Papa Roach will ceaselessly be cemented in our and popular culture’s hearts (or, papa tradition…? Nah, that doesn’t actually work as a joke so let’s simply transfer on). They’ve been steadily churning out music for the reason that 90s, with their final album being 2022’s Ego Journey, they usually aren’t performed but. Why would they be? We want them (and all the things else good and palatable) as a lot as attainable now. The band’s frontman Jacoby Shaddix was just lately speaking about new music and based on him, the band plans on hopefully releasing a brand new album by early 2026.
Shaddix talked to Audacy Examine In about “Even If It Kills Me,” Papa Roach’s newest single, which was launched on January 22. After speaking up what makes the brand new observe particular—upon listening to the demo, he advised bassist Tobin Esperance “Dude, I don’t even should assume twice on this one. It’s go time on this observe.”—he went in on what the following album is perhaps like (transcribed by Blabbermouth.internet):
“So we’ve been within the studio all through 2024 engaged on a bunch of music, and now we have songs in plenty of completely different states. There’s songs which might be fully completed. We’ve different songs which might be like verses and choruses, and we’ve gotta write perhaps a bridge or get again there and sort of retweak ’em and work ’em. And they also’re in all these completely different states. There’s one other couple of songs which might be simply acoustic guitar and vocal, and it’s, like, ‘All proper, this one’s gonna be a banger. We’ve simply gotta go in there and, like, bandify the track.’ And so now we have a ton of fabric demoed out. And so all through this yr, we’re simply gonna hold leaping again into the studio and ending up these items. Administration’s going, ‘Let’s attempt to hit it later this yr.’ And I’m, like, ‘I wanna launch music all through the entire yr.’ And it’s going to steer as much as an album finally. Whether or not it’s the top of 2025 or early 2026, there can be a brand new PAPA ROACH album.
“The music we’re making proper now may be very impressed and it’s bought us all pumped up. If you return within the studio, you simply don’t know what’s gonna come. And after we wrote ‘Even If It Kills Me’, I’m simply, like, ‘Oh. It’s on. Let’s go.’”
Can’t wait Jacoby, can’t wait!
