Taproot is a four-piece nu metal band from Ann Arbor, Michigan. They are most known for their hit single "Poem" ( most played rock track in 2002), as well as a number of other singles from 2000 to the present. In 1997, Taproot sent their demo to Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst. Impressed with their material, he offered to get them a recording contract through Interscope Records.
It's not uncommon to read an interview with a band that's about to drop a new album and come across swaggering declarations of writing ludicrous numbers of songs in preparation. Those sort of words are probably meant to inspire confidence in the final product - if so many tracks were brewed and the finished record only features the very cream of the crop, it's got to be amazing, right" However, working bands are often just not granted the comfort of waiting for inspiration to strike. You punch the card and go fish for acceptable material.
Taproot‘s extensive collection of rarities and b-sides Besides has officially been unveiled and is expected out later this year. The set compiles 130 tracks across eight hours of music on 8 CDs from the band’s personal vaults with artwork done by Andrew David Jones
