Paramore shared an interesting photo on their socials today, which shows members Hayley Williams and Taylor York with former drummer Zac Farro and Justin Meldal-Johnsen, who served as producer on the band’s self-titled album.

At this point in time, it is only speculation as to what—if anything—this means. Farro drummed on Paramore’s first three albums (All We Know Is Falling, Riot! and Brand New Eyes). Zac, along with his brother Josh, left the band in 2010.

Zac has stayed somewhat quiet since his departure, but has played in both Half Noise and Novel American. Ilan Rubin recorded drums for Paramore’s self-titled album, and Underoath’s Aaron Gillespie has been performing with the band on recent tours.

Paramore are currently in the process of creating what will be their fifth full-length album. Do you think Zac has some sort of involvement? While it may seem unlikely, and this picture may just be some friends grabbing food together, it was posted on Paramore’s social pages for a reason. What do you think it is?

We have reached out to a representative of the band and are waiting to hear back. We will update this story when we receive any further information.

Williams tweeted about going to a Half Noise show and seeing Zac in April.
