Pop Evil

Pop Evil was incredibly rude to Palaye Royale and their fanbase. I don t want anyone to have to witness that catastrophe or to have to stand in the cold because of misplaced faith in them (Pop Evil). Rude. Palaye Royale was amazing though and I will never forget their kindness. I m excited to see them again at Warped this year. Black Panther was also quite funny and they sounded a bit like Pearl Jam, so I ll definitely be checking them out.

Other than parking this event was amazing. The staff was great and the artists that performed were outstanding! I had a blast and made new friends and got to rock to some great music!

Their meet and greet was truly awesome. Each band member was so warm, nice, engaging, grounded, open, and fun! And Leigh even smelled phenomenal (It was NOT the Wahlburgers!). It was great to meet each one and have the opportunity to talk. The meet and greet was well orchestrated by their management or venue (not sure which), but it worked. The actual concert was a total joy. Pop Evil band members are great performers -they really enjoy the live performance and it shows. Very fun event. Unforgettable!. I will definitely see them again in future.

Pop Evil was not my favorite however the second band that played, Otherwise, was amazing. They were energetic and had tons of crowd participation. They are an amazing group of guys and I'll definitely see them again and WILL be buying their Album in May.

Pop Evil always gives it all, I always end up asking myself - why are the tickets so cheap ? And if you were not there you missed one he'll of a show. I love and Believe in this Band so much, can not even tell you. The band is so much fun, so incredibaly talented and appreciative to their fans.

All four bands did a fantastic show. Three of them I had never seen before, but they put on a good show and would definately see them again. Pop Evil always puts on a great show and they blow the roof off the building. Definately can't wait to see them again.

Went to see Otherwise and was not disappointed! What a great show. All the bands were amazing and I got to meet and greet with Otherwise after thier set. What a great bunch of guys.

Awesome vocals! Whole band sounded amazing. They hung with the crowd after the show too. Great time!

Fantastic show! Their music if unbelievable. The show should have been advertised more because I think a lot more people would have attended! Was this review helpful to you?

Took the sound guy acouple songs to get just right, but after they sounded f'n tight! The lead guitarist had a solo that led right into a song that so cool. Go see these guys!!!!

The venue was not overcrowded so it gave you a generous amount to breathe and dance. The opening act was a band that I did not know of but will look them up since they were good, (Creep Left) and the main reason I went, (POP EVIL) they were AMAZING ! not a single person was sitting down and if you didnt go home voiceless, bruised and/or bleeding (and maybe a little buzzed) you didnt attend this concert the right way!

Pop Evil never fails to put on a great show - I love this band! Their music grabs you as soon as they come on the stage and doesn't stop until they leave. They were kind enough to give us a preview of some of the songs on their new CD that will be released in 2011 - I think you're going to like them - especially the "Monster you made me" and the "Save the World" songs (Please excuse me if I don't have the titles exactly right). I still can't get the "Monster you made me" song out of my head - It's AWESOME... They also played favorites like "100 in a 55" & "Another Romeo & Juliet". This band loves their fans & hang out with everyone in the back after the show until the venue kicked us out. Not only are they talented musicians they are are great group of guys. Seasons After put on a good hard rocking show with a mush pits erupting a couple times during their performance. The crowd got into their little sister song. New Medicine & Atom Smash did not make this show :-(, but Turning Point did a fine job opening up.

Pop Evil is Awesome.. They are 5 very talented men..They are a must see.. They work the crowd and the stage well The music ROCKS.. I am not good with words they rock from the heart you will not be disappointed..I Love Pop Evil!!!!!!!!!!!

pop evil great band sounded good seasons after great band they have one hell of a lead guitar player turning point good up and comeing band

Pop Evil was awesome! All their songs were played at perfection and all the new material sounded great. Now I can't wait til February for War of Angels to come out. Can't wait to see Pop Evil again when they come back to New Jersey.

Pop Evil rocked the crowd Friday nite...everyone on the floor was really into them...I feel bad that there weren't more people at the show. Those of us who did go had an awesome time. I have seen them several times and loved each show....I know they aren't a household name (yet) but if you have a chance go see them...you won't be disappointed.

Pop Evil - Third or Fourth time I have seem them and they get better and better. Never have I witnessed a band that is so gracious and appreciative of their fans. Keep on rockin guys because you deserve all the greatness that comes to you!!!

