Out of the released, they earned them selves a management deal with G&G Entertainment. The band released their debut album on the independent label, Pazzo Music, through Universal Music Group. The album, entitled “Lipstick on the Mirror” on August 12th 2008, which features the songs “100 in a 55” and “Somebody Like You”, which were both hits on radio stations.

As their name suggests, American band Pop Evil plays a twisted combination of alternative metal, post-grunge and hard rock with elements of pop. Earth shaking drum grooves along with rock-solid bass lines and mind bending guitar licks form the foundation on top of which lead singer Leigh Kakaty commands his audience. Whether amplified or not, his voice can be heard from the very back of any stadium; the sheer energy with which he sings is probably the most ear-catching thing at a Pop evil gig. Combine this with an audience eager to jump on stage with the band and you have yourself a night you won’t forget. Trust me when I say their shows aren’t for the faint-hearted; you can expect to get involved in mosh pits or crowd surf across the venue while listening to songs like Deal With The Devil or Trenches, which recently won the Radio Contraband Rock Radio Award for Song of the Year in 2013. With more than ten years of activity and three albums already released, Pop Evil has toured extensively throughout the US and more recently in Europe, shaking audiences to their bones in an exhilarating and ecstatic parade of testosterone fueled anthems packed with some serious punch. Watch out for these guys, they’re something else entirely.

Pop Evil rocked the house down last night! I'd been reading setlists prior to the show and was really surprised when they opened with Hell on Heels. Leigh told us he was a little under the weather but he gave it 100% and his sounded amazing. I wouldn't have ever known he wasn't feeling well if he hadn't told us. I saw on Instagram that Hayley Cramer has a pinched nerve in her neck, again, never would have known. Highlights: after the last encore, Hayley threw her sticks in the crowd and my fiance caught one! She then went backstage and grabbed a bunch more, but the one he caught was used during the show. She rocks so hard, it's all chewed up. I made an Insta post while watching the opener and Matt Doritos liked it.
A band called Them Evils opened. Watch for them! They're going to be big some day very soon. They were a worthy opener for sure and rocked hard. For the final song encore they came out on stage and joined with PE to play Trenches. You could tell they were all feeding off each other's energies and put on a hell of a show!

Pop Evil is one of my favorites, they are always awesome. Have seen them so many times, we've made a friendship with the guys. Hate to see Chachi leave but even with the new drummer they were still great, I love their music and love the guys. Their so down to earth, willing to give their time to chat and autograph anything you bring. These guys are on their way for greatness. I've seen it in them for the last 5 years. What else can I say, they are truly wonderful artists.

Pop Evil ALWAYS puts on an amazing show. This band truly appreciates their fans. I saw them both nights and enjoyed the hell out of them!!! They have great energy and their music is awesome!! I had the privilege of meeting Leigh after the show and it was an incredible experience— he is TRULY the nicest guy, a great conversationalist & genuinely a FANTASTIC wholesome unique person. GO SEE THEM PLAY!!!

From Badflower, to Red Sun Rising, to Pop Evil every band was on their A game. Badflower performed 5-6 songs closing with Animal, Red Sun Rising Performed about 8-9 closing with Emotionless, and Pop Evil tore the roof off with about 18 tracks closing with Footsteps and Take it All. It was a great show start to finish, don't be late. Pop Evil is great at involving the crowd and feeding off their energy.

Pop Evil is absolutely AWESOME— I enjoyed the hell out of this show!! I had never seen them live before & they were as great as I had anticipated. Their setlist was amazing & their talent is just INCREDIBLE!!! The smile & genuine appreciation Leigh showed the audience when we were all singing was a definite moment to remember. They are really a great, great band....can’t wait to see them again.

I have been a fan of Pop Evil for a while but have never had the chance to see them live. I love seeing shows in smaller venues like Bo's Bar & Grill and I was blown away by PE's performance. Now I am an even bigger fan of theirs! It is so awesome to see a female rip it up on the drums like Hayley (serious bad ass s***). I would love to see their winter 2019 tour.

This was the first concert I had been to along with Disturbed and it was phenomenal. Both bands gave an incredible performance and had awesome energy. I sang along to every word. I would definitely recommend going to see Pop Evil and/ or Disturbed cause I know I want to see them again one day. 10/10 <3

Saturn was a great little venue. The brewery was right across the street and Fancys on 5th had great food. Pop Evil was fantastic. I was five feet from the stage and never felt like a sardine. Some bands are not as good live....Pop Evil IS! Rage on guys...after all...I'm only the Monster you made me!
