U.K. pop-punk staples Neck Deep dropped the deluxe version of their self-titled record through Hopeless Records. Neck Deep (The Dumbfuck Edition) arrives with four extra tracks, updated artwork, and the first time fan favorites “STFU” and “You Should See Me Now” will appear on vinyl. The package also includes two live cuts recorded on tour.
Frontman Ben Barlow shared how the deluxe release came together:
“The self-titled deluxe edition came about after deciding that our song ‘STFU’ needed a home. It never got a vinyl release and it always felt like it could’ve been on the record, but for whatever reason it never made it on. Alongside that we also had ‘You Should See Me Now’ which was always a contender for the record but didn’t quite feel complete enough to release at the time. Once we finished that song, and STFU had a place, we wrangled some of the most recent live performances from our EU tour with Sum 41 and put those on for good measure too. We crammed as much as we physically could into one vinyl and got our friend Evan Weselmann to rework his original artwork, and it may actually be a little cooler than the original! It’s our first ever ‘deluxe’ edition of the record and it’s given us something cool to put out while we work on other stuff and tour ourselves silly.”
Released last year, the band’s self-titled album distilled everything Neck Deep has built across their career. From the high energy punch of “Dumbstruck, Dumbf**k” and “Sort Yourself Out” to the reflective “They May Not Mean To (But They Do),” the record showed a group confident in their voice and willing to push every corner of their sound.
Currently on the road with The Story So Far, the band will be hitting cities across North America including Detroit, Brooklyn, Denver, Orlando, Cleveland, and Philadelphia. Origami Angel and Pain Of Truth are also joining the run.
