PAPA ROACH To Release 'Crooked Teeth' Album In May; Cover Artwork, Track Listing Unveiled

California rockers PAPA ROACH will release their new album, “Crooked Teeth”, on May 19 via Eleven Seven Music. The disc will include ten songs on the standard release and thirteen on the deluxe version (which also comes with sixteen live tracks).

PAPA ROACH frontman Jacoby Shaddix revealed in an interview with Albany, New York radio station Q103 that “Crooked Teeth” will feature guest appearances by rapper Machine Gun Kelly and American singer and songwriter Skylar Grey. The follow-up to 2015’s “F.E.A.R.” was recorded with Nicholas “Ras” Furlong and Colin “Doc” Brittain at Steakhouse studio in North Hollywood, California.

PAPA ROACH has already released two songs from the upcoming disc, “Crooked Teeth” and “Help”.

Shaddix described the new disc as “very dynamic,” adding, “It ranges from heavy and in your face with songs like ‘Crooked Teeth’ and then it also is kind of a bit more of a pop sensibility in it… It’s all over the place.”

Shaddix also revealed that the band has done some early work on its next album, saying: “We went back in the studio and started creating some music again for a new, new record. We have such a good creative flow that we’re, like, ‘You know what, man?’ Let’s just jump in the studio.'”

Asked how the collaborations with Machine Gun Kelly and Skylar Grey came about, Shaddix told the Q103 radio station in Albany, New York: “When we drop this record, we knew that PAPA ROACH, we are a staple in rock music. I feel that we’ve earned that over the course of our career. And when we first came into the game… I’ve always been a big fan of hip-hop. I fell out of love with it for a few years, but then there’s some new artists that I really am a big fan of, Machine Gun Kelly in particular. We collaborated at the [Alternative Press Music Awards], and that was awesome. And then I had this track called ‘Sunrise Trailer Park’, and I needed a guest spot, and I played him ‘Crooked Teeth’, and he was just, like, ‘Dude, P-ROACH is back! This is so sick!’ So I was, like, ‘Hey, I’ve got this track I would love for you to be on.’ And so it was very organic. And then we’ve got this other track called ‘Periscope’. We wanted to have a guest female vocal on it, and on the last album, we had Maria Brink from IN THIS MOMENT on ‘Gravity’. I didn’t wanna just go in and grab another rock chick. I wanted to work with somebody that was outside the box and different but that I was a fan of. So I’ve been listening to this girl Skylar Grey for [a few] years now. And she’s been on some great tracks — she’s been on some Dre stuff, some Eminem stuff, she’s been on a FORT MINOR track. But she’s kind of this indie, alternative, pop type of girl, and she’s just got a lot of credibility in that scene, and she’s got a great voice, and I’m a big fan. And so I thought, why not try some collaborations and some guest spots that were outside the box, not the norm? ‘Cause I feel… I’m a big fan of bands like QUEEN, LED ZEPPELIN, FAITH NO MORE — bands that always evolved and tried new things and took their fans on a journey. Because when you go and listen back to LED ZEPPELIN records through their career, they did all kinds of differnet stuff — they were folk, heavy metal, rhythm and blues, straight-up rock and roll, and they melded all those things together. QUEEN, they always took their fans on a ride, and so that’s what we wanna do. We feel, as creators and artists, that’s our responsibility — to challenge our fans and to also challenge ourselves, without going too far and being too self-indulgent.”

PAPA ROACH is set to play at several major rock festivals in late April and May, including Fort Rock and Welcome To Rockville in Florida, Carolina Rebellion in North Carolina and Northern Invasion in Wisconsin.
