Live review: Neck Deep, Alexandra Palace
Nice palace, weāll take it: Neck Deep triumph at Ally Pally mega-showā¦
Neck Deep have announced several intimate shows in celebration of their debut 2013 compilation Rain In July / A History Of Bad Decisions.
Neck Deep have announced four shows in celebration of the 10th anniversary of Rain In July and A History Of Bad Decisions.
The Wrexham pop-punks will be throwing things back to 2013 for their upcoming August dates, which they tease could possibly be the last-ever time theyāll be honouring their debut compilation. And, to make it even more special, theyāll be joined by the mighty Higher Power for the whole celebration.
āUK! The wait is finally over and youāre up next for the (final?) Rain In July anniversary shows!ā Neck Deep announce.
Catch the 10 years of Rain In July shows at the following:
August
16 Birmingham The Asylum
17 Manchester Rebellion
18 London The Dome
19 London The Dome
Hopefully thereāll be even more to come from Neck Deep in 2023, with frontman Ben Barlow telling us back in February of where things were at in terms of a new album: āItās coming along well! Weāve got a damn sight more of it written than people have heard, and itās probably further along than people think. But weāre doing this record a little differently than we have done in the past. So instead of going and doing a full record in four-to-six weeks, and just being there and smashing it out, weāre kind of doing it in short little bursts out in LA, where weāre there for two weeks at a time trying to get a handful of songs, and sitting with those for a bit.
āThereās always a thing of six months after a record is out the artist is sat there going, āWe shouldāve changed that, we shouldāve done thatā¦ā Weāre trying to alleviate that as much as possible, and give ourselves time to sit with the songs and see how they feel after a month. So while a lot of itās done, weāre taking our time with it to just make sure that itās the best we can be. Iām not gonna give any timelines here, but there will be pretty steady releases leading up to it!ā
