Last week Neck Deep announced they would be releasing their second album, ‘Life’s Not Out To Get You’, on August 14th via Hopeless Records. Now the Wrexham pop punks have released their new video for ‘Can’t Kick Up The Roots’.The track sees the band reminiscing about their hometown as. vocalist Ben Barlow explains:
“’Can’t Kick Up The Roots’ is about my hometown of Wrexham in North Wales. At the time of writing it we had been away for 3 months in America, so home was very much on our minds. On one level it’s kinda all about how much our hometown sucks – we really don’t come from anywhere glamorous, quite the opposite in fact – but by the same token, that’s what makes it ours. Wrexham has the strangest charm, where we kinda take pride in the shittyness around us, and ‘…Roots’ is about our love for where we come from in spite of its flaws. We’ve travelled all around the world for the past two years, seen some amazing things, and yet we’re still super happy to come home to where we grew up.”
