Hayley Williams has revealed that the upcoming Paramore album has been influenced by Bloc Party.Speaking on her Everything Is Emo podcast, Williams started by praising Bloc Party’s 2005 record ‘Silent Alarm’.“We loved this band, me and all my friends, we were really into that album and it always reminds me of getting my driving licence.
