Papa Roach is an American rock band from Vacaville, California, formed in 1993. After a few early shifts, the band initially stabilized with the lineup of lead vocalist Jacoby Shaddix, drummer Dave Buckner, guitarist Jerry Horton, and bassist Tobin Esperance. This lineup remained consistent for nearly a decade.

Papa Roach released a few demo EPs and their full-length debut album, Old Friends from Young Years (1997), before signing with DreamWorks Records in 1999, subsequently releasing the triple-platinum album Infest in 2000. Infest contained the band's breakthrough hit, "Last Resort", which peaked at No. 1 on the Alternative Songs chart and was certified 6× platinum by the RIAA. Papa Roach followed up with the gold album Lovehatetragedy in 2002 and the platinum album Getting Away with Murder in 2004. Getting Away with Murder's second single, "Scars", became the band's most successful mainstream hit as it peaked at No. 15 on the Hot 100 chart. Following the release of The Paramour Sessions in 2006, Buckner left the band in 2007 and was succeeded by Tony Palermo. Papa Roach then released Metamorphosis (2009), the live album Time for Annihilation (2010), The Connection (2012), F.E.A.R. (2015), Crooked Teeth (2017), and Who Do You Trust? (2019). The group's eleventh studio album, Ego Trip, was released in 2022.
