Here's a bit of information about one of my favorite bands and I'm here to bring you the music of Papa Roach. So, while playing chess why don't you listen to some Papa Roach!!! (Note: I do not own the rights to any of these songs and I am thankful for the people that put these songs on youtube so that everyone can listen to this wonderful band.)

Papa Roach

Papa Roach were one of the influential rap-rock bands of the early 21st century, but when that musical style lost its popularity, the group made the transition to a streamlined hard rock sound. Incorporating metal into their melodic rock, Papa Roach struggled to match the commercial peak of their breakthrough record, 2000’s Infest, but they were able to consistently place singles onto the mainstream and modern rock charts throughout the ‘00s. 

Papa Roach's Origins

Papa Roach formed in 1993 in Vacaville, a small community in Northern California. The band went through a few lineup shuffles early on, but soon the group consisted of singer Jacoby Shaddix (who initially went by the stage name Coby Dick), guitarist Jerry Horton, bassist Tobin Esperance and drummer Dave Buckner. For the rest of the ‘90s, Papa Roach toured and recorded EPs to spur interest in the group. Eventually, Papa Roach signed with Dreamworks for the release of their official debut, which would turn out to be the band’s biggest hit.
