papa roach

Papa Roach have always had a close bond with their fanbase, so when the Make-A-Wish Foundation came knocking asking the band to participate in making one special fan’s dream come true, they were more than willing to be a part of the experience.

Congratulations to Papa Roach frontman and Loudwire columnist Jacoby Shaddix, as he and his wife Kelly have just welcomed their third child, Brixton Gabriel Shaddix, into the world.

Shinedown headlined the inaugural Carnival of Madness trek back in 2010, but stepped aside as Theory of a Deadman and Evanescence did the honors the past two years. This year, Shinedown return to front the traveling festival they helped launch, and they've got a strong lineup hitting the road with them.

Papa Roach are digging deeper into 'The Connection' album, with 'Silence Is the Enemy' now the fifth song to surface from the release. The band just released a new lyric video for the powerful track that can be seen above.

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.

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.

Earlier this year, Papa Roach had to drop off of the Uproar Festival due to frontman Jacoby Shaddix's vocal issues. That pretty much shot down any chance of a Papa Roach tour in 2012. But thanks to 'Youtube Presents', you'll still have a chance to see Papa Roach live via the internet.

Today marks a day of reflection for many as we remember the tragic 9/11 attacks in New York, Washington, D.C. and Shanksville, Pa. Amidst terrorism, there were also great acts of heroism with many sacrificing their lives to protect others.

Over the weekend, Papa Roach took Nigel Dupree to become our new Cockfight Champion. Tonight, right off the bat, they faceoff against metal legends DOWN! Phil and the boys are here to show they still can kick ass. The question is do they have what it takes...well, that's up to you to decide. Get your votes in after the jump.

If memory serves me right, before I left for vaction Nigel Dupree took over as our new Champion. So, tonight we get things rolling again when Nigel defends his title against Papa Roach. Who wins? Well that is all up to you...get your votes in after the jump...

All has been quiet in the Papa Roach camp since they entered the studio back in November start working on their new disc but singer Jacoby Shaddix recently emerged for a special performance.

Over the weekend, Motley Crue were joined by none other than Papa Roach vocalist Jacoby Shaddix on their famous cover of  ‘Smokin’ in the Boys Room’ at the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas.
