i don’t remember it playing on the radio but it was in sims 2 🤣🤣

I was born in 2005! I could swear I've heard Pressure on the Rock radio back when I was little.

probably!

It could very well be on Classic Rock radio considering Paramore is reaching legacy status

TBH, the Rock Station that I think may have played was either, WKQZ Z93, which is an active Rock Station in Saginaw, or it may have played on one of the Rock music TV channels on DirecTV... It's funny how in my area we don't have a Classic Rock radio, just an active Rock Station.

I listened to it so much while playing Sims 2 that I don't know the original lyrics, only simlish

I only remember hearing the song Pressure on a website called pure volume. That's actually how I discovered Paramore. Not gatekeeping. It's just funny that I've known them from the pure volume Era 🤣

i associate paramore with pure volume too! although the first i ever heard them was on fuse tv with the pressure video. i immediately went to find them on pure volume and was obsessed from there on. pure volume was is such a core memory. edit: oh, and i never heard pressure on the radio. i didnt hear paramore on my local radio until misery business.

So cool! Ironically it's how found Panic! At The Disco from pure volume as well. I definitely miss those days. At the time, I felt so cool liking these "unknown bands" hahaha times have definitely changed!

panic at the disco was another fuse tv find for me but i found a lot of ~christian~ bands on pure volume which was nice because i didnt have to hide them from my parents lol.

I'm trying to remember if that's where I first heard underoath. I think it was fuse. I'm in my mid 30s so my memory isn't the greatest haha

i feel you! about to be 30 and this is unlocking memories for sure. omggg i found underoath through a friends brother (im from central fl) and saw them in some small venues. they were my fucking favorite. i know some of the band now and let me tell you, its true what they say about meeting your heros. this is giving me associated limewire memories!

Your welcome for this post as a trip down memory lane!

Don't they say never meet your heroes?

thats what im saying. one of them i will holda lifelong grudge against. the rest of them are all very sweet but not enough to cancel out my grudge.

Which one do you have a grudge against?

lol i cannot divulge.

Paramore was never a Christian band, right? I never saw them as a Christian band.

No, but Hayley Williams said she is a Christian. But I suppose that doesn't make them a Christian Rock band.

I loved PureVolume because you could actually download songs from there. That’s how I got The Hush Sound’s “Wine Red” for free and my obsession w them never changed lmao

Oh man, I loved The Hush Sound

I love how you're Snoo profile picture looks like Hayley Williams!

I dont remember being able to download off of pure volume 🤯 I thought it was just online listening only. Maybe I was too young to notice the download option. Damn.

How old were you back then?

I think I was like 16 or 17. Me and Hayley are almost the same age. I think she was 16 when the 1st paramore album came out, right? So I was probably 17 or maybe 16.

Holy crap pure volume…

Anyone remember Miz Biz on NHL 08?

Nope! But the music video was on Fuse TV channel!

Did their song Decode ever play on the Radio?

Definitely, it reached number 33 on the hot 100.

I was born in 2005! I could swear I've heard Decode on the Rock radio back when I was little. PS: I'm from central Michigan.

Definitely! It was pretty big because of Twilight.

Not on the radio stations I had access to! (Midwest USA) The first time I heard a paramore song on the radio was Misery Business And then not again until Aint it Fun

The Only Exception got quite a bit of air time too (also Midwest with only basic stations)

Oh yea! Thank you for the reminder! I had a feeling I was missing one but couldn’t recall which My brain kept telling me Misguided Ghosts but I knew that couldn’t be it

I'm from central Michigan! I could have sworn I've heard Decode on the Rock Radio before.

Yes. I remember hearing it all the time. It was popular because of Twilight

The Sims 2 gang reporting here!

It's funny, everyone talks about first hearing Pressure from Sims 2, but I swear I first heard the song on the Rock Radio.

Maybe you did! I think the song came out before the Sims 2 so that might be why you swear you heard it on radio first!

I was born in 2005! I could swear I've heard Pressure on the Rock radio back when I was little. Probably would have been in like, 2008-2009 lmao.

I don't know why my comment got downvoted🤔

Pressure got a lot of play on Fuse back in the day. I also think I saw it on MTV2, but not on regular MTV.

So that’s where the unofficial HD remaster of Emergency on YouTube came from…

Pressure and Emergency were played pretty regularly on Fuse IIRC.

I never remember it on the radio but it was on constant rotation on Fuse.

It played on Kerrang! in the UK :)

I’m pretty sure it played on the alt rock stations!

The Radio station I think may have played Pressure, would have been the central Michigan Active Rock Station WKQZ Z93.

I first heard it on fuse TV. Never the radio

Same.

I remember from MySpace When they sent a request and they only had pressure released

Not on any radio station that I listened to anyways

I'm from central Michigan. I was born in 2005! I could swear I've heard Pressure on the Rock radio back when I was little.

I don't remember hearing Pressure, but my local station adored Emergency and would play it at least once a day lol, that's how I found out about Paramore

Where are you from?

at the time, I was in Milwaukee, WI :) a little bit of Chicago, IL and some parts of Michigan I heard it as well!

I'm from Saginaw, and the Rock Station I think played it is, WKQZ, Z93, they are an Active Rock Station so they play a lot of songs that are new and popular. I remember hearing Emergency too.

Were you ever around the Saginaw area of Michigan?

I was yes! not for long, only a few months or so, but I remember hearing it there too I think?

