 Ex-Paramore guitarist and songwriter JOSH FARRO has finally talked about his new band NOVEL AMERICAN in an interview with MTV News. Farro's wife (Jenna Farro) came up with the band name for the four-piece. Farro plays guitar in Novel American, with Nashville friends Van Beasley on vocals, Tyler Ward on drums, and Ryan Clark on bass. All four members met in high school and Farro's new band-mates are formerly of Cecil Adora (as is Justin York). Of his departure from Paramore, Josh Farro said to MTV News: "[Paramore fans] just don't want this to be some dragged-out drama-fest. They just want to move on. I watched [MTV News' 'Paramore: The Last Word' interview], and, you know, I think we just disagree on a lot of things, and that's OK. I don't think it's wrong to disagree with someone, so, um, yeah, I just wish them the best in the future, and I really don't want to make it this huge drama thing, because then it becomes this huge war, and I don't want to dwell on that. I'm more excited about the future and this new band and that sort of thing." "I think 'liberating' is a great description of how I've felt over the past month. Coming from Paramore, I didn't think that I would want to be in a band or want to have anything to do with it, and so, when I actually found that passion and love for music again, I was like, 'Wow, this is great.' We felt like we were in high school, we were all so giddy, and we still are, because everything is falling in place perfectly, and that first practice was great, and from then on, we've just been on cloud nine."
