POP EVIL - Best thing out of Michigan since Automobile?
By AM5. July 2011 01:19Pop Evil is the self proclaimed Best Thing to Come Out of Michigan Since The Automobile, and Kid Rock.
After much buzz and airplay on US radio, a featured song in this year�s National Hockey Playoffs, the band releases their album �War of Angels� on July 5.
We caught up with the band for an interview and have the album on sale for $8.99 for you to check out. Download it here
LoudTrax.com  Congrats on an awesome new album.  Tell us about the new album vs. the first album.
Pop Evil This album is much heavier than our last effort.  We moved to Chicago with Johnny K our producer for five months and non stop worked on crafting these new songs.  We are excited to finally be able to share our new music with our fans. 
LoudTrax.com  I saw one of your songs on an NHL (National Hockey League) promo clip.  How did that come about?  Are you guys hockey fans?
Pop Evil We definitely are hockey fans.  I know management pitched our single to the network and they felt it fit the Playoffs perfectly.  It has been huge for the band and our single "Last Man Standing" is quickly becoming a sort of sports anthem.  

LoudTrax.com  On that note, your songs definitely contain a kind of driving force behind them that fit in with high intensity sports.   There are many songs out there that fans listen to before a football / hockey game to pump them up, etc�  Is that something you guys think of when writing or comes naturally.

Pop Evil No we definitely think about it but it wasn't the purpose for writing them.  Alot of those sports related songs were based on frustration with our old label and the music business in general.  That drive against adversity is just so relatable for most athletes.  
LoudTrax.com  I hear a few different influences in your music (Tool, etc�), while still maintaining your own sound. What are some bands that influence not necessarily your sound, but your overall outlook on being in a band and the lifestyle.
Pop Evil There are alot of bands that influence us in their own creative way.  We are very influenced by 80's Rock n Roll.  Motley Cr�e and Poison to name a couple.  We r a very dynamic live band.  We love entertaining and the bands that bring it on stage.  There is nothing worse than being bored at a ROCK show.  We focus on our live show so fans will enjoy coming out to see us again and again!
LoudTrax.com  Tell us about the artwork for the new album, it�s awesome!
Pop Evil Thank you.  The album art represents the struggle we have gone through trying to deal with our demons while making this album.

Shout out to Bill Meis and Steve Seabury at eOne Metal for hooking up this interview.
