This is an Enhanced audio CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer file.

While Taproot could be hastily labeled a rapcore band, there's a great deal more here than a series of grooving, detuned riffs. Vocalist Stephen Richards is sure to catch the attention of Faith No More fans with his schizophrenic vocal approach, especially on tracks such as "Mentobe" and "Believed."

Love/hate contradictions and self-loathing are the focus of "I Am" and "Mirror's Reflection," while "Dragged Down" laments over a friend who has become an emotional vampire. The Mike Patton comparisons are unavoidable on tracks such as "Emotional Times" and the particularly mosh-worthy "1 Nite Stand." The high-strung, positive energy of "Smile" and the heartfelt "Now" show the many dimensions and diversity of a band whose finger is firmly on the pulse of modern heavy music.

Recorded at Master Control Recording, Burbank, California.

Taproot: Stephen Richards (vocals); Mike DeWolf (guitar); Philip Lipscomb (bass); Jarrod Montague (drums).

This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.Rolling Stone (8/17/00, p.110) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...A short, sharp shock...of pure heartland heavy-rock rage....becoming one monstrous, challenging opus of spiky sonics, with one song blendingn into the next one - but in a good way..."
Alternative Press (11/00, p.137) - 3 out of 5 - "...Undeniably infectious..."
CMJ (7/10/00, p.24) - "...A head-turning, mosh-approved debut...sounding like Faith No More engorged with programming or Incubus spiked with more guitar grit..."

4 stars awesome
When you go to shows there are usually street-teamers passing out demos and shwag. I was fortunate enough to get a hold of Taproot's demo and it gave me chills. I would define their music as cool; it really is cool music. The way they carry themselves really comes through in their music. As they gave Fred Durst the notorious "F-U" phone message, they quickly rose to the top of bands I had to hear, and they delivered. Totally rad music. I can listen to "Gift" in any mood and relate to all of their songs. Great live show, no frills. "Again & Again" resonates well with me and always sends chills down my spine.
