This morning I was checking out the chart at
We Are Hunted, and found Paramore at No. 31 with a new ditty, "Ignorance." The recording of the song at YouTube is kinda murky, a bootleg from a live show that includes some teenage voiceover, but you can make out a big, choppy intro riff that goes right into the chug-chugging verse not unlike the band's supermegaultrahit "Misery Business." Maybe I'm just in the '80s headspace for tonight's 8 off 8th, but on this song, Hayley Williams sounds a little bit like Pat Benatar in a couple places. And sounding like Pat Benatar is a good thing! I admire the band for sticking to their mall-punk guns, but what if they stripped away the octave chords and the Warped Tour riffs and tried to make their generation's
"Love Is a Battlefield"?
