Neck Deep Return With Self Titled Album & US Tour Dates

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 exports in recent memory, including top five 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. 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.” (Ben Barlow)

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. Neck Deep‘s self titled album can now be pre-ordered / added / saved here and the band will be hitting the road in the US later this month with support from Drain, Bearings and Higher Power.
