All of our band members and crew have been vaccinated prior to us starting tour. Yesterday, and again this morning, Leigh Kakaty tested positive for COVID-19. Leigh wanted to make sure his test wasn’t a false positive before postponing any more shows. With his second positive test this afternoon, out of an abundance of caution, we will be postponing our shows and be back for our show in Virginia Beach on August 27. We are doing our best to move the following shows: Denver, CO (8/15), Des Moines, IA (8/17), Fargo, ND (8/18), Joliet, IL (8/20), Nashville, TN (8/21), Savannah, GA (8/23), Asheville, NC (8/24) and Jacksonville, NC (8/25) to the end of the tour. Leigh is already feeling much better and will be back on his feet in no time. We want to thank everyone for their continued support! See you soon.” POP EVIL recently shared a lyric video for the latest single, “Survivor,” from their sixth full-length album VERSATILE, released earlier this year via Entertainment One (eONE), which is currently approaching a Top 10 position on Billboard’s Mainstream rock radio charts. Watch it streaming here: https://youtu.be/-B_MjXZ6wI4.  “Survivor” follows previous album singles including their sixth overall #1 trackBreathe Again,Top 10 single Work,” and hard-hitting numbers “Set Me Free” and “Let The Chaos Reign.” Modern Drummer described the track by stating, “Opening with clean guitar chords and a relaxed but driving drum pocket, ‘Survivor’ immediately strikes a more personal tone, giving the listener time to ease into the song, before suddenly being dropped into a head-banging riff accompanied by furious screams, only to be released back into the clean and easy-going feel for the remainder of the song.”
