Read the interview with frontman Stephen Richards.

Get excited music fans, because April is going to be one hell of a month for new rock and metal music releases. Upcoming April 2012 albums will come from bands such as Halestorm, Dragonforce, Municipal Waste, Torche and more.

Michigan rock band Taproot have been grinding it out for a decade and a half. The band broke on to the scene in the late 90′s with a string of independent releases, which eventually landed them a deal with Atlantic Records. Their debut album ‘Gift’ dropped in 2000 and the band has since released several successful singles such as ‘Poem’ and ‘Calling.’

97 Rock gets inundated with new music each week and like our motto says we grab a 6-pack and take a good guess on what we should play. Well we're not giving up the 6-pack, but we're looking for a little help. Here's your chance to let us know what you guys wanna hear on 97 Rock.

Nearly 2 years to the day, Taproot are ready to release their 8th studio album this April titled 'The Episodes'.
