Neck Deep is the fifth studio album by Welsh pop-punk band Neck Deep. It was released on 19 January 2024, through Hopeless Records.

Background

Most of the album was recorded in the band's own studio in Wrexham, Wales, besides the drums, which were recorded in Treehouse Studio in England.[1] It was mixed in Los Angeles, California. This is the band's first album without original drummer Dani Washington, as he left the band in May 2022.[2] He was replaced by the band's long time drum technician Matt Powles. The album is produced and engineered by bassist Seb Barlow. This is the first time he has produced and engineered a Neck Deep album since their 2014 debut studio album Wishful Thinking. The lead single, "Heartbreak of the Century", was released on 15 February 2023, along with a music video.

On 9 August 2023, the second single, "Take Me with You" was released, along with a music video. On the same date, frontman Ben Barlow announced that the band would be performing at the Alexandra Palace in London, England, on 28 March 2024, with Knuckle Puck, and Drain.[3] [4]

The album was officially announced on 27 September 2023, along with the release of the third single, "It Won't Be Like This Forever" and its music video. The fourth single, "We Need More Bricks", was released on 16 November 2023. A music video for "Dumbstruck Dumbfuck” came out on 18 January 2024.[5]

On 13 November 2023, it was announced that the band would be playing at the When We Were Young festival on 19 October 2024.[6]

The band toured throughout the United States in support of the album with Drain, Bearings, and Higher Power. The tour started at Marathon Music Works in Nashville, Tennessee on 25 January 2024, and ended at The Salt Shed in Chicago, Illinois on 25 February 2024.[7]
