HalfNoise is an American alternative rock musical project by Zac Farro, formerly drummer of the band Paramore. Based in Nashville, Tennessee, Farro formed the project alongside Jason Clark following Farro's departure from Paramore. The project now consists of Farro alone.
History
HalfNoise was created two days after Zac Farro's departure from Paramore, under the original name "Tunnel".[1] Zac took part in this new project, along with Jason Clark, releasing a new song called "Hide Your Eyes" [2][3][4] The duo then renamed themselves "HalfNoise" due to other bands being named "Tunnel" and on the 14th June 2012 released "Free the House" their first official song and music video. Farro and Clark had earlier been together in a band with Taylor York and Zac's brother Josh Farro prior to Paramore.
In March 2011, it was announced that Zac Farro would be joining his brother's band Novel American, but would still continue take part in HalfNoise.[5][6][7]
Influences
Zac has stated that some of his influences include: Jimmy Eat World, Radiohead, Death Cab for Cutie, Mew, Paper Route, Sigur Ros, Thrice, Sunny Day Real Estate and múm.[8] Farro has been influenced by Dave Grohl (former drummer of Nirvana and current singer/songwriter of Foo Fighters and drummer for Them Crooked Vultures), William Goldsmith (former drummer of Sunny Day Real Estate and Foo Fighters, replaced by Taylor Hawkins) and Riley Breckenridge (drummer for the band, Thrice).
