helped write some of our ‘fan-favourite’ songs such as ‘Conspiracy’ off our debut record, ‘All We Know Is Falling’ and ‘That’s What You Get’ from ‘Riot!’. So as you can see, there really isn’t anyone else we could find who would fit in quite the same”.
Paramore are set to release a new album in September.
