It looks like Papa Roach will release new music this summer. Jacoby Shaddix was a guest on an episode of Rock This With Allison Hagendorf, and a fan asked when the band would be releasing new music. Shaddix responded, “Summertime feels like the time to drop in some new music. And we're just gonna drop music, like, a track, then wait about six weeks, eight weeks, drop another track, wait six weeks, drop another track, and just through the end of the year, just keep dropping music to lead up to a release of an album.”
He continued, “And this thing is just a banger of a record. Lyrically, it comes from the gut. It's, like, I just get so brutally honest in this music that there's some stuff, I'm, like, 'God, do I really wanna put this in a song?' But I have to. It's, like, there's healing in it. I have to remind myself — there's healing in this. And the funny thing is every time we feel a little uncomfortable about something, it means we're on to something. That's what we found out about ourselves. It's 'cause we're stretching ourselves outside the box.”
Shaddix also revealed that the album will feature the band's first ever ballad. He explained, “And it's not like a corny love song kind of ballad. It's a really unique take. It's like a little-bit-of-sawdust-on-the-floor kind of ballad. And it hits so hard with emotion.”
He added, “It's an exciting time to be in P-ROACH, I will say that.”
