Paramore's Hayley Williams has revealed that several types of music influenced the band's fourth studio album including Mercury Price Award winners, Alt-J.
The rock singer was speaking to Absolute Punk as she explained what the band members were listening to during the making of their long-awaited album.
Williams said: "Taylor (York, guitarist) was listening to Alt-J a lot, I was listening to that Sirius XM channel called 1st Wave every day just getting my gothy vibes on in the car, and Jeremy (Davis, bassist) keeps us well versed in new hip-hop."
Williams also explained that the band have been listening to more electronic music than they have during the recording of previous records. However, she did ensure fans that Paramore wouldn't be the next electro stars. She said: "No dubstep was jammed in the making of this album."

The rock chick believes Paramore's fourth studio album doesn't sound like any other specific artists.
She continued: "I wouldn't say we sound like any of those bands. It sounds more like someone let us loose in a blow up castle full of instruments and we just bounced around it in for a few days."
The new record will be released on April 9 2013. The single ‘Now’ is due for release on January 22
