Papa Roach's 'Forever' Video to Debut on AOL Music

Papa Roach's 'Forever' Video to Debut on AOL Music

30+ Date Tour With Hinder This Summer!

Updated Paramour Sessions CD To Be Released June 19th

SANTA MONICA, Calif., June 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Little did Papa Roach fan Ramon Boutviseth (from Huntersville, NC) know that when he entered the "Make Your Own 'Forever' Video" contest on YouTube for fun, that he would end up as an official co-director.

Even though a video for "Forever" was already completed, when the band saw Boutviseth's version, they liked his storyline so much that they handed control over to the fan to mix the original performance footage with his own editing and storyline.

Boutviseth's submission is now part of the highly anticipated official video for Papa Roach's smash hit "Forever" which will debut on AOL Music (http://music.aol.com/) beginning on June 15th and will run the clip as a "First View" thru Sunday June 17th. The track is the band's highest charting single since "Scars" reached #2 on the Billboard Modern Rock chart in 2004.

The band's latest album, The Paramour Sessions will be re-released on June 19th with a brand new cover, a free "Forever" ringtone, a fold out poster, as well as Papa Roach mobile phone wallpaper. The band has just begun a month long European tour and will return to the road here in the U.S. on July 1st in El Paso at the Downtown Street Festival. Beginning on July 13th they will join up with Hinder for a 30+ date tour running through the summer. (Dates for the tour are still being added)

"This tour with Hinder is going to be a kick ass show of great rock bands bringing it every single night," commented Jacoby. "We can't wait to get this in gear."

Jacoby is also enjoying success from becoming the host of the hit MTV series 'Scarred' which began its run on MTV in April. Everyone has seen them ... the user generated clips watched by countless people on the Web, or passed around rampant between friends. But no one knows who the people are in the videos, or the stories behind them -- until now, with MTV's "Scarred." Every scar has a story, and for the first time the people behind some of the Web's most popular videos get to share their stories firsthand.

Since the release of their major label debut album back in 2000, Papa Roach have released three albums: Infest, lovehatetragedy, and Getting Away with Murder selling over 10 million copies of those titles combined. The band has now scored nine consecutive hit singles on the charts and now seven Top 10's including "Broken Home," "She Loves Me Not," "Last Resort," "Getting Away with Murder," "Scars," " ... To Be Loved" and now "Forever." Papa Roach's latest album The Paramour Sessions is the band's fourth consecutive album to debut Top 20 on the Billboard Top 200 Album chart.

With the high debuts of all four of their albums, Papa Roach are firmly establishing themselves as one of the undeniable success stories of the last decade.
