While in the midst of talking to Paramore about their upcoming new album Brand New Eyes, MTV’s James Montgomery paused to discuss a mutual source of admiration for both he and the band: Sunny Day Real Estate. The Seattle quartet recently announced their reunion, and the members of Paramore (who cover Sunny Day Real Estate’s “Faces in Disguise” regularly) couldn’t be happier.
“It’s like a religious kind of experience,” said Hayley Williams. “We were all too young to go to one of their shows, but now, I will fly out to see one of those shows.”
Guitarist Taylor York has a particular affection for the group’s six-string work. “Sometimes their guitar lines sound Middle Eastern,” he says. “It’s weird, but I like it.”
