Pop Evil Announces ‘Skeletons’ Album And March/April 2023 Tour

You can expect the new 11 track Pop Evil album, ‘Skeletons’, to be released on March 17, ’23! The band has already released the #5 ‘Most Played Song In 2022’ single “Eye Of The Storm” and their new single “Paranoid (Crash & Burn)”. There are guest appearances on the new album; Fit For A King’s Ryan Kirby on “Dead Reckoning” and Devour The Day’s Blake Allison gives guest vocals on “Wrong Direction”!

Pop Evil singer Leigh Kakaty said, “This is about us as a band stripping everything down to the bones. It’s more uptempo, it’s got bigger riffs, and we’re trying to capture the energy of our live show. But it’s also a positive message. I know it’s a morbid visual, but behind every skeleton, there’s a story and something worth talking about. Overall, it’s about looking at something in a positive way. And I’m excited for everyone to hear that.”

Katkaty continued, It’s about the voices in our head — we all have ’em, but do we act on them? It’s a cautionary tale, about processing those voices in a positive way.”

With “Skeletons”, the band once again worked with producer Drew Fulk (Disturbed/Papa Roach/Motionless In White).
