With all the new rock albums that have come out lately from big bands like Papa Roach, Nickelback & Green Day - a lesser know band can get lost in the shuffle.But if you like good straight up hard rock music, then you should really give Michigan's Pop Evil a listen. I first heard this band quite a bit on satellite radio, and I really liked them. Their album "Lipstick on the Mirror" kicks off with the first song I heard from them, the catchy rocker "Hero". "Breathe", the second song on the album reminds me a bit of Saliva, and yes that's a compliment.
The music just gets better from there, "100 in a 55" is one of my favorite songs on this album - a guitar driven power ballad that has a great sing-a-long chorus, "Stepping Stone" & "Somebody Like You" are 2 more of my favorites.
Singer Leigh Kakaty has a strong voice, although I will admit it sounds a bit twangy on the beginning of "100 in a 55" - (too me anyway) but it works, especially when the song kicks in. There's even an acoustic version of "Stepping Stone" & "100 in a 55" at the end of the album.
So I would say give this album a listen, especially if you like a lot of today's hard rock music - like Shinedown, Saliva, & Puddle of Mudd, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
