California-based rock band Papa Roach announce release of their ninth-studio album, Crooked Teeth. The new record will bring elements of music from different genres and parts of the world, and rhythms from people associated more with rap or reggae, while still staying true to Papa Roach’s sound.

Written and recorded in a cramped North Hollywood studio, Crooked Teeth was produced by first timers Nicholas “Ras” Furlong and Colin Brittain, who grew up listening to Papa Roach, inspired the band to revisit some of the traits that personally endeared the band to them, most notably Shaddix’s remarkable rapping technique and the bands intense live energy.

“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.” says Furlong.

Singer Jacoby Shaddix comments: “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.”

From the instantly infectious nature of the title track to the atmospheric sheen of the moody ballad Periscope (featuring Skylar Grey) and the acoustic / hip-hop rock mashup of Sunrise Trailer Park (featuring Machine Gun Kelly adding a verse to Shaddix’ rap), Crooked Teeth displays the various sides of Papa Roach and illustrates why they’ve managed to remain relevant while other musical trends ebb and flow.

The new album, Crooked Teeth, will be out on the May 19th via Eleven Seven Music. The album will be available digitally and physically, as a standard and deluxe editions.
