Pop Evil

American rock band, Pop Evil, are currently wrapping up their new third studio album but have already begun to share new music. Released on February 28th , "Trenches" is their new single. Produced by Johnny K, this new forthcoming album is entitled Onyx and it is due out on May 14th. "Trenches" is a hard-driven track filled with powerful drumming, some chugging guitar riffs and frontman Leigh Kakaty's in-your-face belting about coming out of the trenches and being ready for a fight.

The vocalist says about the song, "It's about our battles. Not focusing on the things we can't control, if we really want to be a band that stands the test of time we have to write the music that connects. We have to dig our way out of the trenches."

Pop Evil was formed in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 2001 by Leigh Kakaty. He then added Dave Grahs, Dylan Allison, Jamie Nummer. Later, guitarist Tony Greve was added as a temporary studio musician for the band but was invited to become a full-time member in early 2007. Around that time, bassist Jamie Nummer left the band for personal reasons and was replaced by Matt DiRito, formerly of Archangel and Before the Fire. In 2011 Allison had major neck surgery and Chachi Riot filled in. In 2012 Riot became a mainstay as Pop Evil's drummer. In 2012 due to personal reasons, Greve quit the band on his own accord and Nick Fuelling stepped up to fill his shoes. Onyx follows 2011's War of Angels album, which featured the singles "Last Man Standing", "Save the World", "Monster You Made" and "Boss's Daughter".
