Papa Roach has debuted a new single called "Wake Up Calling," a song that's about "standing on the edge of disaster, being pulled back from the brink, and ultimately choosing love over self destruction," according to the band. It's a classic Papa Roach song with heavy guitars and cutting vocals. How Papa Roach Influenced Nu-MetalPapa Roach hit right when nu-metal needed a band that could take all that pent-up anger and turn it into something people could actually hold onto. When "Infest" came out in 2000, the genre was already loud and confrontational, but Papa Roach made it feel personal instead of performative. What made Papa Roach matter was their sense of structure.
