Papa Roach is an Americanrock band fromVacaville, California, formed in 1993. The original lineup consisted of lead vocalistJacoby Shaddix, guitaristJerry Horton, drummer Dave Buckner, bassist Will James, and trombonist Ben Luther.
After releasing two EPs, James departed and was replaced by Tobin Esperance. The band independently released two additional EPs before signing with DreamWorks Records in 1999, subsequently releasing the triple-platinumInfest in 2000, the gold albumLovehatetragedy in 2002, and the platinum albumGetting Away with Murder in 2004. Following the release ofThe Paramour Sessions in 2006, Buckner left the band in 2007 and was succeeded byTony Palermo. Papa Roach then releasedMetamorphosis (2009),Time for Annihilation (2010),The Connection (2012),F.E.A.R. (2015),Crooked Teeth (2017), andWho Do You Trust? (2019). The group's eleventh studio album,Ego Trip, was released in 2022.
Papa Roach's formation began in January 1993 when lead singerJacoby Shaddix and drummer Dave Buckner met on theVacaville High School football field. They were later joined by lead guitaristJerry Horton from nearbyVanden High School, rhythm guitarist Anne Mikolajcik, trombonist Ben Luther, and bassist Will James.[1] They decided to enter the school's talent show, performing a rendition ofJimi Hendrix's song "Fire". Ultimately, they did not win the talent show. In March 1993, Ben Luther left the band, followed by Anne Mikolajcik. During this period, Papa Roach practiced daily and toured extensively, playing every gig they could secure. The band's first tour van was named Moby Dick, which inspired Shaddix to adopt his initial stage name, "Coby Dick." Initially, the band was called "Papa Gato," as suggested by Buckner, but Shaddix changed it to Papa Roach, combining the nickname of his maternal grandfather, Herbert Fischer "Papa," with "Roach," derived from his paternal grandfather, John "Grandpa" Roatch. Both grandparents were musicians.[2]
In 1994, Papa Roach released its firstEP, titledPotatoes for Christmas. Drummer Dave Buckner was temporarily replaced by Ryan Brown while he spent the year inSeattle, studying art. In 1995, the band released a demo at Sound Farm Studios titledCaca Bonita. By this time, Buckner had returned. In 1996, the group replaced original bassist Will James with longtime roadie Tobin Esperance, as James' involvement in a church summer camp limited the band's summer rehearsals and touring.
On February 4, 1997, the band's debut studio album, titledOld Friends from Young Years, was released. At this time, the group was actively touring, supporting bands such asIncubus,Powerman 5000,Hed PE,Snot,Far, andStatic-X.
In 1998, Papa Roach released an EP titled5 Tracks Deep, which sold more than 1,000 copies within its first month of release. In 1999, the band produced another EP, their final independent release, titledLet 'Em Know. Its success attracted the attention ofWarner Music Group, which, as part of a development deal, provided a modest amount of funding for the production of a five-track promotional demo CD.[3] The band sought out influential rock producerJay Baumgardner to produce the record.[3] In an interview withHitQuarters, Baumgardner stated, "At first, I wasn't really convinced it would work out, but then I saw a video of them performing at a club – I saw all these kids going wild, knowing the songs by heart – and that's when I realized that they definitely had potential."[3]
Warner Bros. was unimpressed with the demo and chose not to sign the group.[3] The unreleased disc included the tracks "Infest," "Last Resort," "Broken Home," "Dead Cell," and "She Loves Me Not".
Shortly thereafter,DreamWorks Records offered the band a recording contract.
