Alice in Chains, Papa Roach, Volbeat, Halestorm + More Invade Kansas City’s Rockfest 2013
The love metalers do it again as HIM and their fans get another Cage Match win with ‘Tears on Tape’ as the band beat out Three Days Grace in the previous battle. Now, HIM go for their fifth and final victory and entrance into the Loudwire Cage Match Hall of Fame, but will they be able to do it once more against a very tough competitor?
On April 25, 2000, music audiences were introduced to 'Infest,' the breakout second album from Vacaville, Calif., rockers Papa Roach, thus spearheading what would be a very successful career. By the time the disc arrived in stores, fans were already catching on to the passion and the power that would follow as 'Last Resort' was laying the groundwork as the disc's lead single. As we reflect on the band's breakthrough effort, we ask you to tell us which Papa Roach 'Infest' song is your favorite.
Papa Roach's Jacoby Shaddix has seen his fair share of hard times, but out of the darkness, he's still maintained a sense of optimism and that shines through particularly strong within the band's latest single, 'Leader of the Broken Hearts.' That light in the dark is exactly what's at the heart of the band's new video for the track.
Who: Papa Roach with Escape the Fate + Otherwise
Yet another massive festival has just been announced to take place in the good ol' U.S.A. On May 11, a total of 15 bands, including Alice in Chains, Killswitch Engage, Papa Roach, Device and more, will descend upon Kansas City, Mo., for the city's annual Rockfest.
Papa Roach are fresh off a tour with Stone Sour, and now they're ready to take the headlining spot all for themselves with 'The Connection' tour. The trek will also feature Escape the Fate and Otherwise burning up stages across the United States.
Papa Roach have proven that they are ‘Still Swingin’ with their latest album ‘The Connection’ and their recent co-headlining tour with Stone Sour.
Papa Roach's Jacoby Shaddix is not one afraid to bare his soul in the name of a good song, and 'Forever' speaks right to the heart of trying to move past a relationship but the feelings never quite going away. It's clear from the lyrical content that the deepness of the emotional connection have never quite left even though the person in question has since moved on.
