Even as it's winning new fans in the pop world, Paramore is working to keep its alternative rock base happy.
The Nashville quintet is currently working two singles -- "The Only Exception," a ballad which has scaled to No. 28 on the Hot 100, and "Careful," which is geared to the alt market. And guitarist Josh Farro tells Billboard.com that he feels the latter is particularly important.
"We really appreciate alternative rock situations, 'cause that's where we started and I think it's important to cater to them," he explains. " 'The Only Exception' is doing so well on pop radio, but we want to make sure we keep our relationship with alternative rock stations. That's why we put 'Careful' out, is to give both radio (formats) a song."
