Earlier in the year, we caught up with Neck Deeps Ben Barlow to get an update on album number four, with the frontman telling Kerrang! that he initially felt a lot of pressure going into the new record, but things have since calmeddown.

Oh, Im much more confident now! the vocalist said. Weve actually written a lot. While we were doing the main bulk of the touring for The Peace And The Panic, we didnt want to be in album mode before that was all done. Youre not always ready for that, and you have to put yourself in a creative space or get yourself in the right mindset. We had such an experience recording The Peace And The Panic it was born in a pressure cooker, pretty much that we were just like, Lets not think about the album lets think about it when everyone has ideas to put forward. That time came and everyone was writing really good shit (laughs). We started compiling everything we had two or three months ago, and were making very good progress. Its still gonna be a while off, because we want to make sure that its the absolute best it can be, but theres plenty of good shit floatingaround!

As for where Neck Deep are going musically? Things are probably going to be a bit different a move inspired by both outside music that the band have been listening to, and also their general ambitions to grow evenmore.

Everyones on the same page: that it needs to be a little different, and its a culmination of where we feel like we can progress as a band, as well as taking inspiration from music that we listen to, Ben explained. I think youd be surprised by some of the influences and the things that weve been writing! But its still gonna be a Neck Deep record; were not going to be doing anything mind-blowingly crazy, because thats just not us. Id love to make a fucking crazy prog-rock record or some shit like that, but thats not Neck Deep, you know? As long as that core thing that makes it us is there, thats the most important thing. On this one its definitely there were not going to stray super far away, but its a good stepforward.
