The young and edgy rock band ended last year on a sour note when two members, brothers Josh and Zac Farro left the band. Now, after a lot of recuperating, the band’s ready to release new material for fans, ending the year on a high note.

In October, they unveiled their new song “Renegade” and now, “Hello Cold World” is finally revealed. It’s a high-energy pop-rock song about standing up for what you believe in.

The band, led by the spunky front woman Hayley Williams, told fans: “We really wanted to do something special for all of you … to thank you for making 2011 so amazing and sticking with us as we go into 2012 and start working on a new album.”

If you’re impatiently waiting for your fave band to put our their fourth album, I guess these three songs will have to do for now. Listen to the complete song posted below.

Hayley Williams of Paramore has revealed the band has written four more songs for the next record.

“We have written four new songs and they are quite diverse,” Williams said. “There are some heavier songs, but there’s also one that we plan to play live soon that is called ‘In The Morning Mess.’” She added, “I can’t really say that ‘Monster’ is an indication of what to expect on the next Paramore album. We, as a band, will always try to evolve and try new things. It will be different for sure, but it will still keep Paramore’s essence.”

Paramore’s lead singer Haley Williams is not pregnant and she’s not the reason for the band’s breakup, in fact the group is still very much together.

Williams got her first taste of the out-of-control Hollywood rumour mill just one day after she posted an entry explaining why the band was pulling out of scheduled European shows. The post was pretty vague and tongues started wagging that Paramore was no more.

“Since we posted the last entry, we’ve gotten tons of phone calls and people posting things on Web sites saying that we are breaking up. I just want to make it clear, though … we weren’t saying the band was over,” Williams wrote in a new entry to clear up the pesky rumous.

“We posted because we are going through hard times and we felt that because we have a really good support system in you guys, our fans, it would be better for us to just be honest about what’s going on -even though it was a pretty vague explanation.”

That explanation led to gossip blogs and fans speculated what the “internal issues” Williams mentioned in the post were alluding to. One particularly popular rumour was that the red-haired singer was breaking up the band because she was pregnant, MTV News reports.

“Man, some of the rumors that I’ve heard going around are insane! It’s weird how out of hand things can get even when you just try to tell a simple truth (for the record, my Eggo is not preggo),” Williams wrote.

“Anyway, we just need to take time to make this band the best it can be … and we are doing that now.”
