Philadelphia’s punk rock takeover on Saturday, February 17, was all Neck Deep’s doing. The Welsh pop punk band arrived at Franklin Music Hall with DRAIN, Bearings, and Higher Power in tow – each more energetic and ruckus-causing than the last (in the best way imaginable).
It hasn’t been long since Neck Deep dropped one of their best albums in a while, January’s self-titled release, and began said self-titled era with our in-depth cover story. Chatting about the record, having that personal and musical insight, and taking that into their sold-out live show only elevated the experience. With a 17-song setlist, three-song encore, and our very own Jake Morell in the pit (both photo and mosh), it was a memorable night. The crowd feeds off the pop punk spontaneity, relishes in their accented aggression, and bounces to the mighty sounds of their five-LP discography like there is no tomorrow – always.
