Getting to Know Papa Roach

April 27, 2016

Papa Roach formed back in 1993, but they continue to make top 10 music. They really started becoming a big name in the rock game in the early 2000s when they released albums like “Infest,” “Getting Away with Murder,” “Lovehatetragedy,” “The Paramour Sessions,” and “Metamorphosis.” These five albums were all released from 2000 to 2009. In total, they have released nine albums and sold over 20 millions records worldwide.

The original band members, Jacoby Shaddix, Jerry Horton, Will James, and Dave Buckner, all met in high school, which means they’ve know each other for quite some time. Will and Dave have since left the band, and Tobin Esperance and Tony Palermo have replaced them quite well if you ask us.

Just in January the band announced that that a new album will be coming out soon. We aren’t exactly sure how soon, but are hoping for it to be this year. They’ve been working hard in the studios since early February.
