Papa Roach Fight Hunger & Homelessness Through Hidden Track

On August 31st, the new album from Papa Roach “Time For Annihilation…On the Record and On The Road’ drops and the band has included a hidden track that will encourage fans to support the end of hunger and homelessness through organizations like WhyHunger (who have been fighting against hunger and poverty since 1975).  The message personally recorded by frontman Jacoby Shaddix, encourages fans to do their part to fight hunger and homelessness. On the track, Shaddix asks fans to take out their phones and text a number for WhyHunger in order to donate $5 to the organization.

The cause hits close to home for P-Roach frontman Jacoby Shaddix who was homeless during his childhood. Shaddix will also be recording a PSA for WhyHunger to help raise awareness for their free National Hunger Hotline (1-866-3-HUNGRY).  For more information on WhyHunger, please visit www.whyhunger.org. “It’s really important to us to continue our partnership with WhyHunger and offer support in any way we can.  It’s all about finding new ways to spread the word and raise awareness and this is the first time we’ve ever done something like this on an album.  If one person listens to it and does something to help, we’ve done our job,” says frontman Jacoby Shaddix.

Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach

On March 24th, Papa Roach will release their latest album “Metamorphosis”. With singles Hollywood Whore and Lifeline already gaining momentum this album was a battle cry for the band (Jacoby Shaddix on vocals, Tobin Esperance on bass, Jerry Horton on guitar, and Tony Palermo on drums) who call it their rock record of the decade.
The band returned to the Paramour Mansion in LA to write the album (their fifth studio release for anyone counting) and tuned out all outside influences to focus solely on the writing process – no tv, no outside world, just the band, a record player and their computers.  What followed was a writing process that pushed them to their limits both creatively and emotionally and the final result is an album that the band embraces from start to finish as their best yet.
Jacoby Shaddix, quite possibly the most energetic man alive, took some time to talk to us about the album, the line up changes, and what the new tunes mean to him.
