Hayley Williams is best known as the singer of the American rock band Paramore, which formed in the early 2000s and became widely known for songs including “Misery Business” and “Still Into You”. She has also released music under her own name, alongside continuing to work with other musicians.
Power Snatch is a project with producer and songwriter Daniel James, who has worked with a range of pop and alternative artists. Their music is being released through Bandcamp, an online platform that lets artists sell recordings directly to listeners.
An EP is a short release, usually containing fewer songs than an album. The project’s sound has been linked to alternative rock of the 1990s, a broad style associated with guitar-based music that often sat outside mainstream pop.
