Modern rock powerhouse POP EVIL recently returned with the utterly scorching new single "What Remains". It serves as the dawn of a new era for POP EVIL, which the band promises will be its most sonically heavy. The song was No. 1 Most Added with 55 stations and just debuted at 33 on the active rock radio charts, and is climbing.
Today, the band announces its Fall 2024 tour plans. The band will embark on "The Animal Instinct Tour", which is a co-headline run with BAD WOLVES. SIERRA PILOT and ONI will serve as support. The trek kicks off October 30 in Jacksonville, North Carolina and runs through November 30 in Lexington, Kentucky.
Additional POP EVIL shows are also on deck. All tour dates are below.
"We are stoked to announce 'The Animal Instinct Tour' with our friends in BAD WOLVES," says POP EVIL singer Leigh Kakaty. "This tour will be full of high energy and radio hits from start to finish. We can't wait to see you all out there!"
"It's difficult to express how excited I am to get back on the road again with the boys," says BAD WOLVES guitarist Doc Coyle. "Co-headlining with a powerhouse like POP EVIL will be a real treat for fans of both bands and will keep us on our toes to bring our A-game every night. It's a true honor to share the stage with them, SIERRA PILOT, and ONI. BAD WOLVES will be performing an eclectic set including songs from Die About It that we haven't played yet, and I'm sure some surprises. The band is firing on all cylinders right now, and this will be a hell of a way to close out 2024. LFG, Wolfpack!!!"
About the new single, Kakaty stated, "Over the years, I've been faced with torment; departures, failures, and uphill climbs. It takes a reckoning to strip us to our core and confront our true selves. What endures beyond these trials is who you are, your essence. That is what remains. On our upcoming album, we have dared ourselves to make the most lyrically raw and sonically heavy album of our career. "What Remains" sets the tone of what is to come."
Kakaty also confirmed the new lineup, saying, "We are also proud to officially announce the newest member of the POP EVIL lineup - Blake Allison." Allison is replacing departed member Hayley Cramer on drums, joining Kakaty and fellow bandmates, guitarists Dave Grahs and Nick Fuelling, and bassist Joey "Chicago" Walser.
