Paramore Return With Melodramatic 'Monster'
Lindsey Byrnes

Paramore released "Monster," their first new tune since the departure of band members Josh and Zac Faro, on YouTube today. The song, which will appear on the soundtrack of Transformers: Dark of the Moon, has a suitably huge and melodramatic sound, with frontwoman Hayley Williams solemnly singing "I'll stop the whole world from turning into a monster eating us alive!" over loud, ominous guitars. The track will hit digital stores on June 7th and the soundtrack album will be out on June 14th.

“Time to Pretend”

MGMT | 2008

Listening to MGMT’s breakthrough song, one might interpret it as being about the excesses of rock stardom, but it’s actually about the duo’s pet praying mantis. Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden told Rolling Stone they got the idea from the insect's jerky movements. The mantis died, but the two bandmates kept the egg sack and allowed the hundreds of eggs to hatch. “We tried to name them all, but they died after a day,” said Goldwasser, with VanWyngarden chiming in, “But the praying mantis dance inspired us.”
