Jacoby Shaddix, frontman of Papa Roach, dropped a bombshell of an announcement: new music is coming in 2026. While it will be shorter than most releases, the frontman promised a quick, action-packed release. Speaking with Claro Música México, Jacoby said,
The next PAPA ROACH LP will contain "probably 11 songs, 10 or 11... "I like an album to feel like you get in the car and you play that thing and it's, like, by the time you get where you're going, it's, like, 'We're done. I like an album that feels like it's just quick and to the point. You know what I mean? We're not that type of band that makes these 20-song albums or double LPs and shit like that. I'm, like, 'Eh.'"
The full interview is available on YouTube:
This material might coincide with their Rise of the Roach tour featuring melodic hardcore band Rise Against and post-hardcore band Underoath.
We're doing a U.S. tour right after I leave. We go down Guadalajara, go rip down there, and then we'll go back up to the states and start a tour. We're taking out Rise Against and Underoath in America. And then I'm going back in the studio this summer to finish up the album and then go back on tour, finish up a tour in America, and then next year we'll be coming — Europe, Latin America, Australia, maybe Japan, but Southeast Asia; I'm hoping for Southeast Asia. But, yeah, it's a world tour, man. I mean, I'm always on a world tour, dude. I never stop."
