“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 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”.
Today the band reveals the official video for the new LP’s second single, “American Dreams” which went Top-10 at Active Rock this week, holding steady at #8. Shot in Shaddix’s rural Northern California hometown of Sacramento, the video was Produced and Directed by Bryson Roatch, and features a cast of real life Americans fighting to create their own version of the elusive American Dream and addresses many of the issues preventing them from attaining that dream.
