Music Pic of The week

__ Let’s wrap up a good year!!! __ __ Music Reviews __ All of my articles were mostly on Music. I had books too. But most of them were on music. It was kind of hard for me to do music that I really don’t listen to. I mostly listen to Japanese artist, and other music like techno, but of the kids at our school like country, and their Christian music. I’m not saying there bad music, it’s that I’m not Christian, and I’ll feel uncomfortable doing that kind of music. Country music doesn’t really appeal to me so that’s why there’s not any country music on the newspaper. I just hope that everyone liked me articles. The first artist I did was Utada Hikaru, She’s a Japanese artist. I know most of the people here don’t know about Japan, but it was something for me to build off of. After that I did American Idol, telling why America loves the show and it told a little about the hosts and the hostess. When that was finished I did I biography on Kelly Clarkson. Well most of the Articles I did were artist bios. I did one Chris Daughtry and his band, Jonas Brothers, The Veronicas, and Paramore. My last Article was going to on Avril Lavinge. On the Music reviews page I also added a music picture of the week to jazz it up a little, and some good links to some music websites. Oh and for the articles I had pictures of the Band members and lead singers. Makayla a.k.a user:rikka



Paramore is Riot! All of us or most have probably heard the song the “Misery Business” or “Crushcrushcrush”. But do you know how the song is by? Well it’s Paramore, and those 2 songs are from their latest album //Riot!// The lead singer in the group is Hayley Williams and she also plays the keyboard if needed. We can’t forget the other band members either! There’s Josh Farro on the lead guitar and back ground vocals, Jeremy Davis on the bass guitar on Zac farro on the drums. The band has 2 albums out so far; //all we know is falling// and //Riot!// //All We Know is Falling// was the group’s debut album, and //Riot! //Is their newest one. Their first single was “Misery Business” Which received wide radio play, and they became artist of the week on MTV. Some of the band influences came from the groups Jimmy Eat World and Sunny day Real Estate. Here are some of the Genres that the group sings: Pop Punk, Power pop, and Pop rock. Also at the release time of their album Riot! Most of the band members were only from the age range of 17 to 23! In 2002, at age 13 Hayley Williams (the lead vocals) moved from her home town to Franklin, Tennessee. This is where she meets the two brothers Josh and Zac Farro while they were attending a private school. While at the school Hayley took vocal lessons with Brent Manning. Prior to forming Paramore, Hayley and Jeremy Davis (Bassist) took part in a funk cover called the Factory. While the Farro brothers were practicing after school. The other members of the soon Paramore band were a little edgy about Hayley being their lead vocalist, since they were really good friends she stared writing form then and it all worked out. The band was officially formed by the Farro brothers, Jeremy Davis and Hayley herself in 2004! With the later addition of Hayley’s neighbor Jason Bynum the rhythm Guitar. Right now you might be thinking how did they get the name Paramore? Well it comes from the word paramour, which means secret lovers. The group decided to use the name, and spell it like Paramore. user:rikka

4Ever with The Veronicas!  Some of us might know The Veronicas, But for those that don’t they are a duet of two sisters, Jessica and Lisa Origliasso. Their little band started in Brisbane, Australia. Another thing is the two girls are both twins, so both of their birthdays are on December 25, 1984 (Age: 23). Some of the genres that they sing are pop rock, dance pop, punk pop, Alternative rock, power pop, and elector pop. Some songs that we might know are “4Ever” and “Everything Thing I’m Not”.  Right now you’re probably wondering how did they get the band name The Veronicas? Most know the Archie comic book series right? Well the character named Veronica Lodge was their inspiration! When the company making the comic found out that the sister duo were using the name they got sued. The one thing they disliked the most was being called a female duo. However they tried to separate themselves from each other while in the music business. But later on the company agreed to let the sisters use the name for their band. One of the sisters says” We Like being called a Band or a group. We don’t like being called a pop duo group with two girls singing about relationships, we have everything that a rock band has” Says Lisa.  Some of the Veronicas Albums are: //The Secret Life Of…,// and //Hook Me Up.// The Group also has a few singles too, here’s some of them: “4Ever”, “Everything I’m Not”, “When it Falls Apart”, “Revolution”, Leave me Alone”, “Hook me Up”, “Untouched”, and “This is Love”. The Veronicas live in Los Angeles, California. Lisa one of the sisters was previously dating singer Ryan Cabrera, but right now she’s dating Australian Idol contestant Dean Geyer. Jessica is dating Azaria, lead singer of the band The Follow.