After signing with DreamWorks Records in October 1999, Papa Roach promptly entered the studio to record their major-label debut album, titledInfest.[4][5] The album featured songs from their earlier independent releases, including "Infest," "Last Resort," "Broken Home," and "Dead Cell" from the Warner Bros. demo CD; "Revenge In Japanese" as "Revenge" and "Thrown Away" from their5 Tracks Deep EP; and "Legacy," "Binge," "Snakes," and a softer version of the originally heavier "Tightrope" from theLet 'Em Know EP. These tracks were re-recorded, along with three additional newly written songs: "Obsession" (later known as "Between Angels and Insects"), "Blood Brothers," and "Never Enough."Infest was released on April 25, 2000, and sold 30,001 copies in its first week.[6]
With the release of their second album and the recording of the music video for "Last Resort," Papa Roach embarked on theVans Warped Tour and several other major tours, including theAnger Management Tour alongsideLimp Bizkit and rap acts such asEminem,Xzibit,D12,Ludacris, andX-Ecutioners.[7][8] In 2000, they launched their headlining "Master Bay" tour, supported byLinkin Park andHed PE.[9] The band received a nomination for "Best New Artist in a Video" at the2000 MTV Video Music Awards for "Last Resort."[10]
In late 2000, the band toured theUnited Kingdom, demonstrating the rapid expansion of their global popularity. OnSaint Patrick's Day in 2001, Papa Roach began the "Raid The Nation" tour in the U.S, which includedAlien Ant Farm andOrgy as opening acts.[11] During that year, the band also participated inOzzfest, where they performed on the prestigious main stage during both theUnited States and United Kingdom tours.[12] The song "Blood Brothers" was also featured in the popular video gameTony Hawk's Pro Skater 2.[13]
After touring worldwide, the band returned to the studio to record their third album, initially titledBorn to Rock, but later renamedLovehatetragedy.[14] The album was released in the United States on June 18, 2002. Although it did not outsellInfest, it achieved higher chart positions in both the United States and United Kingdom album charts. The album has sold over 500,000 copies and has been certifiedgold.[15] The album featured a greater emphasis on singing rather than rapping, while the band retained theirnu metal sound. It produced two singles: "She Loves Me Not" and "Time and Time Again", both of which included elements of rapping along with therap metal sound characteristic ofInfest.[16] The music video for "Time and Time Again" was featured in aPepsi Blue commercial.[17] That same year, the band embarked on a tour to supportLovehatetragedy, which included performances on the secondAnger Management Tour. This tour was co-headlined by Eminem and Papa Roach, alongside Ludacris, Xzibit, X-Ecutioners, and Bionic Jive.[18]
In late 2003, Papa Roach wrote and recorded their third album, initially titledDancing In the Ashes, which was released asGetting Away with Murder.[19] The band collaborated with well-known producerHoward Benson.[19] After completing the album, the band filmed a music video for the title track, "Getting Away with Murder", and went on a brief summer club tour to prepare for the subsequent tours.[20] The album marked a departure for the band, as it was their first album not to incorporate the nu metal style of their previous works.[21] Additionally, it was the band's first album that did not feature rapping.[21]Getting Away with Murder outsoldLovehatetragedy, primarily due to the success of the album's second single, "Scars". To date, the album has sold over one million copies and has been certifiedPlatinum. On November 9, 2004, the band released their fifth EP,Rolling Stone Original, an EP that was only available digitally.[22] On November 22, 2005, they released their first live album,Papa Roach: Live & Murderous in Chicago.[23]
In 2005, the band spent a significant amount of time on tour, which included a full United States and European tour alongside bands such asDead Poetic,Trust Company,Chronic Future,Skindred,311, andUnwritten Law.[24][25][26]
On September 12, 2006, Papa Roach released their fourth album,The Paramour Sessions.[27][28] The band named the album after the recording location, theParamour Mansion.[29] The idea for an album recorded in a mansion emerged while the band was working onGetting Away with Murder.[30] "...To Be Loved" was the first single released from the album and served as the official theme song forWWE Raw from 2006 to 2009.[31] The album debuted at No. 16 on the Billboard 200 chart.[32]
The band began touring in support of the album in August 2006, starting with an American tour followed by a European leg.[33] In October 2006, Papa Roach toured withGuns N' Roses during theirChinese Democracy tour.[34] They also served as the special guest band during the Zippo Hot Tour, alongsideHed PE and Stealing December.[35]
On October 10, 2006, aString Quartettribute album titledPerfect Murder: Strung Out on Papa Roach was released byVitamin Records.[36]
The band initially planned to release a compilation of acoustic recordings of their songs, including "Forever," "Scars," and "Not Coming Home," which was recorded forKROQ-FM's charity Christmas album,Kevin and Bean's Super Christmas. However, the acoustic compilation was later shelved. In an interview with Billboard, Shaddix expressed his belief that fans were not yet ready for an acoustic direction from the band.[37]
On April 25, 2007, it was announced that drummer Dave Buckner would be sitting out the band's touring schedule due to personal matters, with expectations for him to rejoin the group shortly thereafter. Shaddix later confirmed in an interview with Launch Radio Networks that Dave had entered rehab to "go clean his act up 'cause he was out of his mind."Unwritten Law drummerTony Palermo filled in on drums.[38]
In the summer of 2007, the band went on the Bad Boys of Rock tour, supportingHinder. During this tour, frontman Shaddix and Hinder lead singerAustin Winkler developed a strong friendship, leading to the band touring withHinder on multiple occasions in subsequent years. It was revealed in 2015 that Shaddix and Austin wrote and recorded a song together for part of Winkler's solo project, although both expressed uncertainty about whether the song would ever be released.[39]
In 2008, it was announced that the band would officially part ways with drummer Dave Buckner. It was also revealed that Buckner had sued the band, claiming he wasn't "receiving his fair share of the group's earnings."[40]
In an interview in February 2008 with99.7 The Blitz, Shaddix stated that the band was working on their next album, initially titledDays of War, Nights of Love. However, the album was later renamed toMetamorphosis to commemorate the band's tenth anniversary of signing withDreamWorks Records in 1999 and to reflect the various changes the band had experienced during that time.
On April 15, Papa Roach announced they would be touring as part ofMötley Crüe'sCrüe Fest, alongsideBuckcherry,Sixx:A.M., andTrapt. The tour commenced on July 1 inWest Palm Beach, Florida.[41] The release date for the album was confirmed as August 26 duringCrüe Fest.

