(Los Angeles, CA) – Papa Roach’s Time For Annihilation…On the Record and On the Road (track listing below), which was released on August 31st via new independent label Eleven Seven Music, debuted as the #1 Independent Rock, #23 Top 200, #4 Hard Rock and #5 Alternative Album on Billboard’s charts. The New York Post proclaims “Papa’s On Fire” and hails Time For Annihilation…On The Record and On The Road as one of the “most appealing concept albums of the year.” The bands current single, “Kick in the Teeth” has remained in the Top 10 at the Active Rock format for 4-weeks straight. The album is a unique hybrid listening experience, which showcases live renditions of past hits as well as five new studio tracks produced by David Bendeth (Paramore, Breaking Benjamin, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus). The same day the album was released, all five new studio tracks were in iTunes Top 25 for downloads/sales in the rock genre.
In celebration of their new album release last Tuesday, Papa Roach took the time during a 3-day press whirlwind in Los Angeles, CA to help prepare and feed lunch at the Los Angeles Mission food bank. This continues the band’s long-term commitment to WhyHunger by raising funds and awareness for the 49 million Americans and more than 1 billion people worldwide who are hungry. The band included a hidden track on the record, a first in philanthropy, to encourage fans to text to donate as they do live in concert. On their upcoming tour dates, the band will be auctioning off VIP experiences with all proceeds going to WhyHunger.
Jacoby Shaddix said, “We wanted to use the press we were doing around the album to help raise awareness for the cause, we made a commitment to WhyHunger and are just as passionate about it as we are the music. We want to make sure we walk the walk and not just talk the talk, hopefully it inspires people to do the same.”
The hard-hitting Sacramento natives have again cracked the Top 10 with their new single “Kick In The Teeth”, which is currently holding down the #7 slot on the active rock chart and Top 20 on the alternative chart with no sign of slowing down. In a review of the single, Billboard wrote, “Kick In The Teeth” may be its (Papa Roach’s) most rousing anthem yet.” With over 8 million records sold, Papa Roach has produced multi-format hits on every album they have released over the past ten years, proving their longevity and relevance throughout. With Time for Annihilation…On The Record and On The Road, Papa Roach bring together what they do best by delivering a highly energetic entertainment package for fans old and new alike.
