The advance was bad quality. Everyone
who heard it knows. This is the retail,

The Northern Californian alt-metal
group Papa Roach consists of Jacoby
Shaddix, Jerry Horton, Dave Buckner, and
Tobin Esperance. They formed in 1993 and
released a few EPs soon after,
including 1994's Potatoes for Christmas
and 1995's Caca Bonita. By 1996, the group
hired a new manager; the following year,
Papa Roach released their first
full-length album, Old Friends From
Young Years, which became a surprise
hit on local radio. The band's regional
success led to more prominent gigs,
including dates with Suicidal
Tendencies, Sevendust, and Powerman
5000, and a deal with Dreamworks
Records. Released on Dreamworks in 2000,
Papa Roach's second album, Infest went
triple-platinum thanks to the success
of the single "Last Resort." Two years
later, frontman Coby Dick opted to go
by his given name of Jacoby Shaddix. A
second album, lovehatetragedy, appeared
in June 2002. That same summer the band
joined a number of rap acts including
Ludacris and Xzibit on Eminem's Anger
Management Tour. Working on a musical
evolution, Papa Roach released their new
album, Getting Away With Murder in
2004. The band began writing new
material while on the road in 2003.
They recorded over 30 songs, and with
the help of producer Howard Benson
(P.O.D., Blindside, Hoobastank), they
chose 12 to put out. The album is still
as loud and abrasive as the prior ones,
but demonstrates what the band has
previously downplayed melody and
vulnerability. Their lyrics reflect
that they want people to think about
the world around them, question it and
make actions towards change. Shaddix
says, "We just put up our middle finger
to critics and said, 'We're gonna do
what we're gonna do.' We stand up for
ourselves as a band, and our message to
our fans is to shut yourself off from
anyone who wants to run the show, and
run it yourself."
