“We\u2019re going to take up to a year to write it”<\/em> – Ben Barlow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

It’s about that time, isn’t it? It’s coming up on two years since Neck Deep<\/strong> released ‘The Peace And The Panic’, and it’s no secret that they’re working on a follow-up album already. <\/p>\n

Neck Deep frontman Ben Barlow caught up with Press by Bad Seed<\/a> to reflect on the success of ‘The Peace And The Panic’, and what the future direction of Neck Deep will be.<\/p>\n

“The record [‘The Peace And The Panic’] really took us to a new place and maybe proved a point to a few people that we could actually write a diverse record and weren\u2019t just a one trick pony pop punk band,”<\/em> he shared. “From here, I think we\u2019ve set ourselves up to do whatever we what, or at least expand our horizons a bit. It could\u2019ve been a risky record for us to make, but it actually turned out to be the record we needed to make. After a Europe and UK run in February, it\u2019s pretty much fourth album time.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Speaking on how the nexr album is shaping up, Ben shared “It\u2019s fucking terrifying when you have nothing done for it and you don\u2019t know how things are going to come out sounding. I\u2019ve sat at home and I\u2019ve written stuff but I rely on the other guys a lot to bring stuff forward and I just don\u2019t know what everyone else is writing yet. We\u2019re going to take our time with this record, essentially. We\u2019re going to take up to a year to write it, if it happens sooner then cool, if it happens later then that\u2019s fine too. We\u2019re putting no pressure on ourselves with it.<\/em><\/p>\n

He continued “Until you get into it and you start actually getting a sense of what the record is going to be, what it\u2019s going to be about and how it\u2019s going to sound, it\u2019s fucking terrifying. I\u2019m confident that we\u2019ll expand in the right way. After thinking about it constantly, I think I\u2019ve got a solid idea of where I want it to go and where I think we need to go with it. It\u2019s a matter of actually putting that together but we\u2019ve got plenty of time and we\u2019re not stressing ourselves with it. We\u2019ve definitely done that in the past, where we\u2019ve written records under pressure. Whereas this time, we\u2019re going to chill out and not put so much pressure on ourselves.”<\/em><\/p>\n

And where are they recording the follow up to ‘The Peace And The Panic’? “Hopefully it might be the first record in a good while that we end up recording in the UK. Normally we end up getting shipped off to America but I think being in the UK will be cool. I think we\u2019ve always been inspired by the places that we end up recording, so if we can record it at home, I think it\u2019ll definitely add something to it. By being in the UK and closer to home, it\u2019ll allow us some space and time.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Neck Deep still have an upcoming appearance at Slam Dunk next month to knock over before they hit the studio though – Slam Dunk 2019 will take place on May 25 in Leeds and May 26 in Hatfield, with tickets available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
