Digging with Hayley Williams and Flo

Flo is back on the allotment today with a packed-out interview featuring a beguilingly down-to-earth star.

Hayley Williams, co-founder and lead vocalist of Paramore, the pop-punk band that defined the lives of 2000s teens and beyond, signed a “360 deal” with Atlantic Records in 2003 at just 14 years old.

She joins Flo on the allotment to celebrate the release of her new record, Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party, which she’s putting out independently on her own label, Post Atlantic.

As they plant cabbages, Flo and Hayley talk about the making of the album, day-to-day life in her hometown of Nashville, growing up in a Southern Baptist church community, and her perspective on US culture today. They also delve into the important topic of the Twilight soundtrack and Hayley’s recent collaboration with David Byrne for the upcoming Twits film. As she says on the plot: she’s lived a hundred lives, but it feels like she’s only just getting started.
