    Following a public war of words and the departure of two founding members, Paramore’s fourth album was always going to be a difficult record to make. Thankfully, not only have they soldiered on as a trio, they’ve raised the bar for “pop rock” in the process. Coming over two parts Karen O to one part Taylor Swift, Hayley Williams is unquestionably still the driving force behind the band, but the diversity of sounds and the intricacy of instrumentation here confirm that the album was truly a group effort. Indeed, their willingness to experiment proves to be their greatest strength, with the rock bombast of ‘Now’ contrasting brilliantly against the funky, gospel choir-bolstered ‘Ain’t It Fun’.

    As the dawn broke on 2013, industry tastemakers got together to predict the main musical trends in the next 12 months. Ladies and gentlemen, these are their findings: 2013 was decreed to be the “Year of the Guitar” and this Lambeth-formed four-piece were duly elected as the ringleaders of the resurgence. Factor in their recent BBC Sound of 2013 nomination, and the NME award they bagged with their very first single, and you’ll see why poor Palma Violets have a lot to live up to with their debut album. Cynics might sneer that they’re not reinventing the wheel with this knowingly-retro, reverb-laden set, but that’s the whole point: 180 is good, old-fashioned, rock ‘n’ roll fun, and continues the legacy of label mates The Libertines and The Strokes nicely.
