SC\SSRS

SC\SSRS is the seventh studio album by American alternative metal band Taproot, released through THC Music and Amplified Distribution on September 29, 2023. It is the band's first studio album in eleven years, since 2012's The Episodes.

Produced and recorded entirely by frontman Stephen Richards, the album was originally planned to be released under the Taproot name, before Richards decided to pursue it as a solo effort. Bandmate Phil Lipscomb convinced Richards to put it out as a Taproot album, and the band decided to reunite. They embarked on a tour in support of the record, recruiting new guitarist Taylor Roberts. The tour also marks the return of original drummer, Jarrod Montague, who last played with Taproot in 2008 (besides occasional guest appearances). According to Richards, most of the album's songs were written in 2013.
