During a recent interview with Meltdown of Detroit’s WRIF, Papa Roach guitarist Jerry Horton discussed the band’s plans for new music. According to him, the group are planning to release a new single before their upcoming tour.
Horton said the following:
“We’re gonna have a new song before the [upcoming] tour. I can’t exactly say when, but it’ll be before the tour. And it’s a banger.”
He continued when asked if the band are planning to focus on singles or a full album:
“It’s gonna be both, actually. We’ll probably do song by song in a lead-up to putting out a record, but we’re not gonna put the whole record out at once… Because we’re our own label, basically, we don’t have anybody telling us what to do. And I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing, but we’re just gonna try it this way and see how it works. But, yeah, we’ll do singles kind of like how things normally go and then kind of figure it out from there.”
He went on to say that he likes full-lengths:
“I like albums. But that’s kind of old school, I guess, of me. I have a record collection and I still have CDs in the car and I do streaming stuff as well, but I still like to listen to a whole record.
There’s good to both ways of doing it. I think that because everybody’s listening kind of in a mix environment, like a playlist type of environment, I think it’s okay for us to explore different styles and sounds and kind of make it feel like a mix of things, but that then takes a little more work to make everything feel cohesive.”
He also added the following when asked about special guests:
“Not on this first [single], but we have talked about having a guest or two on a couple of the other ones… We’ve got some things in the works.”
