Taproot is an nu-metal/alternative metal/rap-metal/alternative pop-rock/[post-grunge] band from Ann Arbor, Michigan consisting of Stephen Richards on vocals/guitar, Mike DeWolf on guitar, Philip [Lipscomb] on bass, and Jarrod Montangue on drums. they formed in late 1997 and have released 3 indie albums (Something More Than Nothing, Mentobe EP, and Upon Us) before signing to a major label. their earlier releases have a hard-edged nu-metal/rap-metal sound similar to bands like Limp Bizkit.
in 1998, the band sent a demo to Limp Bizkit frontman Fred [Durst]. impressed with their material, he offered to get them a recording contract through Interscope Records. however, after extended negotiations, Taproot looked elsewhere, where they finally landed a lucrative record deal with [Atlantic Records]. feeling betrayed, Durst heavily cursed the band on vocalist Stephen Richards answering machine (the message can be found on multiple p2p programs like LimeWire). he also put some blame on System of a Down, who assisted Taproot in securing the Atlantic deal. in retaliation, Durst kicked System of a Down off the 1999 Family Values Tour, replacing them with Staind.
during the summer of 2000, Taproot released their major-label debut titled Gift. with the success of their lead single Again
