Who are we?
New england's own paramore tribute
Anklebiters is New England’s very own Paramore Tribute act. Based out of Worcester, MA, this tribute was formed with one goal in mind: to provide a dynamic, high-energy facsimile to emulate the experience of a true Paramore performance. Featuring the fiery, powerful vocals, driven and technically skilled guitar performances, punchy bass, and hard-hitting drums Paramore is known for, this 5-piece tribute act prides itself on its authentic performances of Paramore’s greatest songs. From the early emo years of Misery Business and Pressure, through their pop-inspired Ain’t It Fun and Still Into You, to their modern sound on Hard Times and The News, Anklebiters delivers a lively journey through Paramore’s entire career, drawing inspiration from their most iconic live and studio performances.
Meet the band
Paul - drums
Paul is Anklebiters' beating heart. His passion is palpable from the cheap seats. Paul's favorite songs to perform are Careful, Ignorance, and For a Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic, .
Evan - bass
The only thing more engaging than Evan's dedication to accuracy across Paramore's intense diversity of bass styles is his nonstop movement across the stage. He takes his 10+ years of performing and does justice to Paramore's entire catalog. Evan's favorite songs to perform are Brick by Boring Brick, Still into You, and The News.
Tony - guitar, vocals
Tony's energy is neck-and-neck with Evan's - it's hard to say who's more active on stage. Tony has performed across New England, and brings his powerful stage presence to Anklebiters. Tony's favorite songs to perform are Ignorance, Brick by Boring Brick, and Careful.
Alex - guitar
Our resident metalhead shreds his way through Paramore's pop punk-driven early years and nails with technical perfection their current off-kilter tones. Alex's favorite songs to perform are Decode, For a Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic, and Brick by Boring Brick.
Leah - vocals
A 10-year veteran performer, Leah brings her powerhouse vocals and fiery stage presence to the front of Anklebiter's lively performances. She's spent years studying Hayley's performances and drawing inspiration from her skill, authenticity, and punk-rock ethos - now she gets to put that to use! Leah's favorite songs to perform are Careful, Decode, and Figure 8.
