Neck Deep are a Welsh pop-punk band formed in Wrexham in 2012. They released a pair of EPs, Rain in July (2012) and A History of Bad Decisions (2013), before signing with Hopeless Records in August 2013.

Key Information

Neck Deep was founded after vocalist Ben Barlow met former lead guitarist Lloyd Roberts; the pair posted a song ("What Did You Expect?") online under the name Neck Deep. The song soon gained attention online, resulting in the addition of rhythm guitarist Matt West, drummer Dani Washington/Abasi, and bassist Fil Thorpe-Evans.

After the release of their debut album Wishful Thinking in January 2014, the band became a full-time project, with the band members leaving their jobs and/or dropping out of university courses. Shortly after the release of their second album Life's Not out to Get You in August 2015, Roberts left the band due to allegations of sexual misconduct (which he was subsequently found to have no case to answer[citation needed]),[1] and Sam Bowden (formerly of Climates and Blood Youth) joined in his place. The group's third album The Peace and the Panic was released August 2017, and debuted at No. 4 on the US Billboard 200. In September 2018, Thorpe-Evans left the band to pursue a solo career as a producer. In 2019, the band embarked in a summer tour with Blink-182 as the opening act. By February 2020, the band added longtime collaborator and bassist Seb Barlow as an official member; later that month, they also revealed an app with a variety of multimedia regarding the announcement of their fourth album, titled All Distortions Are Intentional, released 24 July 2020. Their self-titled fifth album was released on 19 January 2024.

The band released their debut album, Wishful Thinking, on 14 January 2014. Up until this point, the band was a "fun, part-time [entity]", according to Barlow.[15] With the release of the album, the band became a full-time thing, according to Barlow: "Fuck it, let's do this properly".[15] The success of the album resulted in Thorpe-Evans, West and Roberts quitting their jobs, Washington turning down a place at the Academy of Contemporary Music[16] and Barlow dropping out of university.[9] After the release of Wishful Thinking, Neck Deep began 2014 with a full UK headline tour and also toured the UK as the main support for We Are the In Crowd, before a headline tour covering the US with Knuckle Puck, Light Years and Misguided by Giants.[17] The band were announced to perform on 2014 edition of Vans Warped Tour.[18] The band's two EPs were remixed and remastered as part of the compilation Rain in July / A History of Bad Decisions, released on Hopeless on 17 June.[19] It was released to capitalise on the band's popularity at the time.[20] Barlow said that this compilation would be "definitive release of [these] songs".[21] The band hoped that the new fans that enjoyed Wishful Thinking "will enjoy the chance to check these songs out now that we've had a chance to improve how they sound!"[21] The band won the Kerrang! Award for Best British Newcomer 2014, beating nominees Blitz Kids, Bury Tomorrow, Lonely the Brave, and Decade.[22] The band headlined the Intercontinental Championships Tour, along with Knuckle Puck (USA), Seaway (Canada) and Trophy Eyes (Australia), and touring the UK. The tour was set to start January 2015 and run through February.[23] In late 2014, they entered the studio with producers Andrew Wade and Jeremy McKinnon to record their second album.

On 27 April 2015 the band made a post on their Facebook page consisting of nothing more than "Can't Kick Up the Roots. 12.05.15". This post turned out to be a song and the release date of 12 May. A few days later on 4 May, the band made another Facebook post stating the name of their new album, Life's Not out to Get You. The release date of this album was 14 August. On 10 May, "Can't Kick Up the Roots" premiered on UK radio station BBC Radio 1 and was met with much praise by fans, with the band then stating that the song's music video and pre-orders for the album would be available on 12 May. The band played all dates of the 2015 edition of Vans Warped Tour. On 19 July, "Gold Steps" was premiered live on Daniel P. Carter's BBC Radio 1 rock show. The album made No.10 on Billboard's Top Album Sales list, and the band made No. 67 on the Artist 100 list.

On 22 August 2015, allegations of sexual misconduct against guitarist Lloyd Roberts were made, as well as bassist Fil-Thorpe, in which Roberts was accused of sending inappropriate photos to an underage girl. Roberts denied these allegations. The band responded that they were aware of the situation and asked for "a moment to get to the bottom of this."[24] The next day, they clarified that Roberts would be "stepping down" from his position in the band as he did not want to tarnish the band's reputation as a result of these allegations.[25] He said, "I’m now looking to put this horrendous chapter in my life behind me as I instead look forward to the future. For me, that means doing the one thing I love the most – writing and recording music."[26] On 13 October 2015, Roberts released a statement which explained that the police had cleared him of all charges, stating that they "found no case" to back up the allegations made against him. In the same statement, Roberts hinted that there are no plans for him to return to the band.[27] On 17 December 2015, Sam Bowden, of Climates[28] and Blood Youth,[29] officially joined the band as their new lead guitarist.[30]

