UK pop-punk powerhouse Neck Deep make a triumphant return with a brand new single “You Should See Me Now” via Hopeless Records. Fuelled by resilience and rebellion, the track captures everything fans love about Neck Deep—raw honesty, unrelenting drive, and the defiant spirit that has continued to fuel the band from day one.
The new single, produced by the legendary Will Yip (Turnstile, Movements, Tigers Jaw), follows their recent fall tour announcement with The Story So Far. Speaking on the new single, frontman Ben Barlow says, “‘You Should See Me Now’ is 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, and 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.”
Their latest self-titled 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 May Not Mean To (But They Do)”, ‘Neck Deep’ is an album that boasts a song for almost any occasion. The album has received accolades and support from 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.
