STUDIO VIDEO AVAILABLE NOW

SUMMER/FALL TOUR DATES ANNOUNCED

Toronto, ON – August 3, 2017 – American rock band, Pop Evil, have been hard at work in the studio this summer working on an all new LP due out early next year. The band have brought on veteran producer, Kato Khandwala, and have been hard at work since early June. The band spent most of the summer in Nashville, TN at Studio A in Sound Emporium Studios and will finish up the album in Los Angeles, CA in the coming weeks. 

“The band is in such a great creative groove right now!” says frontman, Leigh Kakaty. “After taking much-needed time off, we started the writing process in Michigan this past April and May, before heading to the Sound Emporium in Nashville.  We have recorded close to 20 songs for the album and are now narrowing down our choices before heading to L.A. to finish the record. Our producer Kato has been a blessing and a pleasure to work with, and he’s the best devil’s advocate we’ve had in the studio!”

The band have released a short studio video which premiered via SiriusXM Octane earlier this week. Watch the video here. 

The yet to be titled LP will be the highly anticipated follow up to UP, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard US Independent Albums, #3 on the Billboard Top Hard Rock Albums and #25 on the Billboard Top 200 in the week of its release. UP produced four top 5 singles with Footsteps, If Only For Now, Ways to Get High and Take It All. Footsteps not only reached number one but went on to be the longest #1 single of the band's career.

Kakaty continues, “It’s been the smoothest recording process to date, and we’ve been taking our time and giving each song its due diligence. One thing I can say is you will get a little bit of everything from us on this album. We’re letting all our emotions out on this one. No boundaries. New Pop Evil music is on the horizon!”

The band hasn't let up on its road dog reputation, virtually staying on the road for the past two years since their last LP. Pop Evil will continue that trend and be on the road all summer starting with two sold out shows at The Machine Shop in Flint, MI. Other highlights include supporting BUSH at the Blue Stream Amphitheater in Moorhead, MN, STURGIS 2017 with Ozzy Osbourne, Moonstock Music Festival with Papa Roach, and RIFF Fest with Rob Zombie.
