Welsh Pop-Punk legends Neck Deep have announced their upcoming self-titled album is set for release on 19 January 2024, via Hopeless Records.

The new album encompasses everything Neck Deep have excelled at across their career, enhanced and dialled to eleven. From the bouncing bombast of "Dumbstruck, Dumbf**k" and the ripping intensity of "Sort Yourself Out", to the poetic introspection of "They Don't Mean To (But They Do)", it's an album that boasts a song for almost any occasion.

About the new record vocalist Ben Barlow said:

“We're so stoked to announce our new self made, self titled record. With a return to roots approach, we made this record ourselves at our warehouse in North Wales, with Seb at the helm, and the rest of us over his shoulder, like it was at the start.”

Alongside the announcement, Neck Deep have shared their newest single "It Won't Be Like This Forever." The track is a hopeful and uplifting anthem about overcoming difficult times and finding love and support. The accompanying music video features the band performing in a garage, with creative symbolism of paper airplanes representing the bridge between distant hearts.

On the new track “It Won't Be Like This Forever” Barlow said:

“It Won't Be Like This Forever' came around really easily and naturally. 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. 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!”

Neck Deep recently announced a headlining performance at the legendary Alexandra Palace in London on 28 March 2024.

The band has come a long way since their humble beginnings in a spare room in Wrexham, Wales. With over a billion streams and top 5 records in both the US and UK, Neck Deep have become one of British rock music's most successful global exports in recent memory.

Their self-titled album is a return to form for the band, with a raw and energetic sound that captures their essence as a live act. It's an album that fans of Neck Deep's previous work will love, and it's sure to win over new fans as well.

Neck Deep are one of the most exciting bands in rock music today, and their self-titled album is one of the most anticipated releases of 2024.
