In my opinion Papa Roach are one of the biggest,
best and most hard working rock bands around today,
the band have been together since 1993, it took
them until 2000 to become big and have massive album
sales across the world with their biggest selling
album ‘Infest’ going triple platinum
in the USA alone, after this moment Papa Roach went
on a downward spiral as the nu-metal scene faded
away but that didn’t stop them from releasing
new music, and 9 years later and 4 albums on Papa
Roach are stronger than they ever have been, their
fan base is majorly on the rise, their live shows
are as tight and explosive as they ever have been
and their new music simply rocks.
If you have checked out the new Papa Roach album
‘Metamorphosis’ then you will know
just how good Papa Roach sound these days, the
first single released of the album was ‘Hollywood
Whore’ the song was a massive rock and roll
song that sounded nothing like the bands very
early material but pleased their long term fans
and helped bring them in a whole new fan base.
The band are now ready to release the second
song from the album on the 22nd June and this
time around they are releasing ‘Lifeline’,
the song is going to be a major hit as it is already
a big fan favourite, when I saw them play in Birmingham
back in April the fans sang along word for word
whilst moshing like mad, when they played it at
Download Festival last weekend the response was
amazing, the song starts off with a big wobbly
sounding riff which helps the song progress into
a massive rock and roll sing-a-long chorus, the
song is very different from what Papa Roach have
done before, it is more a foot stomping stadium
rock track which will have people throwing their
arms in the air whilst learning the lyrics in
the matter of seconds.
Papa Roach deserve respect for carrying on whilst
so many people went off them, they have shown
the haters that they still know how to rock, in
fact they have always known how to rock it’s
just the big money making mainstream magazines
thought their face didn’t fit for far too
many years which meant it was harder for people
to hear about them as they weren’t being
shoved in their face every other week but they
have now been welcomed back into the pages of
these magazines, isn’t the music world a
kind place with the way certain publications can
make and break you.
I feel all bands should be inspired by Papa Roach
as they have done it all through thick and thin
and now look, feel, play and sound better than
anyone could ever imagine.
5/5
