Papa Roach will host an “In Conversation” session about its 2000 album Infest to commemorate the LP's 20th anniversary. The event will take place this Saturday (April 25th), on the exact date of the record's release.
The band hasn’t yet revealed what exactly this online chat will entail, but have teased it with a 17-second video soundtracked by the opening riff to one of the LP's singles, “Between Angels And Insects.”
Infest was Papa Roach's second full-length record and first major label release. The disc peaked at Number Five on the Billboard 200 chart and has been certified triple platinum for sales of more than three million copies in the U.S. It featured the massive hit “Last Resort.”
Papa Roach bassist Tobin Esperance told us a while back that many people thought of the group for a long time as a one-hit wonder: “A lot of people, they just know us from the 'Last Resort' song, you know, and they think that's it, you know. I hear all the time people saying, 'You know what? I heard that one song, I thought it was a good song. I was just sick of f**king hearing it.' And then they come see us live, and they see how raw and just straight up we are, and the energy's there and the intensity's there and we just don't give a f**k, and we just bring it, you know?”
This past February, singer Jacoby Shaddix hinted at recording, documentary and live plans to mark the LP's two-decade milestone, although the pandemic has put much of that on hold for now.
