UK pop-punk kings, Neck Deep, have today released a brand new single, ‘Take Me With You’, and announced their biggest UK headline show to date at London’s Alexandra Palace.
“‘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.”
As for the band’s Alexandra Palace announcement, which sees the band play the London venue on March 28th 2024, Ben says, “it’s been a long time coming but we’re stoked to be finally headlining Ally Pally! We’ve supported a few times there and always loved the venue. 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?”
