^Festival Appearance
Earlier this year the band released their self-titled album, Neck Deep, via Hopeless Records. Featuring previous singles "We Need More Bricks", "It Won't Be Like This Forever", and "
Take Me With You", the new album encompasses everything
Neck Deep have excelled at across their career, enhanced and dialed to eleven. From the bouncing bombast of "Dumbstruck, Dumbf**k" and the ripping intensity of "Sort Yourself Out", to the poetic introspection of "They Don't Mean To (But They Do)",
Neck Deep is an album that boasts a song for almost any occasion (including, in "
Take Me With You", the impending alien invasion).
Neck Deep has been recognized by NPR, Rolling Stone, Grammy.com, Alternative Press, The Noise, New Noise Magazine, SPIN, and other notable outlets.
In the little over a decade since
Neck Deep formed in the Barlow brothers' spare room in Wrexham, Wales, a lot has changed. From the scrappy, naively hopeful beginnings that define the starting of so many teenage bands, the pop-punks have gone on to be one of British Rock music's most successful global exports in recent memory: top 5 records in both the US and UK, global touring, viral hits and over a billion streams just some of the fruits of ten years spent mastering their craft.
But now, as the band stand on the brink of their fifth, self-titled LP, there's an acknowledgement that the more things change, the more - in some ways at least - they stay the same.
"This album is the sound of us knowing ourselves and knowing our ability," explains frontman and youngest Barlow sibling Ben. "It's unapologetically us. We're professional songwriters now and we've really honed in on what we're good at - but it's also about having fun and enjoying writing these tracks. And there are those little sonic signatures in the mix that even I can't really put my finger on that just make it Neck Deep. It happens when we get in a room together and it clicks - it's us just doing our thing like we always have."
For this record, the band, completed by Ben's older brother and bassist Seb Barlow, guitarists Matt West and Sam Bowden and drummer Matt Powles, took 'doing their own thing' - and only their own thing - to the next level. Eschewing a keen list of collaborators and producers eager to work with one of rock's hottest properties and choosing, instead, to write and record in their own warehouse space, mere miles from where they grew up. Old school, just like it used to be.
