The lead single, “No Surrender” sets the tone and feeling, sure to unite blue collar workers; melding their frustration into the perfect rock anthem. From their very first groundbreaking album Gift in 2000 to their new release The Episodes, TAPROOT continues to develop smarter and deeper styles of melodic rock. The innovative writing style can be credited to the unique personalities in the band; vocalist Stephen Richards, guitarist Michael DeWolf, bassist Phil Lipscomb and drummer Nick Fredell. Rooted with the philosophy of LED ZEPPELIN, the discomposure of ALICE IN CHAINS, the sermons of TOOL, the band hopes to imprint their footprint in the novel of rock ‘n roll history. The band jumped with independent label leaders, VICTORY RECORDS in 2009, for their fifth album, Plead the Fifth, which was deemed by Rolling Stone “The next contenders for the new-metal crown,” and “ones to watch” by VanityFair. TAPROOT has sold over 900,000 albums, toured with DISTURBED, INCUBUS, MUDVAYNE, CHEVELLE, 30 SECONDS TO MARS, and more. TAPROOT has been featured in major media consisting of ROLLING STONE, REVOLVER, ROCK SOUND, AMP, KERRANG! and many more national and international outlets.
