PAPA ROACH Name New Album

September 12, 2003

PAPA ROACH have set "Dancing in the Ashes" as the title for their forthcoming effort, tentatively due in March 2004 through Dreamworks Records.

The group say that they are not letting the fact that their last CD, "Lovehatetragedy" sold less than 20 percent of the copies of their previous album, "Infest", affect their enthusiasm for the new material.

"Some bands get jaded and lose it, but we're just excited about making music," singer Jacoby Shaddix told MTV.com. "It's kind of cool because we don't have a record that's really anticipated, which is cool for us, 'cause the pressure's off."

Regarding the direction of the new songs, Shaddix said, ""We're trying to take how 'Infest' had the big anthems and 'Lovehatetragedy' had more of the rock and roll style and try to fuse it. It has all the elements of stuff we listen to, it's just a new way to craft it. It's like you make a taco and then you make a burrito — it has the same things in it, it's just put together in a different way. So we're just excited. We feel like it's the best music we've ever written."

PAPA ROACH are scheduled to enter a Los Angeles studio later this month with Howard Benson, who has produced albums for P.O.D. and COLD, among others.

"He makes good-sounding records and we feel like we can learn something from him," Shaddix said. "Hopefully someday we can produce our own records — that would be the goal."
