Writer, Paramore (page 84)

<

Keiper, a 30-year-old writer for The Tennessean, was surprised by the maturity of the pop-punk sensations. “They have a directed focus on their lives,” she says. “I’ve got 11 years on Hayley Williams, but I wanted to ask her advice on how to get my shit together!” Keiper also contributes to Modern Drummer. Favorite Paramore song: “Misery Business”

Miko Lim

Photographer, Chicago hip-hop (page 68) < Lim, a resident of Tokyo, was struck by the laid-back vibe at the shoot for Chicago’s newest hip-hop stars. “It had a family-reunion feel,” he says. “Everyone was cozy and cool and poking fun at each other.” Lim, whose work has appeared in Nylon, Giant, and Marie Claire, recently directed his first TV commercial. Favorite hip-hop album: OutKast’s ATLiens

Kid Rock

Viki Forshee Photographer, Paramore (page 84) > “There is a real sense of a united band,” Forshee (bottom center) says of Paramore. “No one tries to be bigger or more noticed than the others. I didn’t want to tell them how to pose, because they get into place and are just perfect.” New Yorker Forshee, 35, has also shot for Nylon, ID, and Elle. Favorite music at age 18: Sick of It All, Edith Piaf

Andy Greenwald Writer, Vampire Weekend (page 60) < “They were outrageously young,” Greenwald says of this month’s cover stars. “Every time they mentioned a Radiohead album I loved in college, they were talking about middle school!” The 30-year-old Brooklynite is the author of Miss Misery: A Novel (Simon Spotlight). Middle-school Afropop obsession: “Johnny Clegg, the ‘white Zulu’ of South Africa.”
