JAKARTA - Jacoby Shaddix, vocalist Papa Roach talks about how he builds a relationship with his bandmates Jerry jurisprudence (guitar), Tobin Esperance (bass), and Tony Palermo (bass).

Shaddix said the relationship that had been built by personnel since adolescence had become like a family that was difficult to separate.

"I have to tell you, this is brotherhood. This is a family. We have been doing this since we were teenagers, since we were children, and this bond we built together is something I honestly don't know what to break this bond is," said Jacoby Shaddix during a recent interview with Rock Antenne Germany.

The 47-year-old vocalist said Papa Roach's journey so far was proof of the commitment of the personnel to the band.

"I am committed. This band is proof. My marriage to my wife, Kelly is proof. I have been with my band as long as I am with my wife. It is something that has always been in my life, and I am very grateful for it," said Shaddix.

"Not many people can do what we do, so I approach it with gratitude, and even when I'm tired," he continued.

Furthermore, the vocalist also talked about Papa Roach's plan to tour and release new works in the near future.

"Currently, at the beginning of the year, we have done a lot of new music. So basically we are withdrawing that success. The year 2025 will be a big year for Papa Roach. This is the 25th anniversary of our first album 'Infest'," said Jacoby Shaddix.

We have books, we have tours, we have all of them. And we have a new collection of music that we will release. So, new music may come, for example in the third or fourth quarter of this year," he continued.

"It was good to get a little bit of calm before the storm, so I took this year and created a lot of music, writing for Papa Roach, writing with other artists and really being as creative as possible."
