Hayley Williams’ new band Power Snatch has dropped a new EP.
The Paramore frontwoman launched her new band six months ago with producer Daniel James, and now the duo have unveiled their second release.
On Wednesday (12.08.26), Power Snatch surprised fans by dropping EP2 via Bandcamp, featuring four
new songs.
The collection is made up of Machete, New Legs, Born Dead and Hell Is A Highway, boasting a 90s alt rock vibe with Hayley’s vocals shining through.
Hayley – who released her most recent solo album, Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party, in August 2025 – has pushed on with Power Snatch after previously declaring that she wants to “be in 100 bands before I die”.
She told producer Jack Antonoff in a joint conversation for Rolling Stone magazine: “There’s no point to me otherwise.
“I made this record, and it kind of feels like it just exploded out. It does feel right to put it out under my name.
“But I think I have to exercise saying that I feel like it’s the last record I’ll do under my name, and I feel proud of that.
“I want to be in 100 bands before I die. I like that feeling of being in a room with people and something that didn’t exist becomes a thing that you’re all holding.”
She also told Kerrang! why she turned to her solo career over Paramore – who haven’t released an album since 2023’s This Is Why – for her latest full-length release.
She explained: “It wasn’t time to make another Paramore record, but I had a lot of s*** to say, so I’ve done what I’ve done for myself and made this record [Ego Death At A Bachelorette Party].
“It’s OK that it’s me by myself and not Paramore right now. Paramore will always have its time because it’s just what we do.
“We cycle back in and out of it. We resent it one minute. We want to wear matching clothes in the next minute.”
Beyond the new Power Snatch EP, Hayley is keeping busy after wrapping up the Bachelorette Party tour in June.
On September 3, she’ll kick off The Hayley Williams Show tour across North and Latin America, which will run until late November.
