Papa Roach have released a new video for their track American Dreams.
It’s the latest single to be taken from their most recent album Crooked Teeth, which launched back in May via Eleven Seven Music.
The track addresses the current state of US politics and frontman Jacoby Shaddix says: “America is struggling, America is divided, America is hurting right now.
“We’re at a fever pitch of confusion, smoke and mirrors, blatant lies. The American Dream is on the chopping block.”
One of the lines in American Dreams is: “Have you ever thought that war was a sickness?” Shaddix adds: “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.”
Shaddix recently had surgery on his vocal cords which lead to the cancellation of three of the band’s August shows in the US. Their shows in Europe scheduled throughout September and October will go ahead as planned.
