Hayley Williams: Paramore Are Not A Manufactured Band

Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams has rubbished former band mate Josh Farro's claim that the group have been manufactured.

Farro made the comment in a wide-ranging attack on the group following he and his brother Zac's departure last month.

But responding to Farro's statement, Williams insisted that the group had always fought for their identity.

"We're not a manufactured band. We've dealt with that rumor for a long time, and that's because of the rumors of Fueled by Ramen and Atlantic's relationship,” she said.

“We've always talked about that ... saying, you know, when we started, I again fought for something that we could really work hard and start from the ground.

"That's the kind of music that I love, and that's the kind of music we've all shared interest in since day one, and we wanted to be that kind of band, we wanted to be those kind of people that worked for whatever they were going to get.”

She added: “We didn't know it would turn into this. Thank God it did, because we got to experience so many cool things."

As previously reported on Gigwise, Paramore have temporarily replaced the Farro brothers with Josh Freese and Justin York.