Pop Evil was great it was their first headline but won't be the last for sure! Starland needs to put on AC / heat as needed and we ordered 2 Jim Beam on the rocks and I am still not sure what the hell came out of that JB bottle, Starland stop mixing the bottoms of the liquor bottles!!!

I ve seen Pop Evil several times now and they ve always been great live! If this band was around 30 years ago they d be bigger than Guns N Roses! Recommend!

Pop Evil is an incredibly talented band. Their concert was amazing! The setlist was packed with all their best & completely awesome, and the crowd was fantastic. One of the highlights of the concert for me was when the audience sang Monster You Made and Leigh showed his sincerest appreciation of his fans, you could tell by his actions & the look on his face that he was in awe of the crowd....it truly was a great moment. I can t wait to see them again at Jones Beach in June!!!! Simply INCREDIBLE!!

Great show Pop Evil never disappoints. Can t wait to see them again.

Awesome show they are an amazing band. We had the meet and greet amazing night

Pop Evil is consistently great. These guys (and one awesome woman) love their fans, they love performing, and it shows. They tore Lancaster PA up! Hayley is one of the best drummers out there. The Chameleon Club was a small, old school venue that was perfect. So glad I went.

Purchased both the general admin ticket and the VIP meet and greet package from Pop Evil. Was absolutely the best concert $$ I've ever spent (and I go to 100+ shows a year)!! The venue is always great. I love the house of blues Dallas for any rock/metal concert as the audio and size of venue is perfect!! Pop Evil, as always was incredible! As was Black Map! The first band Palaye Royale was almost unbearable...but that's a personal preference/opinion. As for the VIP package with meet and greet....I'm not a first timer and this was definitely "not my first rodeo". But it was my first with Pop Evil. They are probbably the most personable and humble group of musicians I've ever met. We were given ample time for selfies, conversation and then group pictures with our own devices. Their management crew was so great! They tresated us not only like humans, versus herding cattle, but the event went so smoothly! All the other fans in my group were kind and we all waited our turn with each band member. They autographed anything we asked them to, and I have several items signed by all 5 members!! I was able to share pictures from previous shows with lead vocalist and then during the show when he saw me on the rail, rocking out, during the same song that we had conversed about, he literally pointed at me and referenced the memory I'd shared with him on staged. I couldn't have asked for a better Saturday night. Loved every second of it!! They enjoy their fans and I felt the appreciation from all of them. Normal people, just like us, rather than above us. I will never forget it and to be honest...future meet and greet will be hard to beat this one!!

Loved all the Bands. Was surprised by Drowning Pool. Very awesome.

Took my 9 yr old daughter and we loved it. Her first concert and we will be back next year

The concert wasn't terrible. Could have been better experience if they would use the megaton to show the stage for those who don't want to be in the mosh pit in the middle of the field,and would actually like to use to the seats to enjoy the concert in the shade on a 90° day. And maybe have an additional location for smokers

The show was awesome! I caught a t-shirt from Trapt, I high fived Jason Moreno from Drowning Pool, and caught a drum stick from Sick Puppies. Pop Evil finished the show with a rocking performance!

Pop Evil was great. Highly disappointed that Red Sun Rising wasn't there. I was looking for to seeing them.

This Venue is the best! Pop Evil brought it to their hometown!

The whole show was on fire. Great warm up bands with Kaleido and Badflower. Pop Evil was the icing on the cake and put on an amazing show!

Couldn't have asked for a better concert. High energy, great sound, great band. Will see them EVERY TIME they come to town.

The band was amazing. This was my first time seeing pop evil and I can't wait to see them again!! Lots of crowd interaction and lots of energy!! And the new drummer killed it. The whole band was awesome

Pop Evil put on a great energetic show. Leigh got the whole crowd involved. Everyone had a great time. They are a great band that have remained humble and appreciate their fans. The opening band Badflower was also very good.

I really enjoyed the first half of the evening. Badflower opened the show and were the absolute standout of the night. Powerful songs, paired with meaningful, well thought out lyrics, and incomparable stage presence. They are the whole package. The crowd was really into them and they delivered. Next up were Red Sun Rising. A tight group of talented musicians that work great together. Very solid performance and a fantastic lead singer. Unfortunately the headliners Pop Evil fell short. Their performance felt gimmicky and insincere and the audience responded by leaving the venue in droves. I gave 5 stars only because Badflower and Red Sun Rising are exceptional.

