recorded with Rob Cavallo

Paramore spent six weeks in pre-production at Emac Studios in their hometown of Franklin , the first time they had undergone pre-production without the guidance of a producer . The band was visited by record producer Rob Cavallo who reassured the band that they were on the right track. The band subsequently felt that the album and that their new material had the potential to surpass the success of their previous work. The band originally planned to record in Nashville , but ended up recording in Calabasas, California , with Cavallo in March 2009. The first single from the album was ” Ignorance ” and was released July 7, 2009. Paramore was the special guest with Bedouin Soundclash , The Sounds and Janelle Monáe at the No Doubt Summer Tour 2009 , starting in May 2009 in outdoor amphitheaters and arenas across the US and Canada. The official music video for “Ignorance” aired on all MTV platforms, networks, and websites on August 13, 2009. Paramore, along with Paper Route and The Swellers , toured in support of Brand New Eyes in the fall of 2009. Some tour dates were postponed due to Hayley Williams becoming infected with laryngitis . ” Brick By Boring Brick “, ” The Only Exception “, ” Careful ” and ” Playing God ” were the album’s following singles. “The Only Exception” was a top-forty single and went platinum in Ireland and the UK. To promote the album, the band recorded a performance for MTV Unplugged .
