POP EVIL — which consists of singer Leigh Kakaty alongside lead guitarist Nick Fuelling, rhythm guitarist Dave Grahs, bassist Matt DiRito and drummer Hayley Cramer — has built a new rock ‘n’ roll institution on its foundation of showmanship, raw relatability, and hard rock hooks, both forward-thinking and timeless.

POP EVIL‘s songwriting on “Versatile” zeros in on their juxtaposition of cinematic melody and heavy, unflinching groove. Deftly mixing fist-pumping anthems and timeless power ballads, POP EVIL delivers their most ambitious rebirth yet with a jaw-dropping and unpredictable album. “Versatile” sounds exactly like the name suggests. It distills the soaring melodies and driving riffs of POP EVIL‘s past and introduces an ambitious exploration of the future.

“Versatile” features the No. 1 mainstream rock hit single “Breathe Again” — the band’s sixth No. 1 single to date — alongside heavyweight tracks “Set Me Free”“Let The Chaos Reign” and Top 10 single “Work”.

Beyond the success story told by the charts — the one million units of “total activity” across POP EVIL‘s catalog, and the over 600 million streams of the band’s songs on major platforms — POP EVIL‘s greatest strength is the diverse group of people captivated by the band’s relatable storytelling and undeniable catchiness. These are fans earned, city by city, on tours with a modern rock playlist’s worth of genre titans.
