Paramore fans worried that it will be awhile before they hear new music have nothing to fear.  The Tennessee pop/punk group plans to release new songs this summer.

"We are going to go tomorrow to South America to do a tour," singer Hayley Williams told AOL Music.  "And then when we get back, we're hoping to record a batch of songs to release over the summer.  All the details aren't worked out yet, but we definitely do want to release ['In the Mourning'] and some other ones before we put out a record."

When news of founding members Josh (guitarist) and Zac Farro (drummer) departing Paramore broke, many questioned the future of the band.  The brothers were replaced by guitarist Taylor York's brother Justin, and former Nine Inch Nails drummer Josh Freese.

Paramore made their live debut with the new lineup earlier this week in Brasília, Brazil.  Check out video of their new song "In The Mourning" below.
