The band's third album, Brand New Eyes, was released in 2009. Their fourth album, simply titled Paramore, came out in 2013. In 2014, Jeremy was even nominated for Best Bassist at the Alternative Press Music Awards.
On December 14, 2015, it was announced that Jeremy would no longer be in Paramore. The band continued as a duo with Hayley Williams and Taylor York. Later, there were some disagreements about the band's music and earnings. Paramore continued to make music and perform.