On 27 June 2016, the band began writing new material for the band's third album. They began working on the album in the studio eight months after writing the band's new music on 21 February 2017. On 15 January 2017, the band's vocalist, Ben Barlow, stated that a band should always show progression in its music and they are certainly aware that is what they want to do in the band's third album. In an interview with the lead singer, Barlow explains how his father's passing influenced his motivation for writing Neck Deep's most recent album. Ben connects his father's death and the album by stating, "It's definitely opened my mind up creatively, it's gonna be a little ball of inspiration that I can kind of pick at, I guess."[31] On 5 April 2017, the band finished the album and was set to release it on 18 August of the same year. On 21 May Neck Deep released two new songs along with music videos for them. "Where Do We Go When We Go" and "Happy Judgement Day".

He also commented on two of the new tracks on the album, including the track "Happy Judgement Day" of which Barlow commented that it "... is on the panic side, and really, that song is a comment on the current social and political climate.". He also stated "Where Do We Go When We Go" is the last track on the record, and we feel it summarises our mood well. Very directly, the message is: "Fuck all this shit, fuck all the noise, let’s just make something of ourselves before our time is up."[32]

On 5 July 2017 in Charlotte, North Carolina the band gained attention on the Warped Tour when the members were reportedly under police lockdown due to a fatal shooting outside the bar they were in. The bassist of the band, Fil Thorpe-Evans, tweeted, "FYI last night a few of us were in a bar police lock down because there was a fatal shooting literally outside. Had to hide behind the bar".[33] None of the band members were injured as the scene calmed down upon the arrival of the police.[citation needed]

Members of the band performed a DJ set at Emo Nite Day hosted by Emo Nite in Los Angeles in December 2017.[34] On 4 September 2018, bassist Fil Thorpe-Evans announced the departure from the band.

The band spent the summer of that year touring as support for Blink-182 and Lil Wayne.[37] Wayne threatened to quit the tour due to the size of the crowds, saying "Please forgive me but I am so not used to performing to a crowd … and there’s not too many... that’s not my swag," he admitted. "I’m not sure how long I’m going to be able to do this tour, but make some noise for Blink-182 for including me anyway. This might be my last night, though. Let’s go!". Lil Wayne ended up confirming he was staying with Neck Deep and Blink-182 for the remainder of the tour, tweeting "I’m having too much fun with my bros blink-182."[38]

In February 2020, Ben's brother Seb officially joined the band as bassist, after having been involved behind the scenes since day one.

Artistry

Musical style and genre classification

Neck Deep's music is predominantly classified as , a genre marked by high-energy guitar riffs, driving drum patterns, and melodic vocal lines that emphasize accessibility and emotional directness. This classification aligns with their origins in the early pop punk scene, where they drew from punk rock's raw aggression tempered by pop's harmonic catchiness, as evident in debut releases featuring fast-paced tracks with gang vocals and progressions. While rooted in , the band's style incorporates alternative and influences, including repetitive riff structures and occasional atmospheric elements that evoke early 2000s emo aesthetics, particularly in mid-period albums where instrumentals softened to highlight introspective melodies. Reviewers have described their sound as evolving beyond "generic" pop punk conventions without fully abandoning them, blending punk's drive with broader rock experimentation to maintain genre fidelity amid revivalist trends. Genre classifications from music databases and critics consistently position Neck Deep as a flagship act in the pop punk resurgence, with their self-titled works reaffirming core stylistic hallmarks like taut, anthemic compositions despite sonic expansions into adjacent territories. This places them alongside contemporaries in a lineage emphasizing youthful and melodic immediacy, though some analyses note their polish as distinguishing them from rawer punk variants.

