The history of Paramore as a band is an interesting, yet tumultuous one. Their rise was meteoric following "Misery Business" and the band has never looked back since, even if it has evolved in time. In that time, Zac and Josh Farro would exit Paramore, but that's not even the most interesting part. Bandmates come and go all the time. It's a part of the natural evolution of any band.

What's most interesting is that while Josh has continued to stay away from the band, Zac Farro has since returned to Paramore. It's rare to see band members return to the band they left years after, but to see one brother return while the other hasn't is the real headscratcher. To understand why, readers must first understand why they left Paramore in the first place.

In December , Paramore released a now-deleted blog statement announcing the Farros' exit, stating that the two hadn't been happy for the past year so, while not shocked, they wanted the brothers to go where they'd be happy. On December 21, Josh responded with a statement on behalf of himself and his brother via his blog.

The statement starts with tension, as Josh suggests their statement was hastily released in response to Hayley's statement, which was released "without my permission. We were not going to issue a statement until we worked out our exit agreement with Hayley. Josh continues, stating that internal issues with Paramore started all the way back when they were performing out of their garage in high school, saying that's when the band became all about Hayley.

He claimed that every move they'd make as a band was controlled by Hayley's manager and parents. Hayley was initially pressured by her manager and parents to go solo, until her label decided to let Hayley be in a band with the Farros, but not their friends Taylor and Jason who were in the band before Hayley's arrival.
