It's been almost two years since Welsh pop punks Neck Deep released their last album, The Peace and the Panic, which proved to be their most successful release to date and firmly positioned them in the upper tier of modern British rock. The band have just dropped a brand new single entitled 'She's a God', so I thought this would be a good opportunity to write my first track review for Sound Mouth.
Neck Deep have never been the most revolutionary or experimental band in their genre, so it should be unsurprising that 'She's a God' sees the band stick with the sugary-sweet pop punk sound that put them on the map. However, this lack of innovation isn't necessary a bad thing.
The track is very much in the vein of 'In Bloom', the breakout single from The Peace and the Panic, with its hooky, pop-friendly chorus and sentimental lyrics being the defining features. The band obviously know their strengths and play to them, while Ben Barlow's enthusiastic vocal delivery and Dani Washington's strong drumming inject extra energy into the track and prevent it from becoming easily-forgettable.
Overall, 'She's a God' is a fun, anthemic pop-punk track which will brighten any summer playlist, although it probably isn't going to make new fans out of anyone previously averse to the Neck Deep sound. However, existing fans will no-doubt be satisfied with this first taste of new material and I'm definitely on board for a new Neck Deep record sometime in 2019.
Be sure to check back here on Sound Mouth this weekend for my Weekly Rock Chart Recap, where Neck Deep may well make an appearance given the streams this new track has been racking up. Until then, thanks for reading and have a great day!
