Papa Roach

Musical Group

Papa Roach is an American rock band formed in Vacaville, California, in 1993. They broke through with the nu-metal album Infest (2000) and are noted for high-energy live shows and an evolving sound that moved from rap-metal roots toward a broader alternative/rock palette.

Formed in Vacaville, California in 1993. Breakthrough album Infest released in 2000. Line-up referenced in reviews includes Jacoby Shaddix (vocals), Jerry Horton (guitar), Tobin Esperance (bass); drummer Dave Buckner is mentioned in early reviews and Tony Palermo is noted as a later member. The band left Geffen Records and released Time for Annihilation on Eleven Seven Music.

DeBaser reviews present Papa Roach as a Vacaville-born rock group that broke through with the nu-metal album Infest (2000). Reviewers emphasize strong live performances and an evolution away from rap-metal toward a broader rock/alternative sound. Key recurring praise goes to energetic shows, fan favourites like Last Resort, and long-running appeal.

For:Fans of nu-metal/alternative rock, concert-goers, and newcomers curious about early-2000s rock evolution.

 I have never particularly followed the nu-metal scene, also due to my near-zero appreciation for rap and hip hop.

 The band seems energized, Shaddix appears possessed, and despite the structure not being entirely suitable for favorable sound distribution, everything goes more than well.

 It was the best concert I have ever attended so far, even though I admit I am ridiculously biased.