Probably the best show/venue we've been to. Badflower kicked the night off right with raw rocking energy. I'm sure they made lots of new fans! Red Sun Rising (the band we came to see) did not let us down. They played clean, sounded amazing and kept everyone pumped up thru their whole set!! Pop Evil finished the night off. While the frontman interacted with the crowd a lot, compared to the other bands they (with the exception of the bass player and drummer) lacked energy IMO. They've been doing it a lot longer so maybe they're just more lax about it but after following the other two bands it felt kinda lazy.

All three band were great! Good luck to Badflower they were awesome!

PopEvil show in Charlotte was incredible! Played a lot of their older songs which was great.

The group Badflower was the best opening band I have ever heard in my 40 years of concerts. Remember that name, they will be HUGE. Red Sun Rising and Pop Evil were awesome and put on a great show.

Love the bands been following them for a few years now. Sometimes they sounded distorted with the speakers being amped up too much but still was awesome.

The band was on fire! The crowd was into the music and the band played off the crowd! This show was awesome beyond belief!

Seen them 12/20/2015 Red Room Saginaw Mi. first time at the red room 3 times prior other locations but they were off this time, could be the venue and or poor sound system at the Red Room. Also the band lacked emotion and intensity except for (Joshua) the drummer whom was a crazy man as usual "he rocked". To really sum it up Wilson played earlier and every member of the band were passionate and soaked in sweat after there set they killed it, Pop evil was the opposite (except for drummer Josh) whom was awesome. I normally would never leave a review but this is my 4th Pop Evil concert and you would have to be blind and deaf not to notice a difference after they followed (Wilson) and the fact the 3 other shows I've seen Pop Evil they were awesome!!. I would still encourage folks to see Pop Evil since its just one concert and you cant be 100% every time and who knows what goes on behind the scenes or if some of the guys were ill or just tired from touring. Rock On....

Pop Evil kicked butt from start to finish! I want to thank them for putting on a great show! I also got to meet the lead singers of Islander and Red Sun Rising. Awesome show guys!!!

GREAT SHOW!! I've waited a long time to see the band. They lived up to my expectations! Not too little, not too much. Perfect mix of pop and rock. The crowd was ready and receptive and really rocked out with the band. No disappointment here!! I will definitely attend another show. (Opening band, Avatar, I'd never seen before. I loved their music, too.)

The show was really cool never experienced anything like it the only down fall was that the singers microphone could of been louder but when ETF played One for the money the crowd went wild it was a hell of a show.

Amazing event Can't wait til next year ! Pop Evil Era 9 Young Gun and Girl on Fire were stellar show Actively involved crowd it was phenomenal experience !!

Had a great time at the Blitzmas concert. All bands were great ! It is always great to go to a rock concert at the Newport.

Awesome concert ! Best show I've seen live for a hard rock concert in a long while. Pop evil delivers and does not disappoint ! The other opening bands (kickin Valentina And Eve to Adam) were also notable. Well worth the tickets price except for the time of the week (Sunday ) .

Didn't know who was going to be opening up with Pop Evil but both bands that did were good. Ended up finding a new band that I liked and got to meet and planon seeing them again. Cant wait to see Pop Evil again!

Amazing show...Pop Evil ROCKED!!!!! Met them both before and after the show...very great guys. Thier music is amazing... Theiy are a must see!!!

I first discovered this band when they opened for Theory of a Deadman a few years ago at Starland. They totally stole the show!!! I got to meet them afterwards (they signed my pants and my CD, woo!) and I've been hooked ever since. I was quite excited to see them at Starland again and boy did they deliver. Pure rock & roll. They are one of the few bands that can play brand new material at a show and still have the audience moving. Can't wait for the new album! Come back soon, boys!

Pop Evil continues to impress me with their live show. This was the 3rd time I've seen them since moving to Michigan, and they continue to evolve as a band. The songs from the unreleased CD sound great - it's a shame that the release date has been pushed back and fans couldn't hear the songs in entirety before the show. The venue's sound was less than desirable, with lots of feedback at various points and a general unbalance of sound at the beginning of the show, but the band was amazing. Barring the sound malfunctions, it was a great place to see a great band in an intimate setting.

