Paramore, who are about to embark on a UK tour this December, chose not to record the soundtrack for the new movie in the Twilight series despite the success from recording the soundtrack for the first installment.

Paramore recorded the soundtrack Decode for Twilight starring British actor Robert Pattinson, with many fans eagerly anticipating the second installment called New Moon.

However, lead singer Hayley Williams explains that Paramore declined the opportunity to record the follow up to Decode because she did not want Paramore to be referred to as the ‘movie band’.

Hayley Williams said she would rather leave the opportunity to record the movie soundtrack to another band, rather than capitalising on the success from the movie industry.

Hayley Williams also revealed that the band were asked to record for the Transformers 2 movie, but would rather focus on their own album to promote.

Paramore release their third studio album Brand New Eyes this week and coincides with the upcoming tour of major UK arenas this December.

The Paramore tour kicks off at the Glasgow SECC and Clyde Auditorium (December 10) and will also be playing at the Birmingham National Indoor Arena (December 11), Cardiff International Arena (December 14), Manchester Evening News Arena (December 16) and the Brighton Centre (December 17) before drawing the tour to a close at the London Wembley Arena (December 18).
