On this episode of Dem Vinyl Boyz, we crank up the volume and dive into one of the defining pop-punk albums of the 2000s — Paramore’s 2007 breakout record, Riot!
With Hayley Williams’ powerhouse vocals leading the charge, Riot! captured a generation’s angst, passion, and urgency with hits like “Misery Business,” “That’s What You Get,” and “Crushcrushcrush.” The band’s high-octane energy and emotionally raw lyrics helped solidify their place in the pop-punk and emo-rock scene, earning the respect of fans and critics alike.
We explore how the album’s polished yet aggressive sound, created with producer David Bendeth, launched Paramore into stardom and defined an era for alternative music. From catchy hooks to cathartic breakdowns, Riot! remains a time capsule of rebellion, heartbreak, and identity — and it’s never sounded better than on vinyl.
So throw on your skinny jeans, straighten that fringe, and join us as we relive the chaos and brilliance of Paramore’s Riot!