OMFG. This show was off the chain! All of the bands were amazing!! It was so rock n roll, and I had one of the best nights of my life. All of the bands put on a great show :)

Pop evil was awesome as usual. Sounded great and rocked it.

Pop Evil put on a great show, they played everything I wanted to hear. I got the cheap seats and wish I had spent the extra money for GA Floor, they were having way more fun.

Great show, great energy from the band and audience.

Pop Evil is a very good, straight ahead, rock n roll band!!

Show was amazing, sound was amazing. Everything started very close to time. Definitely love this venue! Pop Evil showed out!!!!

I went to this concert to see Palaye Royale and had the most amazing night ever.. the venue was really nice and even let some people in early to get out of the cold...The venue is clean and set up well and i had so much fun!

The place was packed and everyone was having a great time. Show was great and the sound was perfect. Ballroom was clean

An awesome show altogether but Black Map was the highlight. Pop Evil, Palaye Royale and Black Map was the billing. Pop Evil did not play a very long set, mainly their big hits. Palaye Royale was geared towards a younger crowd, very high energy but music was not crisp. Black Map came on stage and just plowed the audience with in your face hard rock. Crowd was surprised by the direct rock effect and quickly became engaged. Just an awesome Rock Show for all ages.

Sound was messed up for some reason, singer sounded muffled and unclear.. At one point he singer asked if we could hear him because he couldn t hear either....... and beer is way over priced

They put on an amazing show. I was a Pop Evil fan going in and now I am a much bigger fan.I would definitely recommend going to see them.

Loved the band Pop Evil, Very good sound and had an excellent view from the balcony above.

Pop Evil was truly awesome. Love the way they move around the stage. I almost caught a pic. The place was great no bad seats at all. People were very friendly. Had a really good time. I will be back.

Love Aura and the band was amazing! Had the best night!

The Pop Evil band members are truly professional musicians. I met each ban member prior to the performance. They were so friendly, cordial and courteous. They showed a genuine interest in my conversation with them. Their staff (Rebecca and Leigh's body guard) were very professional and friendly. Pop Evil's performance was absolutely outstanding. A high energy and passionate performance! I highly recommend attending a Pop Evil concert and adding the meet and greet option. Pawley Royale's performance was also outstanding. High energy with much enthusiasm. After their performance, the band members including the lead singer spent 1.5 hours meeting with fans and signing autographs. Black Map also met with fans after their performance. Black Map gave fans a great performance too.

What can I say? Pop Evil is my favorite live band! They appreciate their fans and they remain humble and true to Rock and Roll. If they come anywhere in Northern New England, I will be there to support them. Aura is a very nice venue. It is clean and the security and staff are well trained and helpful. I especially like that there is a bar and restaurant on premises that remains open after the show. All three bands were good and the drummer from Black Map was fierce. Pop Evil works with their fans and the place was hopping! Awesome show, awesome venue.

Popevil killed it once again at TLA Philly. Playa Royale and Black Map were surprisingly excellent. TLA PHILLY is great place to get up close to performers.

First off I love the intimacy of Gramercy Theater. Yeah being in a big arena is cool and the vibe can be wild but something about being so close to the band and not be trampled by a crowd where you can enjoy the music and sing along goes a long way with me in choosing where I see a show. Pop Evil as always brought it, this is the second time I've seen them headlining their own tour and they show they can handle it. They are energetic and fun to watch onstage. They kept the vibe going from seamlessly flowing from one song to the next, from old classics to the new album they just dropped. What I love as well is seeing how much they genuinely love doing what they do and Leigh brings the vocals every time! Looking forward to celebrating another 10 years of great music with them~

Both opening acts were great especially Palaye Royale. Loved their energy. Pop Evil was fantastic as always. Very interactive with the crowd. Set was perfect. The guys never disappoint, love them

Always a high energy and entertaining show! Buckhead Theatre is great...had awesome time.

Dark Map was pretty good, but Palaye Royale was the bomb! They were fantastic! Pop Evil, well let me call them and their entourage, evil divas! They will not be around long!

Awesome show and had a great time. Love this band. Got to meet them before the show and they are so down to earth!!!

I've been to see Pop Evil 4 times now and it's always a great show. The music is fantastic. They love they do and it shows.

