Papa Roach aren’t about to let touring get in the way of making a new album. So for this summer’s Ozzfest, the Northern California quartet has outfitted a spare bus with enough recording equipment to lay down rough tracks. “It’s a great opportunity to write music, because you’re in a pretty stimulating environment,” says frontman Coby Dick. “There is pressure to write a good second record, but we’re not trying to rush it.” Dick describes the songs written so far as “definitely bangin’ and groovin’,” and he says they explore serious themes without rehashing past hits such as “Last Resort”… Read more »

Marking their second single of the year and their first new material in three years, Rise Against returns with their latest offering, “Prizefighter.” Tim McIlrath shares, “‘Prizefighter’ is about a compulsion to create, that then creates an audience, and then your connection with that audience and your responsibilities to that audience, and how much an artist is obliged to that audience. It’s trying to reconcile the shift from spectator to the public arena, and what you owe the people that are your fans versus what you owe your own mental health.” Rise Against is currently on the road for The… Read more »

Vocalist Tim McIlrath reminds us, “‘Nod’ is about the solace we find in community. It’s about the comfort in knowing that we… Read more »
