In the last decade, Neck Deep has been a force to be reckoned with, storming the charts both at home and abroad, selling a staggering number of records, packing concert venues to the rafters, and gracing magazine covers worldwide. Along the way, they’ve shared stages with industry heavyweights and established themselves as a powerhouse in the business.
Their latest single, “Heartbreak Of The Century,” released earlier this year, captures the essence of Neck Deep’s signature sound – a perfect blend of catchiness, angst, speed, power, and just a touch of self-deprecation. Vocalist Ben Barlow describes it as a classic Neck Deep song that hits all the right notes. And let’s not forget the Academy Award-worthy music video that accompanies it.
But that’s not all. Before “Heartbreak Of The Century,” Neck Deep unleashed their 2022 single “STFU,” a track filled with thunderous guitar riffs and driving drum fills. It harkens back to the band’s early days while also propelling them in an exciting new direction that leads straight into the heart-wrenching “Heartbreak Of The Century.”
Neck Deep’s fourth album, “All Distortions Are Intentional,” dropped in 2020 via Hopeless Records, and it made waves across the globe. The album claimed the #6 spot on the prestigious Billboard Top Album charts and secured #2 positions on the Alternative, Rock, Independent, and Internet Album charts. In addition, it soared to #3 on the Vinyl charts in the United States. Across the pond in the UK, the album made a remarkable Top 5 debut on the Top Albums chart. Polished yet raw, layered yet undeniably catchy, “All Distortions Are Intentional” solidified Neck Deep’s status as a band to watch.
These bands are here to dominate, and they won’t take no for an answer.
