Papa Roach Still Swingin Video Unveiled

VEVO premiered the video for Papa Roach ‘STILL SWINGIN‘ (http://vevo.ly/Nft8QL) today, the first single off of their upcoming album The Connection (October 2, Eleven Seven Music). The track is currently number seven at Active Rock and has charted at Alternative radio formats merely weeks after impacting. The track is equal parts classic Papa Roach with big hooks and an anthemic chorus, coupled with modern electronic elements; a song that at one time captures the hard rock band’s signature sound while exhibiting their contemporary edge.As announced last week, multi-platinum rockers Papa Roach were forced to cancel the remainder of their scheduled dates on the Rockstar Energy Drink UPROAR Festival.  Lead singer Jacoby Shaddixhas been diagnosed with a nodule on his left vocal chord. At the advice of his physician, he underwent corrective surgery to remove the nodule and prevent further damage.

“It’s no secret that I’ve been having issues with my voice lately. I was hoping to be able to go out there and kill it on this tour by resting and doing vocal exercises, but my voice has just gone out on me. I hate to let our fans down, but unfortunately surgery is the only way to fix it,” Shaddix said. “The last thing we want to do is give our fans less than 100% every night. We know they’ll understand and we’ll be back better than ever.”

“It was amazing having Papa Roach on the road with us for the first few UPROAR shows. We’re disappointed that they can’t continue for the rest of the tour, but Jacoby’s health is the priority and we wish him a speedy recovery,” says Rockstar Energy Drink UPROAR Festival co-producer John Oakes.

The band apologized for any inconvenience, but assures fans that Shaddix is expected to make a complete recovery. Touring plans for this fall are not expected to be affected.