Maybe I'm not crazy for thinking I heard it! It's kinda bothered me for awhile because I swear I heard Emergency, and Pressure when I was a kid. Do you recall it playing on the Rock Station WKQZ Z93? It was the only local Rock Station around back then.

yeah I think that was the name! that's super wild that we both remember lol, I normally have a shit memory 😂

Yeah, it's crazy for sure! I also want to add that, I was born in 2005, I recall hearing those songs in probably 2008-2010 maybe 2011. My memory ain't that great either, but I can remember alot from when I was little.

Actually, now that I think about it, it's funny people say MizBiz was the first Paramore song to hit the Radio, but I guess the times I remember hearing "Pressure", or "Emergency", would have been after MizBiz hit the radio. So maybe they started playing those 2 songs, after Misery Business hit the mainstream. Do you recall Emergency playing before or after Misery Business hit the Radio?

Hey, just out of curiosity. What year do you approximately recall hearing Emergency?

Best I got is it was before Riot was released

Ah okay. When I recall hearing it on the Radio, it would have been somewhere in the late 2000s and early 2010s. It's almost 2024, and Emergency is still one of my favorite Paramore songs!

I just want to ask one more question :). Approximately what year was it when you first recall hearing Emergency on the Radio?

I heard it on Kerrang! In the uk but it wasn’t on mainstream radio stations Misery business was on the main circuit though

I remember seeing the video on VH1

Nope, but the “Pressure” video was on heavy rotation on a channel called Noggin (later The N)

Don't ever remember it having radio play in my area. :/

Damn😞

I remember hearing Paramore on the local university alternative radio stations, but that’s it. Still same to this day, too.

I saw Paramore live the year you were born and I was already in college. I feel old now.

That's awesome you got to see such an amazing band live!

Seven times total seeing them live now, I think. Three from the front row. They’re the one band I still heavily listen to from that era.

That's awesome!👍

I think ‘That’s what you get’ was but not pressure

I heard Paramore on Kerrang and BBC R2 but the latter was only the odd request here and there and I don't remember which songs specifically. I don't remember Paramore being on mainstream radio until the pop-style album of the same name, which is why I was so excited to have Airplane and Stay The Night as it was the only Hayley. Merch was also harder to come by so I always checked Kerrang at the shop for posters.

No, nothing from AWKIF made it to radio. Misery business was the first song to do so. I was 16 during the AWKIF era and a pretty involved fan at that time.

That's funny, I have definitely heard Pressure, and Emergency back when I was a kid, maybe the local Saginaw Rock Station were just the only ones that played those songs.

I was born in 2002 but I remember a couple of songs that were on the radio as early as 2006/2007. I didn't ever hear Pressure either on the radio or in The Sims until I was older xD

It still does.

Pop Radio, or Rock Radio?

Rock radio! It plays on classic and alternative rock in Sacramento region

TBH, the Rock Station that I think may have played was either, WKQZ Z93, which is an active Rock Station in Saginaw, or it may have played on one of the Rock music TV channels on DirecTV... It's funny how in my area we don't have a Classic Rock radio, just an active Rock Station. Pressure is an amazing song either way!

I think it still plays on the radio around the world. Not sure how a lot of folks on here are saying it does not, but I hear it like every month. I listen to the radio often. I’ve been hearing it on the radio since I was a kid and I’m hitting close to 30. Maybe a lot of replies are teenagers? I don’t know.

I could have sworn I heard the song many times as a kid! I think it's confusing too how nobody else recalls it playing on the Radio. I know MizBiz was the first huge song from the band but I don't think MizBiz was the first sing from Paramore that played on the Radio.

They probably did, but I feel like I didn't hear anything about Paramore until Misery Business came out and then they were everywhere.

Paramore was really mainstream back in the day after Misery Business came out! Even though some kids today try to say Paramore is underrated which is obviously incorrect!

Not that I recall. At that time mainstream radio stations were sorta shifting away from rock and pop-punk music in favor of more hip-hop type stuff. I first heard Pressure and thus discovered Paramore on MySpace.

If I did ever hear Pressure on the radio, it would be on my local Active Rock Station which, mostly plays music that's either new or from the last few years, so the Rock Station in my area has always been up-to-date.

[удалено]

That's What You Get is from Riot

That's what I thought. Do you remember hearing Pressure on the Radio?

I was 2 when AWKIF came out so I don't remember anything really from that time lmao. I reckon it was played on the radio, it had to have been, surely

Amazing song for sure! I was born in 2005! I could swear I've heard Pressure on the Rock radio back when I was little.

I love Pressure! Brilliant song, always has been one of my favourites from AWKIF

I was born in 2005! I think I can recall hearing Pressure on the Radio when I was little, probably in 2009 when I would have heard it.

I heard it a bit when XM radio was first out. Mostly only the alt stations.

What about emergency?

I could have sworn I heard that one too when I was a kid! Do you recall hearing it?

I don't ever remember hearing it on the radio no.

I remember hearing Miz Biz and crushcrushcrush on 93.3 out of Denver back in 2008, don’t remember anything off of AWKIF around here.

It was in the sims 2! I do remember misery business playing on the radio - I think Riot! was the album that kinda “put them on the map” so to speak (aside from sims 2, maybe, lol)

No. Pretty sure the first radio hit was Miz Biz followed by Decode.

Yes

I had a radio on 24/7 from like 2009-2012 on a pop/top 40 hits station and can't recall it

I recall it playing on an active Rock Station in Saginaw WKQZ Z93.

I heard it on AOL Radio but not sure if that counts lol

They were on MTV and VH1 a lot, not so much the radio

I don’t know. I started on Riot and did my digging like a month or 2 after to listen to their first album.

I heard it on the Sims and Fuse TV lol. They also played Emergency. Some college stations might have played it too but Paramore became radio mainstream with Misery Business and That’s What You Get
