Fans can expect a nostalgic celebration of the pop-punk classic. Tickets will go on sale on May 30th.
Last week, Neck Deep released a new single, which you can check out here.
Pop-punk band Neck Deep have just released their latest single, You Should See Me Now. The song comes right before their upcoming performance at Slam Dunk Festival this weekend.
Produced and mixed by Will Yip, the track is described by frontman Ben Barlow as “a song about hard work, self-belief, the struggle through adversity and proving people wrong. As a band we’ve always been pretty humble and shied away from too much self-aggrandisement, but this felt like a good way of showing a little pride, hopefully people can relate to that too. It was a song we’ve had in the bank for a long time and really should’ve been on the album in the first place, so it’s nice to have such a strong bonus track to be featured on something cool to be announced soon.”

Neck Deep Announce Self-Titled Album, Release New Single
The wait is over for fans of the pop-punk sensation Neck Deep as the band announces their triumphant return with a self-titled album set to drop on January 19th, 2024, via Hopeless Records. Recorded at the band’s very own warehouse in North Wales, the album promises to deliver their signature sound and is already generating excitement with the release of two previously unveiled singles, Heartbreak Of The Century and Take Me With You.
Frontman Ben Barlow offered insights into the album’s essence, stating, “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.”
Accompanying the exciting news, the band has unveiled the album’s vivid artwork and full tracklisting:
Dumbstruck Dumbf**k
Sort Yourself Out
This Is All My Fault
We Need More Bricks
Heartbreak Of The Century
Go Outside!
Take Me With You
They May Not Mean To (But They Do)
It Won’t Be Like This Forever
Moody Weirdo
For a taste of what’s in store, fans can listen to the latest single from the album, It Won’t Be Like This Forever. Barlow shared the story behind the track, saying, “We wrote the chorus just by chance while working on another song and it ended up being our favorite song on the record. We wrote it the first time we got together after COVID, down in Wales. I guess at the time we were thinking that ‘it won’t be like this forever’ (guess we were right) but as time has gone on, the world has been presented with a whole slew of other problems, and so it’s maintained its relevance.”
He continued, “You can view it through that lens or you can zoom in and make it more personal, which I ended up doing. Meaning that the tough times don’t always last and having someone to help you through those times is a beautiful part of life and love. It’s a love song, a hope song, and a self-improvement song all in one!”
To celebrate the album’s release, Neck Deep will grace the stage with a colossal headline show at London’s iconic Alexandra Palace venue on March 28th, 2024. This is an event no Neck Deep enthusiast will want to miss. Mark your calendars for the highly anticipated return of Neck Deep on January 19th, 2024, and get ready to immerse yourself in their signature pop-punk sound once again.
Neck Deep Unleashes Extraterrestrial-Themed Single ‘Take Me With You’
Neck Deep fans are in for a treat as the band drops their latest single, Take Me With You, featuring an extraterrestrial twist.
Frontman Ben Barlow explains that the song was inspired by the concept of being abducted by aliens as an escape from the challenges of the world.
‘Take Me With You’ is one of those songs where I had the title first. Literally as simple as – we should write a song about aliens called Take Me With You. So conceptually and lyrically it was pretty straightforward. A few of us in the band are big UFO heads, particularly Seb (Barlow, bass), so we had a lot of fun writing this one.“
He continues “As always there’s a slight social commentary, ultimately I’d rather be (hypothetically) abducted by aliens than stick round on this ‘hellish sack of burning trash’. I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t a slight nod to Blink 182’s ‘Aliens Exist’ too, but you can blame Tom for infecting my fragile mind at a young age and then going and busting the UFO world wide open! It’s a little bit of fun before we come at people with the more meaningful stuff a little later down the line.”
The track, laced with a touch of social commentary, adds a fun touch to the band’s repertoire.
Additionally, fans can mark their calendars for Neck Deep‘s headline show at London’s Alexandra Palace on March 28th, 2024, which they just announced. Tickets go on sale this Friday, August 11th.
