Papa Roach have never taken the easy way out and they aren't going to start now. Over the past two decades the group have established themselves as true trendsetters in heavy music: They've been nominated for two Grammys, toured the globe with everyone from Eminem to Marilyn Manson and crafted the nü metal anthem “Last Resort,” which is still in heavy rotation on rock radio seventeen years after its release. However the group's tenth full-length Crooked Teeth sees the band returning to their humble—and hungry—roots. The album was recorded in a cramped West Hollywood studio with up-and-coming producers Nicholas “RAS” Furlong and Colin Brittian, who grew up listening to Papa Roach and inspired them to revisit some of the traits that personally endeared the band to them, most notably frontman Jacoby Shaddix's remarkable rapping technique.
