NECK DEEP
ALL DISTORTIONS ARE INTENTIONAL (HOPELESS RECORDS)
With their fourth studio album, the band - Ben Barlow (vocals), Sam Bowden and Matt West (guitar), Seb Barlow (bass) and Dani Washington (drums) - don't want to reinvent the wheel, but rather expand on their own successful punk-pop sound concept.
Instead of focussing on writing the next hit single, the band's 12 new songs tell the story of a loner called Jett and the love of his life, Alice.
Although this is not a concept album, it is certainly an attempt to revive the old virtues of an album production.
The new work was produced by Matt Squire (Panic! At The Disco, Ariana Grande, One Direction and others).
With their unmistakable mix of Californian pop-punk and British understatement, Neck Deep stand for a unique musical blend.
