About the tour, frontman Leigh Kakaty says, "What an exciting time to announce a full headline tour across the states as we launch our final single off UP  'If Only For Now.'  It’s no secret, as a 'Rock' musician this is a very difficult era to survive in. 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!"

Friends Red Sun Rising have been touring relentlessly off their debut album POLYESTER ZEAL which has achieved 2 straight #1 rock singles with “The Otherside” & “Emotionless.” Check out the video of their newest single “Amnesia” here.  Los Angeles based rock group Badflower just finished a tour with Billy Talent and will be putting out their debut EP this winter on John Varvatos/Republic Records.

POP EVIL recently announced a new batch of select U.S. and European dates supporting 3 DOORS DOWN with friends RED SUN RISING opening the night. The U.S. tour just concluded and now Pop Evil amps up for their return to Europe for the first time since their triumphant appearance on the 2015 Download Festival main stage and the release of their radio chart-topping and critically acclaimed album Up, of which Classic Rock Magazine said, "There's no shortage of boisterous anthems." Having grown from strength to strength off the success of Up stateside, their achievements have been recognized and endorsed by Kerrang! Magazine, who said their "success is not just inevitable, but deserved."

Additionally, Pop Evil wrapped up a buzzworthy tour supporting ROB ZOMBIE and DISTURBED on a month long trek that included a highlighted stop at ROCK ON THE RANGE.

POP EVIL released UP last summer and saw the release land at #1 on the Billboard Indie Chart in the week of its release. The LP pulled in at #25 Billboard Top 200, #16 Overall and #3 Top Hard Music albums.

UP was released with some serious critical accolades. Blabbermouth called it "an album that will rock the socks (and other clothes, no doubt) off their fans." Huffington Post said the new LP "finds the Michigan band is in fine form." News powerhouse USA Today even recognized that Pop Evil have"become a familiar presence on rock radio" in a recent feature with vocalist Leigh Kakaty. POP EVIL released a flurry of tracks off their LP before its release. "Footsteps" led the charge with "In Disarray," "Dead In The Water" and "Ghost Of Muskegon" right behind it.
