Paramore, Birmingham Academy

PARAMORE brought the house down with a stunning show.

The up-and-coming American band were tight, bright and loud, roared on by a packed house of Midland fans.

Conditions kicked the night off with a tight set, followed by the superb Kids In Glass Houses, from Wales. Next up were New Found Glory, who were so good they gave Paramore a tough act to follow.

But the headliners managed it, starting with debut single All We Know Is Falling to get the crowd jumping right from the very start. They followed up with Crush Crush Crush, Emergency and Pressure and chose Misery Business to send everyone home happy.

Come back soon.
