On February 4, 1997, the Machofal Album "Old Friends from Young Years" came out. He was recorded in the following composition: Jackobi Shaddix on vocal, Jerry Horton on the tricks and guitar, Tobin Esperance on Bass and Dave Backer on the drums.

And a year later, the collection "Let 'Em Know" came out, which became the latest independent release of the group. The success of the plate attracted the attention of the Warner Music Group, which provided a small amount of money for the production of a demonstration CD with the 5th tracks. Papa Roach, still inexperienced, but arrogant musicians, insisted that an influential person in rock music Jay Bumgardner will be produced. Later in an interview, he said:
"I was not sure about success, but then I saw a video from Papa Roach's speech in the club. These children went crazy, knew the songs by heart that were rare for modern performers. I realized that they definitely have potential. "The resulting demo recording did not like Warner Bros., but I had to taste DreamWorks Records. Immediately after concluding the contract, Papa Roach went to the studio to record the album "INFEST" (2000). It included already well-known songs from independent releases: "Infest", "Last Resort", "Broken Home", "Dead Cell" and others, only 11 compositions.

The year 2010 began with the news for the fast release "Time for Annihilation", which included 9 "living" tracks and 5 new songs. However, a collection of the best hits "... to Be Loved: The Best of Papa Roach" came out. The group asked fans not to acquire a disc, since the Geffen Records label released it against the will of musicians.
Two years later, the light saw the 7th Album Papa Roach "The Connection", the main song of which is considered "Still Swingin".
