POP EVIL CHOOSES MIDWEST NATIVE JOHNNY K TO PRODUCE SOPHOMORE ALBUM

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., June 4, 2010-- After six months of writing new material, Michigan’s Pop Evil is set to record their sophomore album, “War of Angels” (Universal Republic Records) with Midwest native/producer Johnny K (Disturbed, 3 Doors Down, and Finger Eleven) beginning in June.

With the success of “Lipstick on the Mirror”, Pop Evil chose Johnny K because of his knowledge in the Hard Rock, Modern and Mainstream Rock genres, as well as crossover successes. It also helps that Johnny himself is of Midwest origin, having grown up in Chicago.

“Johnny K understands where we want to go with this next album. He gets where we are coming from and knows what it takes to survive here in the Midwest. With this bond, we know he can help take Pop Evil to new heights” remarked lead singer Leigh Kakaty.

“War of Angels”, a title that signifies the struggle people experience when trying to leave their pasts behind, is being tracked in K’s 40,000 square-foot music complex, Groovemaster Recording Studios through June and July.

“We are excited to fly out and be in Chicago with Johnny. Fans should be on the lookout for some webisodes of us jamming in the studio,” stated Kakaty. “We are going to have a hell of a time.”

“War of Angels” is expected to drop later this year
