Papa Roach's video for new single "Kick in the Teeth" premiered a few days ago, just in case you missed it you can check it out right HERE! (external YouTube link). As you might already know, "Kick in the Teeth" will be featured on the new live record named "Time for Annihilation" which will hit the stores on August 31st and will be their first release on new label Eleven Seven Music.
Geffen/Interscope earlier announced that they would be releasing a greatest hits compilation named "The Best Of Papa Roach: To Be Loved". It was released on June 29th and features the bands biggest hits along with a few acoustic tracks and unreleased track "Just Go (Never Look Back). However the band themselves were completely against this compilation since it was a "desperate attempt to try and cash in on Papa Roach's music after we have left the label" like the band stated themselves. Papa Roach are encouraging fans not to buy this release and instead wait and buy their new cd "Time for Annihilation". For the full band statement, click here.
The band is currently preparing to hit Europe for a month long tour later this month, starting July 16th in Germany. This tour will include both festival shows and a few headlining shows with support from Ill Nino and Life of Agony. Full list of shows can be seen below.

Jerry posted a few first information about the new album:
We are here in our studio in Sacramento, writing new songs for the next release. It will be a live album, which we recorded on the last run with Shinedown, plus 5 new songs. I'm really stoked about this new stuff. I know band guys say their new stuff is different or ground-breaking, so I'm not going to say that. What I will say is that we are doing our best to make everything interesting, with tasty musical parts, and Jacoby is coming from an honest place in his lyrics. It WILL be different, but obviously Papa Roach. Thanks to you guys for all your support over the years, and we know you will like the new stuff!!
"It will be different" ... we'll hear soon in which way.
We have been getting a lot of emails in regard to a falsely advertised show at Club Octane in Morgantown, WV on January 30th. Please note that this was scam and was never agreed upon by Papa Roach or anyone in our camp. The person/people who pulled this scam are immoral and inconsiderate with no sense of human decency. We apologize for the inconvenience and would like to thank all of the fans who emailed us with the heads up. Considering that every email we got was looking out for the bands best interest, it further confirms that we have the best fans in the history of Rock n Roll, hands down... In the future, please check www.paparoach.com for all accurate touring info.
Hope you are all well, we have some big news in the next couple weeks. Viva La Cucaracha bitches!!!
- The Guys
With that said there are 3 new dates in July 2010 confirmed. 2 smaller festivals in Germany and Sonisphere in the UK.
"Hey, guys, I found this video on youtube that someone made. It is really interesting, and thought-provoking. Check it out, and send it to your friends. Even the people you know that don't like us. It is pretty hard not to be affected by this.

THE POWER OF PAPA ROACH AND THE FORCE OF JET TO BE SUPPORTED BY MORNINGWOOD, KILL HANNAH AND ARANDA (See Specific Dates For Line-Up)
Rock bands Papa Roach and JET will usher in Winter 2009 with a co-headlining tour of the U.S. The affordable and eclectic rock show with a festival feel starts off in late October through the end of November and offers four bands for less than forty dollars. Fans will be treated to no less than fourteen hits in one night, which will include radio smashes like Papa Roach’s “Last Resort,” “Forever,” “Scars,” “Lifeline” (which remained at #1 on the Mainstream Rock chart for 9 weeks) and JET’s “Are You Gonna Be My Girl,” “Cold Hard Bitch,” “Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is” and their latest, “She’s A Genius.” Tickets to the first two announced dates go on sale Friday (September 25) for the show in St. Paul, MN at the Roy Wilkins Auditorium on November 5, and Saturday (September 26) for the show in Denver, CO at the Ogden Theatre on October 26. Tickets can be purchased through the bands’ websites at http://www.paparoach.com/ and http://JETtheband.com/.
Known for their electrifying live shows, Papa Roach have been touring nonstop behind their new album and fifth studio recording, Metamorphosis, which debuted at #8 on the Billboard Album Chart earlier this year. Fresh from the road alongside fellow powerhouse Nickelback, frontman Jacoby Shaddix says, "Playing shows every night is what we're built for. We make a club feel like an arena and we make an arena feel like a club.” Indeed Hit Parader raves, “Papa Roach’s live energy is like a pack of wild horses – unbridled and uncontainable.”
Just returning from traveling twice around the world to set up their new album, Shaka Rock, JET are primed for their first major U.S. tour to promote the record. The new album closes the gap between the raw roots of Get Born and the grace and melody of Shine On which together went on to make JET an international band of style and substance. After four million albums sold worldwide and four Top Ten Modern Rock and Rock hits, the authentic Aussie rockers have returned to form with an album that parallels their smash, Get Born.
“We have been going non-stop to bring this album to our fans and we just want to keep going. It’s just so good to be out on the road playing our new music. The band expects to ‘tour our asses off’ for at least the next 18 months,” said JET’s drummer Chris Cester.