Evolution of sound

Neck Deep's early releases, including the EPs Rain in July (2012) and A History of Bad Decisions (2013), established a foundation in pop-punk characterized by heartfelt lyrics on relationships and large, anthemic riffs typical of the genre. Their debut album Wishful Thinking (2014) refined this into a blend of pop-punk and emo, featuring fast-paced drums, prominent guitar lines with a slight hardcore edge, and influences from bands like Blink-182 for punk energy and Taking Back Sunday for emotional intensity. The follow-up Life's Not Out to Get You (2015) amplified the elements with thunderous hooks, slashing guitar riffs, and furious drumming, delivering a more optimistic and melodic sound while retaining fast tempos and pop-influenced lyrics. This album solidified their appeal through infectious, earnest hooks that defined a generation of pop-punk listeners. By (2017), the band began diverging from pure toward and early 2000s influences, incorporating softer instrumentals, repetitive riffs, and introspective themes shaped by personal losses like the death of vocalist Ben Barlow's father. Tracks like "" exemplified this shift, prioritizing emotional depth over high-energy punk aggression. The Peace and the Panic laid groundwork for further experimentation in All Distortions Are Intentional (2020), where Neck Deep expanded into a broader palette drawing from (Nirvana, ), (Oasis), and (, ), featuring diverse structures such as spoken-word passages and narrative-driven songs within a conceptual "Sonderland" framework. This album marked a deliberate move away from genre constraints, blending residual with experimental elements to forge a distinctive identity. The self-titled album (2024) represented a partial return to roots, emphasizing fast-paced, guitar-driven energy, catchy choruses, and self-deprecating themes reminiscent of Life's Not Out to Get You, but produced in-house for a raw, hopeful edge. While retaining core vitality, it integrated subtle broader influences for freshness, reflecting matured songwriting without fully abandoning earlier experimentation.

Influences

Neck Deep's musical influences are rooted primarily in the genre of the late 1990s and early 2000s, with vocalist Ben Barlow identifying Blink-182 as his all-time favorite band for defining his early musical experiences and inspiring him to form a band. Barlow has similarly highlighted New Found Glory as a close second influence, emphasizing their stylistic ties to Blink-182 in shaping the band's energetic, melodic approach to songwriting and performance. These foundational acts contribute to Neck Deep's characteristic blend of catchy hooks, humorous undertones, and youthful themes evident across their discography. Beyond core pop-punk, Barlow cites folk musician Dallas Green (of City and Colour) as an idol whose acoustic songwriting techniques influenced his own folk-inspired projects and broader lyrical depth. Hip-hop elements from Eminem and The Notorious B.I.G. have impacted the band's rhythmic flow and narrative-driven lyrics, while Bring Me the Horizon's evolution from metalcore to mainstream success serves as a model for Neck Deep's career ambitions and genre experimentation. Canadian pop-punk band Sum 41 is also frequently noted as a key early influence, aligning with the group's nostalgic revival of 2000s punk-rock energy. In later releases, such as their 2020 sessions for All Distortions Are Intentional, the band incorporated broader rock elements including from Oasis and heavy riffs reminiscent of , expanding beyond strict confines while retaining core melodic structures. This diversification reflects Barlow's stated appreciation for bands like Blink-182 that balance seriousness with irreverence, allowing Neck Deep to evolve without abandoning their punk heritage.

Early works emphasize youthful heartbreak and , as in "A Part Of Me," which laments inaction in love with lines like "Now all I can do is lay in my room, fall asleep, dream of you, then wake up and do nothing about it." Songs such as "Losing Teeth" reflect on the bittersweet value of past experiences, noting "Though we complained about it all, was such a worthwhile waste of my time," capturing the transition from to adulthood. As the band's catalog evolved, lyrical content shifted toward deeper and relational complexity, mirroring fans' progression into their twenties and thirties. Albums like (2017) delve into perseverance amid existential doubt, exemplified by "Where Do We Go When We Go" pleading "Pain, pain go away," while urging a proactive stance against life's toll. Relationship dynamics mature from teenage infatuation, as in "" affirming mutual support through trials—"Cause you've had your own mountains to climb"—to acknowledging irreparable bonds in tracks like "," which depicts futile attempts to salvage a decaying akin to a wilting plant. Mental health emerges prominently in later releases, particularly All Distortions Are Intentional (2020), framed by the conceptual Sonderland narrative of protagonist Jett's isolation and detachment from a "pointless" world. Barlow draws from personal dreams and experiences to portray bipolar emotional swings in "Quarry," oscillating between love and suicidal ideation, and relational crises in "Empty House," underscoring love's endurance despite flaws. The self-titled album (2024) extends this with examinations of self-doubt in "Moody Weirdo" and tense familial bonds, questioning parental love's adequacy. Societal critiques appear sporadically, as in politically charged tracks like "Don't Wait," probing treatment of the marginalized, though personal narratives dominate. Overall, Barlow's writing prioritizes emotional authenticity over abstraction, evolving from diary-like confessions to narrative-driven reflections on purpose and recovery.

