Wrexham pop-punks Neck Deep tackle mental health on their latest single, Sick Joke.
We're just days away from the release of Neck Deep's new album All Distortions Are Intentional now, and to celebrate its imminent arrival, the band have unveiled another ace single.
Their latest song goes by the name Sick Joke, and follows previous singles I Revolve (Around You), Fall, When You Know and Lowlife. As frontman Ben Barlow explains, the Wrexham pop-punk gang's newest effort "questions the fabric of reality whilst battling mental health".
"Jett contemplates whether life itself is even real, in fairly ethereal terms, due to the internal suffering he is experiencing," he shares. "Shredding solos, punchy rhythms and stomping drums drive the song along, and it sonically represents the more minor/ driven side of the record."

Of what fans can expect from record as a whole, Ben reveals: "Modern music is so much based around ‘the single’ and writing a record isn’t held in nearly the same regard as it used to be. All Distortions Are Intentional presents a whole story, where there is meaning from every angle of it. All of our records have their themes, but I wanted to create characters, scenes, a world, and have it mean something in the real world, too."
