Papa Roach

Papa Roach is a Nu Metal band from northern California, formed in 1993 and consisting of frontman Coby Dick (who since 2002 goes again by his given name Jacoby Shaddix, and afterwards, using the name Johnny Vodka), together with Jerry Horton, Dave Buckner, and Tobin Esperance. The name "Papa Roach" comes from the cockroach and as Papa Roach says: "When a bomb explodes, what's going to survive? Cockroaches." The name comes from an uncle of Coby's nicknamed "Papa" whose surname was Roatch. They had mostly regional success until their breakthrough with the hit single "Last Resort" from their first major label album, Infest.
