Papa Roach, originating from Vacaville, California, emerged onto the rock scene in 1993. Initially featuring lead vocalist Jacoby Shaddix, guitarist Jerry Horton, drummer Dave Buckner, bassist Will James, and trombonist Ben Luther, the band soon evolved with Tobin Esperance replacing James. They began independently, releasing EPs before signing with DreamWorks Records in 1999. Their breakthrough came with the triple-platinum album Infest (2000), followed by the gold-certified Lovehatetragedy (2002) and platinum-certified Getting Away with Murder (2004). Following lineup changes, including Tony Palermo replacing Buckner in 2007, Papa Roach continued their journey with albums like Metamorphosis (2009), Time for Annihilation (2010), The Connection (2012), F.E.A.R. (2015), Crooked Teeth (2017), and Who Do You Trust? (2019). Their latest, Ego Trip, hit shelves on April 8, 2022, marking their eleventh studio release.
