Papa Roach at The Stage AE

Papa Roach is synonymous to a hybrid of metal rock and rap. They made this an indelible signature sound that has kept fans rocking since 1993.

Schoolboys Jacoby Shaddix and Dave Buckner found themselves in a football field discussing the potential success they were going to achieve if they formed a band. Soon afterward, Will James and Jerry Horton joined in and started the building blocks of what is now considered as the tower of power of rock and rap metal — Papa Roach. In 1994, Papa Roach released their oddly-titled debut EP, "Potatoes for Christmas", in between juggling school work, jobs. and local gigs. Their growing set of followers slowly but surely positioned them as one of the fast-rising bands of that decade. It also gave them a major label signing where they released their official debut album "Infest". It gave them a strong and steady stream of successes as it spawned the hits "Last Resort," "Infest," and "Broken Home." They started basking in mainstream success as more chart-topping hits and sold-out shows rolled-in. They embarked on tours that brought them together with other rock and rap heavyweights like Ludacris, Eminem, and Limp Bizkit; and they conquered bigger stages and festivals like the Ozzfest.
