Great to catch up with Pop Evil singer Leigh Kakaty. He said the band has a lot going on, including writing and recording new music. "We're constantly writing, new single, obviously coming here and we're just excited, man." We talked about the newest member of the band, drummer Blake Allison, and bass player Joey Walser. "Every new person's different, you know? And, obviously, Haley was great. She was amazing, for us for a long time. But Blake now and obviously his relationship with Joey, who played bass with us, they played together in Egypt Central and Devour the Day. So there's such a chemistry now for our rhythm section that we've not had before, you know, because when you grow up, a bass and a drummer like Joey and Blake have, there's a tightness there that spreads to Nick, Dave and I, the rest of the band." As far as the new music is concerned, they have a lot done. "A lot of new stuff. We're at that cool stage where we have enough for an album easily, but, we're really trying to be picky, man. And like you said, making albums now is personally is such a blessing. And it's something that, you know, may not be around much longer. So if we're going to do it on the hit, hit, hit, big, big, big, whatever that means to us. Right? And big doesn't have to mean necessarily number one. It has to mean like something that we can really elevate our live show with." The Heaviest Pop Evil Record As Leigh described the new material, it sounded like it could be a much heavier direction for the band. I asked him if it was indeed heavier. "Absolutely. The heaviest Pop Evil record, without a doubt, really, hands down. So it'll be interesting for what fans say on that. But you know, the players, they're just different, right? When you put some of the same guys you put in Joey & Blake. It's just a heavier band. I mean, it's just different. You know, I mean, Joey and Blake come from metal and heavier rock and roll backgrounds. I mean, those are those with the guys can play, you know what I mean? That's what we play. So that's kind of where it's at. And I think there's the darkness. It's where we're at in our career. You know, it's like, okay, sure we've had success, but we feel like we got a lot to prove, man."
Devour the Day's Joey Walser and Blake Allison get ready for the release of their latest EP, 'Fragments of Us,' out on July 12.
Embracing their shared legacy of epic thunder and electrifying intensity, Hard Rock/Alt Metal heroes Devour the Day and Egypt Central unite for "Nobody Owns Me," a blistering anthem with two compelling vocalists, Blake Allison and John Falls, joined in an impassioned testament of self-determination. The track is paired with an ambitiously futuristic video, employing the newest innovations in AI technology to create dazzling visuals of otherworldly imagery thanks to Magic Orb. "The music video for 'Nobody Owns Me' is like nothing we've ever seen, and that is exactly what we were after," notes the band. "We are absolutely blown away by the visuals, but even more thrilling is being able to tell a story in a way that no one will have ever seen before. The AI has enabled us to tell a story we otherwise wouldn't have been able to tell and personalize it without breaking the bank." "'Nobody Owns Me' is about taking control of our future and standing against an archaic system," declares Allison, Falls and bassist Joey "Chicago" Walser. "We are using everything we have to win, but without compromising what we create. Devour the Day and Egypt Central have come together to make a statement about independence. We make what we want, how we want, when we want and give it to the community that supports us. 'Nobody Owns Me' is about freedom, and the willingness to fight for it." The song's out now and available on all digital outlets, while the video is streaming now on the band's official YouTube page. Devour the Day has launched their own indie imprint, A Window In, and a massive audience is listening, as confirmed by over 60 million streams since the label's inception three years ago. This self-sufficiency also provides the authority to present the two band entities of "Nobody Owns Me" with equal ownership. "I'm not a soul for sale," says the song's lyrics. "The subject of the new song is actually what we're doing -- pure independence, no label or manager tells us what to do," they explain.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.
