Paramore guitarist Josh Farro admits that the group are feeling the pressure recording their new album.

The band are currently penning tracks for the follow-up to their second LP 'Riot!', which recently went platinum in the US.

Speaking to Billboard, Farro said the group have got to “beat that or at least match it, and that's a hard thing to do these days.”

The guitarist he has written between seven and ten as-yet-incomplete songs for the album, while frontwoman Hayley Williams has been writing the lyrics.

“She's kind of just waiting on me to finish my musical ideas before I can give them to her. It's a slow process,” he said.

Although the band have yet to select a producer, Farro admitted that there were “a lot of big-name guys we're going to meet with.”

“It feels pretty good to have some big-name producers that really want to record you're band, but ... I think we're gonna wait 'til we have some actual songs that are finished,” he added.
