About Pop Evil Don't take Skeletons as something macabre or negative. For Pop Evil, the title of their seventh album simply serves as a mission statement. Pop Evil first rose to international prominence with Lipstick on the Mirror, initially released on a small indie in 2008 and reissued by Universal Republic the following year. The band's momentum continued with the addition of new member, Fuelling, for 2013's Onyx; an album that put Pop Evil in the Top 40 of the Billboard 200 for the first time and boasted three No. 1 rock songs. Their next release, Up, was the No. 1 Independent Album in America and made it to #25 on the Billboard 200. It featured several top 5 rock songs ("Ways to Get High," "Take It All," and "If Only for Now") and a chart-topper with "Footsteps."