Critical praise and analyses

Critics have lauded Neck Deep's self-titled 2024 album as an "unabashed joy from start to finish," highlighting its return to energetic roots with incisive songwriting refined through prior experimentation. The record, rated 9/10 by reviewers, balances fast-paced anthems like "Dumbstruck Dumbf*ck" with introspective tracks, earning contention as one of 2024's strongest releases for its catchy execution akin to Blink-182 and . Similarly, (2017) drew praise for its multi-layered arrangements, offering substantial depth that unfolds across repeated listens. Lyrical analyses emphasize the band's intelligent handling of personal and societal themes, incorporating irreverent vocabulary such as "petrichor" and "solipsistic" to reframe pop-punk conventions around mental health, toxic masculinity, and relational cycles. In the self-titled effort, songs like "Heartbreak of the Century" confront depression and betrayal with raw candor, while "It Won’t Be Like This Forever" promotes resilience through "one small step every day," reflecting a maturation in emotional directness. All Distortions Are Intentional (2020) employs a conceptual "Sonderland" framework to probe "sonder"—the awareness of others' intricate lives—via tracks like "When You Know," which evoke nostalgic wistfulness, though executed with slick, arena-ready hooks. The band's sound evolution, from scrappier early works to smoother, pop-infused productions under collaborators like , underscores their ambition in expanding 's scope while retaining jubilant refrains and appeal. This progression has cemented Neck Deep as the UK's premier outfit, with angst-driven songs fueling intense live crowds and mosh pits.

Criticisms and debates over artistic direction

Neck Deep's artistic trajectory has drawn scrutiny for diverging from the band's foundational sound, particularly with the 2017 album , which incorporated more polished production and elements compared to the raw energy of their 2015 debut Life's Not a Paragraph. Fans and critics argued this shift prioritized mainstream accessibility over the genre's characteristic aggression, with some accusing the band of diluting their punk to chase broader appeal. This evolution sparked debates about whether such changes represented genuine maturation or a concessions to commercial pressures, as evidenced by fan discussions highlighting backlash against the album's "softer" tracks. The 2020 release All Distortions Are Intentional intensified these debates, as the band leaned further into experimental structures, electronic influences, and concept-driven narratives, moving away from guitar-centric riffs toward vocal-heavy arrangements and thematic abstraction. Reviewers criticized the for lacking the "typical Neck Deep features" that defined their early appeal, such as high-energy hooks and straightforward drive, resulting in an execution described as "all over the place" despite ambitious intent. Others contended it alienated the pop-punk audience by blurring genre boundaries too aggressively, with production that rendered guitar parts indistinct and overly reliant on heavy effects, evoking comparisons to bands criticized for insufficient punk credibility. Fan forums reflected this polarization, with some labeling the changes as "flawed" thematically and sonically, while defenders viewed the as resistance to necessary innovation. Proponents of the band's direction countered that these shifts demonstrate artistic growth, citing All Distortions Are Intentional as a "bold step" in creative evolution over their career, though detractors maintained it sacrificed cohesion for novelty, leading to "hit-or-miss" results that failed to fully integrate the experiments. By the self-titled 2024 album, debates persisted, with some observers noting a partial return to roots amid deluxe editions, yet the earlier pivots remained a flashpoint for discussions on balancing fan expectations with personal exploration.

Controversies

2015 sexual misconduct allegations

In August 2015, shortly after the release of Neck Deep's second studio album Life's Not Out to Get You on August 14, Neck Deep guitarist Lloyd Roberts faced online allegations of , specifically sending explicit messages and nude photographs to underage female fans under the age of 16, the UK's . The claims originated from a Reddit thread and posts around August 22, where accusers detailed interactions including requests for images from minors. Fil Thorpe-Evans was also named in some accusations of similar behavior, though these received less attention and did not result in his departure. On August 23, 2015, Neck Deep issued an official statement via acknowledging the allegations, stating they took them "very seriously" and emphasizing the need to protect fans, particularly younger ones who attended shows. The band announced Roberts had chosen to step down immediately to focus on his family, citing discomfort with his reputation being "sullied" by the claims, while affirming commitment to upcoming performances. Roberts initially responded on , urging anyone believing he had acted wrongly to contact police directly. Roberts proactively contacted to investigate the matter. On October 14, 2015, confirmed they had fully examined the complaints of explicit communications with an underage fan and closed the case with no further action, finding insufficient evidence for charges. In a statement released October 13, 2015, Roberts described the period as "horrendous," noting he had just become a father and the accusations caused significant emotional distress to his family; he expressed relief at the clearance, denied wrongdoing, and outlined plans to resume music production independently while wishing the band well. The incident led to Roberts' permanent replacement by guitarist Sam Bowden, with no subsequent legal proceedings or revived claims reported.
