NECK DEEP with State Champs

UK rock band NECK DEEP today announce their return to Australia with THE DUMBSTRUCK DUMBF!*K TOUR confirmed for April 2025. The boys will kick off the tour on April 21 at Metropolis in Fremantle before heading to ADELAIDE’s HINDLEY ST MUSIC HALL, Sydney’s Roundhouse, Melbourne's Festival Hall and concluding at Brisbane's Fortitude Music Hall. NECK DEEP will be heading around the country promoting their recently released self-titled album "NECK DEEP", out now on Hopeless Records. Joining them for all dates will be special guests, Albany New York pop punk act STATE CHAMPS.  Full tour details below.  In the little over a decade since NECK DEEP formed in the Barlow brothers’ spare room in Wrexham, Wales, a lot has changed. From the scrappy, naively hopeful beginnings that define the starting of so many teenage bands, the pop-punks have gone on to be one of British Rock music’s most successful global exports in recent memory: top 5 records in both the US and UK, global touring, viral hits and over a billion streams just some of the fruits of ten years spent mastering their craft. For the new self-titled record, the band, completed by Ben’s older brother and bassist Seb, guitarists Matt West and Sam Bowden and drummer Matt Powles, took ‘doing their own thing’ – and only their own thing – to the next level. Eschewing a keen list of collaborators and producers eager to work with one of rock’s hottest properties and choosing, instead, to write and record in their own warehouse space, mere miles from where they grew up. Old school, just like it used to be. From the bouncing bombast of “DUMBSTRUCK, DUMBF*CK" and the ripping intensity of “SORT YOURSELF OUT”, to the poetic introspection of “THEY DON’T MEAN TO (BUT THEY DO)”, _Neck Deep _is an album that boasts a song for almost any occasion.
