"The Roach are sensational for every second they are onstage. P Roach came, saw and kicked everyone's ass." - Metal Hammer (Regarding Sonisphere 2010)
"Third up, without doubt the highlight of the evening - Papa Roach. Jacoby Shaddix asserts himself as one of the best live frontmen in rock today. They state a truly strong case for being able to headline arenas by themselves. Papa Roach are a tough act to follow..." - The Daily Dust (UK)
"As with every festival, some bands are received better than others -- and one of the biggest, rowdiest crowds of the day came for Papa Roach." - AOL's "Noisecreep" (Regarding Rock on the Range 2010)
"A Papa Roach show is a guaranteed ass-kicking. The California quartet always pummels crowds, no matter when and where they play. Get ready to be annihilated like never before." - ARTISTdirect.com

"Roach's sound and take-no-prisoners approach proves to be a hard act to follow, and the fireball energy of front man Jacoby Shaddix makes him absolutely mesmerizing to watch." - Lithium Magazine
"The band is electric on stage. Whether you like their music or not, you have to respect their ardour. The band have become simply unstoppable." - AltSounds.com

"Prepare to be extremely surprised. The band performs flawlessly live. Shaddix's vocal performance proves he does in fact have an incredible, enduring voice." - The Observer

Jacoby and the boys can teach other touring national rocks a lesson on how to treat their fans and give them their money's worth." - Gary Spivack/Right Arm (Producer of Rock On The Range, Epicenter and more)
"Papa Roach kicks ass! They are true rock stars that care so deeply about their fans and the fan experience. Whether they are headliners or openers for our events, they have longevity, they have the fans, they are the genuine rock & roll deal. I certainly wouldn't want to be the band that has to play after them!!" - David Fitzgerald - President/DCF Concerts
