Neck Deep have given us another taste of their new music plans with latest single ‘Take Me With You’.
With an extraterrestrial-theme, frontman Ben Barlow explained “‘Take Me With You’ is one of those songs where I had the title first. Literally as simple as – we should write a song about aliens called Take Me With You. So conceptually and lyrically it was pretty straightforward. A few of us in the band are big UFO heads, particularly Seb (Barlow, bass), so we had a lot of fun writing this one.“
He continues “As always there’s a slight social commentary, ultimately I’d rather be (hypothetically) abducted by aliens than stick round on this ‘hellish sack of burning trash’. I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t a slight nod to Blink 182’s ‘Aliens Exist’ too, but you can blame Tom for infecting my fragile mind at a young age and then going and busting the UFO world wide open! It’s a little bit of fun before we come at people with the more meaningful stuff a little later down the line.”

Plus, the band have just announced a huge headline show at London’s Alexandra Palace, set to take place on March 28, 2024. Tickets will go on sale this Friday, August 11, at 10am.
The band will also play a series of smaller shows this year celebrating 10 years of their ‘Rain In July’ EP.
