Papa Roach share music video for ‘American Dreams’ and announced rescheduled tour dates

By James Davenport

Papa Roach have revealed their new music video for their single ‘American Dreams’. It’s the second single to be taken from their ninth studio album ‘Crooked Teeth’ which was released earlier in the year.

“America is struggling, America is divided, America is hurting right now,” explains Papa Roach frontman Jacoby Shaddix. “We’re at a fever pitch of confusion, smoke and mirrors, blatant lies. The American Dream is on the chopping block.”

“Have you ever thought that war was a sickness?” asks Shaddix, the lifelong pacifist in the lyrics for the track. “My father is a Vietnam veteran. Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and the disintegration of the American family are things I’ve dealt with personally. I know other people relate.”
