Description

Neck Deep’s Ben Barlow joins Kyle Meredith to talk about the band’s new self-titled album. The frontman discusses taking their sound “back to their roots” and making the tough decision to scrap the work they had been doing halfway in Los Angeles, and, instead, doing a self-produced LP back home in Wales, as well as the plan to purposefully try to make a pure pop-punk album and what that means in the scope of their catalog. Barlow goes on to talk about including a Beatles sendup in the single “Heartbreak of the Century,” the trick to getting political songs right, as in the case of their track “We Need More Bricks,” and documenting the discovery of aliens in “Take Me With You”.Listen to Neck Deep’s Ben Barlow chat about all this and more in the new episode or watch it on YouTube.
