Monthly Mix: May 2017

Paramore returns After Laughter

     Spring is in full swing and the birds have began chirping and singing. May brought a garden of fresh flowers, and also a huge batch of new music.
     Tennessee pop-punkers Paramore are back with a new album entitled After Laughter [May 12th, via Fueled by Ramen]. Frontwoman Hayley Williams describes the album as life after a period of bad times. On the first single "Hard Times," the band shows off it's energetic rock side and features great xylophone work. Check them out on tour as they swing through Europe this summer and the U.S. in the fall, with a big gig at Riot Fest.
     As the sunshine continues to shine bright, it's refreshing to know that new tunes are loaded on the iPod. The May Playlist makes a great soundtrack for sitting on the patio with a cold cocktail.
