Pop Evil
Michigan hard rock outfit fronted by Leigh Kakaty, two decades deep in riff-first radio anthems and relentless touring.
Pop Evil formed in Michigan in 2001 around vocalist Leigh Kakaty, and has been a fixture of American rock radio since the late 2000s. The sound sits between post-grunge and alternative metal: down-tuned riffs, big sung choruses and a production style built for arenas and radio playlists.
The band has released a steady run of albums and placed multiple singles on US rock charts, sustaining a career largely through constant touring rather than mainstream crossover.
