Papa Roach share their ‘Come Around‘ music video, from their tenth studio album, Who Do You Trust?, shot in New York from their Who Do You Trust? U.S. tour, their largest headlining tour to date.
The video features footage from their August 11 performance in New York, NY, featuring longtime fan Mark Moreno, who has followed the band since 2000. It begins with Jacoby saying, ‘This music gives me a connection to something bigger than myself. This music connects me with people. This music gives me purpose.”’
Director Bryson Roatch visually tells the story of both the band and Mark, in their journey to do what they love most, sharing emotional moments on the way. One particularly touching moment is Mark visiting the gravesite of his sister, Elizabeth Santana Mercado, whom he lost to colon cancer in 2016. “She was my control switch. She could change my mood real quickly,” he explains. The video’s caption notes that thanks to music and a good support system (Mark is shown with family and friends), you can overcome anything. At Mark’s 57th Papa Roach concert, Jacoby presented him with a gift — a platinum Papa Roach plaque in honor of Elizabeth – and thanked him for his support by giving him two golden Papa Roach ‘Por Vida’ (“For Life”) passes, good for tickets to any Papa Roach show, anywhere in the world, for free, for life.
Who Do You Trust? marks a paradigm career shift for the 26 year band. Singles ‘Who Do You Trust?‘ and ‘Elevate‘ have steadily remained in the Top 10 at Active Rock Radio, marking 14 Top 5 hits, and six #1 hit singles in their career.
The band recently wrapped their Who Do You Trust? summer tour through 25 major markets, featuring all-new production and a stellar career-spanning set list, and now connect with Shinedown and Asking Alexandra that started om Roanoke, VA, on September 17 and runs until October 19 in Boise, ID. They will play at Slipknot’s Knotfest on November 30 in Mexico. For tickets and more information, visit www.paparoach.com.
We managed to catch up with Papa Roach’s lead guitarist Jerry Horton as he talked about latest single Come Around, current tour and more!
So how has the release of Come Around gone down so far?
It’s been really great! Our video has added so much dimension to the whole experience of the song, too. It feels good give back to fans, especially fans who have been supportive of us for this long.
How much does the single mean to you, is Mental Awareness something that hits home close to you all?
I think it’s important to talk about mental health as opposed to just shunning people and ignoring the problem, or just throwing medication at it.
What was your favourite moment on the Who Do You Trust? summer tour?
We had some great shows, but my favorite part was the camaraderie between bands. We had some great times, and I wished it wasnt over.
So how pumped are you for the Shinedown and Asking Alexandra tour starting this month, is there any particular venue you’re particular looking forward to?
We’ve been on this tour for a few days now and so far, Quebec City has been the best crowd by far. Such great energy!
The band is also playing Knotfest in Mexico in November, how did this come about?
They approached us about it, and it’s been a while since we have been to Mexico. We always have great shows there, and we can’t wait for that crowd!!!
Do you still like playing the likes of Last Resort at gigs or would you rather just let fans enjoy what you have on offer now
I still love playing Last Resort because of the reaction it gets. Doesn’t matter where we are, what kind of audience we’re playing to, it puts a smile on people’s faces, and they start singng along
If you could work with any band on a new song, who would it be and why?
A dream list of people would be BMTH, Beartooth, NIN, K Flay, DJ Shadow.
What do you all get up to in your spare time when not working on music?
Mostly doing things with the family, but I also like doing woodworking.