I I wasn't able to attend cuz I didn't know it was a 21 and over show. I was taking my 14 year old son so we couldn't go cuz we thought it was just a concert. Everything made it seem like it was a concert rather than the mock wedding with a band playing at it. Really disappointed.

Pop Evil put on a great show. The Rovers Morning Glory bit was the stupidest thing I ve ever seen. Trying to be a Howard Stern knockoff....EPIC FAILURE!!!

It was a perfect day out for an outdoor concert and all the bands were great!

So I went to this for just a couple of the groups and honestly they ended up being some of my least favorite acts of the evening, beer prices were high, a technical issue occurred but it was still a good show

I loved all the bands on the Make America Rock Again Tour; Saliva, Trapt, Sick Puppies, Drowning Pool, and Scott Stapp. My favorite artist was scott Stapp. I met him before show, such a loving and awesome guy. He ruled! The entire show was great.

We had a great time!! Not a huge Creed/ Scott Stapp fan ...so the fact that he didn't get to play didn't bother us!!

Perfect day for this event. Great lineup of bands.

As always, Pop Evil KICKED ASS!! Glad to have been there. Small venue made this show feel like a "by invitation only" concert. They rock and have fun doing so.

They killed it! Always nice to see these Grand Rapids rockers rocking their hometown! I never miss that for the world!

Great band to see live. They did a wonderful job but i get the feeling they glad they're getting a well deserved break.

Kaleido opened strong, and Pop Evil came in to clean up. An electric, hard rock show. Fun from beginning to end. Lots of energy, tremendous fan interaction, and a rock show for the books!

I had the best time I have had in years. The music was outstanding, the venue is awesome, and the people running the show were very respectful and accommodating. Incredibly great time.

Even though I did not like either of the opening acts Pop Evil like always made it worth it. Pop Evil makes me feel so proud of a band from my home town has went so far and has made it so big. And best of all when they come back home they are the same guys that grew up around here and never act like they don't belong or are better than anyone else. This is one of the best bands around to see and always show love and respect to their fans.

They do a very good show !! They appeared right on time. They were so nice and friendly to the crowd.

pop evil was great of corse they r from around grand rapids so they put on one hell of a show. I don't remember the names of the opening bands the first group was vary good. the second band sucked. all in all it was way worth the money!!!!

This was a great line up! All three bands were great with tons of energy!! I don't know how anybody could stay in there seat!! The venue was good except the incline in the upper mezz was to steep, it felt unsafe. I anticipate hearing of someone falling over the row in front of them.

Played hard with plenty of crowd participation. Hometown band that really did put on a good show.

Still wondering what happened to Red Sun Rising???? I bought these tickets because Red Sun Rising was the opening act, but once we got to the venue, the marquee was for two other bands (that I never heard of) opening for Pop Evil. Once I got through the two opening bands, Pop Evil was GREAT!! This would be a five star show if Red Sun Rising actually played.

Pop Evil put on a great show as usual and did not disappoint. Leigh's voice sounded like the tour has really worn him down, but he powered through. However, purchased ticket billed as "Pop Evil with Red Sun Rising", but apparently the opening act was dropped from the tour. I was not impressed by the first band (Kaleido). Badflower was good for the kind of music they played, but Red Sun Rising would have really rounded out the lineup. I inquired about a refund but was denied by Ticketmaster.

This was my 7th Pop Evil concert & the 2nd time at the Old National Centre. The time we were in the basement but the sound was still great. We did the VIP meet greet & meeting & mingling with the band was the best experience possible.

This was my second time seeing Pop Evil and they never disappoint. They engage the audience and their songs are so fun!

One of the best live bands I've had the pleasure of seeing four times. Even the opening bands were awesome!

Back in early November, a show at the TLA in Philly was announced called \u2018The Noise Presents Pop Evil . On the bill were also Red Sun Rising and Badflower. Being a huge Red Sun Rising fan, I purchased a ticket, a VIP upgrade and parking pass. I drive all the way to Philly from the Jersey Shore, only to find out that Red Sun Rising was removed from the bill and some no-name local band was added.

We couldn't wait to see them and we were not disappointed - They rocked and it was a blast

Badflower is my band to watch. Pop Evil killed it too. Awesome concert. First time at TLA, can't wait to go again!
