Neck Deep Smash Out New Single ‘STFU’

---

Wrexham pop punk four piece Neck Deep have returned with their huge new single ‘STFU’.

The new track is their first new music in two years following 2020’s UK Top 5 album ‘All Distortions Are Intentional’. ‘STFU’ also marks a return to self-releasing their work for the first time in a decade (Since the band’s original demos).

Andrew Wade – Who last worked with the band on 2015’s ‘Life’s Not Out To Get You’ – recorded the new single and describe the thumping pop-punk song as “somewhat of a return to our roots, and a return to what we do best.”

Singer Ben Barlow added “As the world was falling apart at the time, and only seems to have worsened recently, it felt right to satirise the decline of society in typical punk fashion. Looking at the world through a screen and being lured into the impending sense of doom that’s overcome us all.”

The band’s ability to find humour in challenging times, came in handy when their planned video shoot for the song with director, Max Moore, hung in the balance. What should have been a three hour flight to Louisville ended up as “three cancelled flights, eight hours in an airport, a $5000 taxi, a magical stray dog with a taste for gas station hot dogs and a twelve hour drive,” Barlow explains. “Don’t ever say we haven’t busted our asses for this! And don’t tell me I look tired in the video!” he laughs.

The band are set to appear at this year’s Slam Dunk Festival, set to take place on the 3rd and 4th of June.
