Neck Deep

Neck Deep are a Welsh rock band from Wrexham. They formed in 2012 when vocalist Ben Barlow met lead guitarist Lloyd Roberts. The pair posted a song online under the name Neck Deep. The song soon gained attention online, resulting in the addition of guitarist Matt West, drummer Dani Washington, and bassist Fil Thorpe-Evans. They released a pair of EPs, Rain in July (2012) and A History of Bad Decisions (2013), before signing with Hopeless in August 2013. Following the release of Wishful Thinking in January 2014, the band became a full-time project, with the band members leaving their jobs or dropping out of university courses. Shortly after the release of Life's Not out to Get You in August 2015, Roberts left the band due to allegations of sexual misconduct.
