Following the release of the ultra-catchy 80s infused single 'Hard Times', Paramore have shared a behind-the-scenes clip from the official video. Check out the footage and official clip below.

Hayley Williams and co return with a brand new record After Laughter on 12 May, and have previewed the LP with the bouncing ear-worm of 'Hard Times', which sees a shift in direction for the Tennessee trio. 

After Laughter was produced by the band's very own Taylor York and Justin Meldal-Johnsen, and is the first Paramore record to be made in the band's hometown - recorded at Nashville's RCA Studio B. Track titles for the record include 'Rose-coloured Boy', 'Fake Happy' and 'Grudges'.

Now, the band have shared footage of the 'Hard Times' video in the making. The gang can be seen clowing-around in front of a studio green screen to the upbeat track. 

Elsewhere, Paramore marked their comeback by having a chat with Zane Lowe in a Beats 1 interview. The band discuss losing friends, doubt cast over the future of the band, and how Tame Impala influenced their new sound.
