Some bands mellow with age. Pop Evil, on the other hand, have gone the other way - getting noisier, heavier, and more unrelenting with each passing album. 'What Remains', their eighth full-length release, is the culmination of that journey. This isn’t just another Pop Evil record; this is the sound of a band snapping off the handbrake, baring their scars, and smacking harder than ever before.
We caught up with Lake Malice's Alice Guala and Blake Cornwall, after their blistering half-hour set at Glasgow’s SWG3 Galvanizers in support of RØRY. The Brighton-based band are currently putting the finishing touches to their debut album and are showing great promise, with invites to some major festivals in the UK and Europe in 2025 including 2000trees and Ressurection Fest.
