Pop Evil is an American rock band that was formed in North Muskegon, Michigan in 2001 by Leigh Kakaty. He then added Dave Grahs, Dylan Allison, and Jamie Nummer. Later, guitarist Tony Greve was added as a temporary studio musician for the band but was invited to become a full-time member in early 2007. Around that time, bassist Jamie Nummer left the band for personal reasons and was replaced by Matt DiRito, formerly of Archangel and Before the Fire. In 2011 Allison had major neck surgery and Chachi Riot (formerly of "Saraph") filled in. In 2012 Riot became a mainstay as Pop Evil's drummer. In 2012 due to personal reasons, Greve quit the band on his own accord and Nick Fuelling stepped up to fill his shoes.
Pop Evil won the Radio Contraband Rock Radio Award for "Song Of The Year" for "Trenches" in 2013
The band was formed from pieces of other Michigan bands in 2001, originally known as TenFive.
They then released independently an album and a 3–song EP, "War of the Roses" (2004) and "Ready or Not" (2006), the latter featuring the concert favorite "Somebody Like You". They also have filmed a music video of the single released in 2006 starring Rossi Morreale and Britt Koth.
What is it for, when they tell you lies
Baby, what is it for
Got one foot out the door
Just like before when you been denied
Baby, just life before
I got your name
For all I know today
I'm gonna fly away, looking for more
'cause you're giving me nothing
I'm so close, what is it for?
What is it for?
Just let it burn, don't keep it inside
Baby, just let it burn
Got one foot out the door
There's no return from passion or pride
Baby, there's no return
I got your name
For all I know today
I'm gonna fly away, looking for more
'cause you're giving me nothing
I'm so close, what is it for?
What is it for?
What is it for?
Go live your life
Baby, what is it for
Got one foot out the door
What is it for?
Go live your life
Baby, what is it for
I got your name
For all I know today
For all I know today
For all I know today
I'm gonna fly away, looking for more
'cause you're giving me nothing
I'm so close, what is it for?
What is it for?
I'm gonna fly away, looking for more
Looking for more
I'm gonna fly away, what is it for?
