UK pop-punk leaders Neck Deep have treated fans to a new single called ‘Take Me With You’.
As self-confessed “UFO heads”, the track sees the Welsh quartet reach out to extraterrestrial beings. Musically, ‘Tale Me With You’ captures the band’s familiar vibrant style of pop-punk.
“‘Take Me With You’ is one of those songs where I had the title first,” shares frontman Ben Barlow. “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.”
“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.”

The release of ‘Take Me With You’ coincides with the news that Neck Deep will play their biggest headline UK show next year at London’s Alexandra Palace. It is scheduled to take place on March 28th, 2024.

But now – it’s our turn, for our biggest ever headline show. I’m expecting it to be the best Neck Deep show ever, and you wouldn’t wanna miss that would ya?,” said Neck Deep vocalist Ben Barlow.
