Papa Roach announce ninth album ‘Crooked Teeth’ and unleash ‘Help’ lyric video
It includes two interesting collaborations
Papa Roach have confirmed their ninth studio album ‘Crooked Teeth’ will be released on Friday 19th May via Eleven Seven Music.
Fans have already had a tantalising taste of the record thanks to the blistering title track, unleashed last November, and the recently unveiled song ‘Help’ - and both tracks are available as a free download to fans who pre-order the album on iTunes from today.
The follow-up to January 2015’s ‘F.E.A.R.’, ‘Crooked Teeth’ contains a total of 10 tracks in the standard format including collaborations with pop singer Skylar Grey (‘Periscope’) and rapper Machine Gun Kelly (‘Sunset Trailer Park’).
A deluxe version is also available with three bonus tracks and a second disc recorded live at Fillmore Detroit.
Written and recorded in a tiny North Hollywood studio, ‘Crooked Teeth’ was produced by first timers Nicholas “RAS” Furlong and Colin Brittain, with the exception of “Born for Greatness,” which saw the band collaborate with writer/producer Jason Evigan (Jason Derulo, Demi Lovato, Zedd, Maroon 5).
“The first time we met up with RAS and Colin, they said that (2000’s) Infest was on constant rotation when they were growing up and they wanted to bring back some of that fire,” says singer Jacoby Shaddix.
RAS added: “The whole idea was to take the classic elements of Papa Roach that everyone loved and revamp them into a modern version of the sound through the creative process, and we ended up with a bold, courageous and more adventurous version of Papa Roach.”
The record will see the band delve into a variety of genres including rap and reggae but still stay true to the Papa Roach sound.
“The people who have wanted to hear me rap for years are gonna love some of the viciousness on this record,” says Shaddix.
“This collection of songs was really about bookending everything that we’ve done prior to this album and reintroducing Papa Roach to people who didn't realize the depth that we have,” explains drummer Tony Palermo.
