How long have you both been Neck Deep fans?
Lydia: "When I started to subscribe to Kerrang!, you'd get a free T-shirt after so many issues, and the T-shirt was Neck Deep – so I thought I should get into them then! It was when I was 14, so about 10 years ago. After that I loved them!"
Victoria: "It was in COVID, a couple of years into lockdown, and then I went to the Download Pilot festival! In Bloom was the one song I wanted to hear and they started playing it [as we were setting up our tents]. Our husbands were setting up the tents and my friend and I just ran off."
What is it that keeps you listening to them?
Lydia: "Pop-punk! There's not many pop-punk bands now. If you like pop-punk you have to go for blink-182, Sum 41, these guys."
What would you say if your biggest pop-punk trait?
Victoria: "My husband is in a pop-punk tribute band – they're called Fat Lip! They're an everything cover band though, not just Sum 41. Also my husband has been going solo and doing pop-punk acoustic – and I'm so there for it.
Lydia: "I think I've just followed it from a young age, I've always been into it, and loved meeting people like Vic and her husband. We literally met getting pissed listening to pop-punk bands at a pub."
What other bands are you listening to right now?
Victoria: "State Champs!"
Lydia: "I'm a bit all over the place. I'm obsessed with every type of music, so at the minute I really love Wunderhorse. They're so good, I saw them supporting Sam Fender, I'm obsessed. I know it's not pop-punk but I love them. I'm seeing James Blunt next week!"
What are you both wearing?
Victoria: "Primark denim shorts, H&M T-shirt I've worn for about 10 years, an All Saints leather jacket, and my New Rocks."
Lydia: "The leather jacket I got from a motorbike show, I've got Dr. Martens on, the dress is from Shein and I think my bag is KILLSTAR."
