That’s why we take it very seriously to appreciate what is happening RIGHT NOW by living in the moment. We are not taking success for granted and will continue to waive the Rock ’N' Roll Flag!  It's time for the ROCK community to come together to spread the awareness that Rock N Roll is a force to be reckoned with.  Come join us this January as we embark on our Rock ’N' Roll quest across the states on the ROCK ’N' ROLL NOW TOUR: RIGHT NOW!"About the tour, frontman Leigh Kakaty says,

"The strongest Pop Evil album to date." - REVOLVER MAGAZINE "UP is Pop Evil’s most ambitious album so far. It has that mainstream appeal while allowing them to push their musical boundaries a bit. It’s a satisfying album which sports a title that reflects the band’s current career trajectory." LOUDWIRE "There is no shortage of boisterous anthems." TEAM ROCK