"Lifeline" was nominated forFuse TV's Best Video of 2009 contest, surpassingMetallica's "All Nightmare Long",Daughtry's "No Surprise",Shinedown's "Sound of Madness", andParamore's "Ignorance". Ultimately, it finished 2nd toBritney Spears for her song "Circus" in the final round.

In a separate interview with Upvenue, bassist Tobin Esperance commented onTime for Annihilation, stating, "We put out five major label, full-length records, and we were transitioning from a major label to going independent. We wanted to do something different [...] we'd always talked about doing a live record, and it turned into 'let's add a couple of bonus songs' [...] and now it's half live, half new songs and it's kind of the past and present of Papa Roach. I think it's a good representation and a good reminder of what this band's about, [...] and it gives you a look at where our sound can go."[53]

Papa Roach has been described asalternative rock,[114][115][116][117]nu metal,[118][117][119]alternative metal,[120][121][122]rap metal,[103][123][124]hard rock,[125][126][127]rap rock,[128]punk rock,[106]pop rock,[124] andrapcore.[124] The band also incorporates elements ofpop,electronic, andhip hop.[129]
The band began as ahardcore punk group,[127] and evolved towards nu metal and rap metal styles on their early independent releases, and on their first two major label albums,Infest andLovehatetragedy.[123][130][131] Before Papa Roach released their major label albums, Jacoby Shaddix's singing style was compared toChino Moreno andLynn Strait ofSnot. Additionally, with their 2009 album,Metamorphosis, the band felt their music was undergoing a transformation to "stuff that's...harder and faster."[132]AllMusic has compared the band's recent work to 1980sglam metal,[120][133] while Allmusic staff writer Stephen Thomas Erlewine noted that "at the close of the 2000s, the quartet has shed the rap and the angst, ditching all the alt-metal accoutrements to become a knowing update of an '80s Sunset Strip sleaze rock outfit."[120] With the release ofF.E.A.R., bothMetalSucks and Metal Injection noted that the band had incorporated somedjent influences.[134][135]
In 2004, frontmanJacoby Shaddix said the following in an interview with the Dallas Music Guide regarding the band no longer using rapping in their music: "...the rapping's gone! I don't feel like rapping. I'm just over that...I just want to be a rocker. It's what I wanted to be when I was a kid". Shaddix has added this remark in another interview: "We're a band that tries to walk that line betweenmetal,hardcore,punk rock andpop music, and we do our best at trying to make it all cool".[136]
Prior to the release ofThe Connection, guitarist Jerry Horton said in an interview by VerdamMnis Magazine that "It's kind of a natural thing for us, we've always been changing throughout the years. Of course, there are some things that stay the same in our sound but we do like to try new things to sort of stretch out a little bit our basis and therefore make it more interesting". He also said that the band was going to explore "electronic sounds for the next record".[52]
The band's influences includeFaith No More,Social Distortion,Metallica,Red Hot Chili Peppers,Wu-Tang Clan,Fugees,Refused,Queen, andLed Zeppelin.[137][138][139][140] Jacoby Shaddix cites Faith No More'sMike Patton and Social Distortion'sMike Ness as significant influences, stating, "The way that I sing, I definitely was inspired by Mike Patton, but I appreciate the storytelling that Mike Ness does. I kind of fused those two influences together at an early age, and it inspired me to become my own thing."[137]
Initially, Papa Roach's most significant influence was the experimental bandMr. Bungle, fronted by Mike Patton of Faith No More. This influence is evident in the adventurous nature of their 1994 debut release,Potatoes for Christmas.[141]
In a 2021 interview,Jacoby Shaddix reflected on the band's longstanding association with thenu metal genre, stating, "I love being one of the forefathers of nu metal, that's dope, but we've been able to outlive it and celebrate it at the same time."[142]
Papa Roach is regarded as one of the bands that helped define the nu metal sound.Alternative Press stated: "Despite distancing themselves from their distinctive sound in recent years, Papa Roach's early output shaped the aspect of nü metal that the mainstream embraced with open arms—riff-laden, radio-friendly (at least, after a few bleeps) singles with dark, earworm lyrics designed to upset parents. Jacoby Shaddix's in-your-face tones introduced many teenagers to their nü-metal awakening, supported by completely singable and seductive guitar lines that made this outfit so instrumental in the genre. So much so that a feature from Shaddix serves as a seal of approval for any album."[143]
Regarding the band's album "Infest,"Kerrang! magazine remarked: "Straining vocal cords and detonating dancefloors with 'Last Resort,' tugging the heartstrings with 'Broken Home,' and embedding themselves under our skin with 'Between Angels And Insects,' Jacoby Shaddix's Californian group didn't just deliver an overload of angst—they unleashed every ounce of emotion through arguably the catchiest songwriting nu metal would ever see. Adolescence never truly ends, and even now, these are absolutely essential sounds."[144]
