Just hours before their sold out show in Detroit, Tobin Esperance from Papa Roach took some time to chat with us.

Howie D from Hard Edge Radio and National Rock Review recently got to catch up with bass player Tobin Esperance from Papa Roach. They talked about the loyalty they have with fans of the band, the threats from Sharon Osbourne to be kicked off the 2001 Ozzfest tour, working with Kevin and Kane Churcko, upcoming festival dates for this summer and more.
