Release Date 16th May 2025 Independent Shops Exclusive Red Vinyl LP A band who not only defined the Nu-Metal scene of the 00s but are now leading the charge in the 2020s' Nu-Metal resurgence, Papa Roach are a band who have not only stood the test of time but have found a way to adeptly turn back time to the days where they first found their glory. Their ninth studio album 'Crooked Teeth' was a flag in the soil of this immortality, marking an exploration between their Nu-Metal roots and the new era of Modern Rock. The album was produced by and co-written with Colin Brittain [Linkin Park, 5 Seconds Of Summer] and Nicholas Furlong [All Time Low, Sabrina Carpenter], and saw collaborations with Machine Gun Kelly and Skylar Grey (who became acclaimed for her work with Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda in 2006), underlining this mash-up of generation-spanning inspirations for the album. 'Crooked Teeth' holds a special place in the heart of fans, with fans given the opportunity to support the creation of the album in an astonishing crowdfunding bid that offered unique prizes, such as the opportunity of buying the band's studio (and all of the equipment in it). In a career first for Papa Roach, the album saw two singles, “Help” and “Born For Greatness”, reach #1 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart, whilst 'Crooked Teeth' itself debuted at #20 on both the Billboard 200 chart and UK Top 40 Album chart. It's since been certified Silver in the UK, with sales fast approaching Gold certification. Pressed on vinyl for the first time since its release in 2017, and for the first time ever in territories outside of the US, 'Crooked Teeth (Deluxe)' will be released via Earache Records on 2 May 2025 on vinyl and CD. This deluxe edition features 3 bonus tracks (“Ricochet”, “Nothing” and “Bleeding Through”), and the 2-disc CD edition will also include a 16-track commemoration of their show at The Fillmore Detroit from their Face Everything And Rise 2015 tour. The set features a blazing encore rendition of their smash hit “Last Resort”, a track that's a member of the 1 Billion Streams club and which recently saw viral revival via a collab with TikTok star Jeris Johnson. The news of the reissue comes just as Papa Roach are due to embark upon their Rise Of The Roach tour, which marks the 25th anniversary of their multi-platinum album 'Infest' and includes a run of arena shows across UK and Europe.
