Paramore's latest album debuted to critical acclaim-and at No. 1 on the charts, their first to do so. This despite the departure of founding (but apparently not integral) members Josh and Zac Farro, who left in a rather dramatic Internet kerfuffle a couple years back. The band begins their "Self-Titled" tour this month. They've broadened their original pop-punk sound, but retained the same high energy and charisma-is it enough to make fans get on board for "Parahoy," a four-day Paramore cruise ship tour in 2014? Not everyone would sign up to be trapped on the high seas for four days with wall-to-wall Hayley Williams stalkers, but Paramore fans might just be the only exception (get it?). (Stephen Layton)
