INFO:

Papa Roach is an American rock band formed in 1993 in Vacaville, California. Known for blending alternative rock, nu-metal, and post-grunge, they gained widespread popularity in the early 2000s. The band’s breakthrough came with their third studio album, Infest (2000), which included the hit single "Last Resort," a song that became an anthem for many fans with its raw lyrics about emotional struggles and self-doubt. The band’s lineup has remained relatively stable over the years, with Jacoby Shaddix (vocals), Jerry Horton (guitar), Tobin Esperance (bass), and Tony Palermo (drums). Their sound evolved from the nu-metal style of their early albums to incorporate elements of hard rock, alternative metal, and post-hardcore in later works. Other notable albums include Lovehatetragedy (2002), The Paramour Sessions (2006), Metamorphosis (2009), and The Connection (2012). F.E.A.R. (2015) and Who Do You Trust? (2019) marked a shift toward more polished rock and anthemic choruses, continuing to explore themes of resilience, self-discovery, and personal turmoil. Papa Roach is also known for their high-energy live performances and their lasting impact on the rock scene, especially within the early 2000s "nu-metal" movement. Though they have diversified their style over time, the band remains a consistent presence in the rock genre with a loyal fanbase. Despite facing some lineup changes and shifting musical trends, Papa Roach has remained a mainstay in the rock world, with several Grammy nominations and international success. Their enduring relevance is attributed to their ability to evolve while staying true to the raw energy and emotional intensity that first brought them to prominence.
