BAND MEMBERS
RECORD LABEL
Paramore’s primary record label is Fueled By Ramen and are distributed by Atlantic Group in the US and Warner International outside of the US.
As Fueled By Ramen are a comparatively small label, Paramore are still given the credibility and legitimacy of other rock bands who are on more unknown labels. Whilst Paramore’s primary label is Fueled By Ramen, they have the support of the Atlantic Group and their distribution abilities.
This gives them the ability to be in mainstream charts but also still keep the conventional rock band image.

MAGAZINE ARTICLES
Paramore are often featured in magazines and online articles. The general focus of these articles are on the lead singer; Hayley Williams. This follows Andrew Goodwin’s convention of the focus being on a lead singer.
In the majority of images from photo shoots she is central in the frame with her band mates around her.
