Neck Deep Live Review

Neck Deep
January 30th, 2015


Neck Deep played an unbelievably flawless set in Glasgow on January 30th at The Garage. They give 110% throughout the whole night and it really showed.


Lets start from the beginning of the night, Canadian natives Seaway started the night and they kicked off what was potentially the best pop-punk gig I've personally ever been to. 

The energy these guys put into their performance from the minute they stepped onto the stage was fantastic and they really got the crowd into a good mind set in peroration for what the rest of the night had in store for them. 

Next on stage all the way from the other side of the world, Australia's amazing Trophy Eyes. These guys are definitely ones to watch, if you've listened to their album already you'll know that they have excellently composed songs however they are just as amazing live. These guys had the crowd jumping from the barrier to the back of the room for their entire set and the crowd loved every moment. It was these guys that really started the wave of crowd surfers that just got crazier as the night went on. If you've not heard their album yet go check it out, they're well worth it! 

Direct support on this Neck Deep tour came from Chicago lads Knuckle Puck. These guys are something else on stage, their energy is amazing and the crowd were really feeding off it during their set. It's been a while since I've been to a gig where there is constantly crowd surfers coming over the barrier non-stop for a bands entire set, although I really shouldn't be surprised with Knuckle Puck's fast passed set and super energetic delivery of each and every singe song that they performed. Everyone in the room really seemed to love what they were watching and listening to. 

The headliners, the guys everyone was there to see Neck Deep! Playing a variety of songs from both EP's "A History Of Bad Decisions" & "Rain In July" as well as songs off their album "Wishful Thinking". I've personally seen these guys live a couple of times now and they seem to keep getting better and better. The venue was prepared for the crowd to go wild and photographers were warned before the guys come on that they might need to leave the pit if there were too many crowd surfers, however we were lucky that the brunt of crowd surfers came over after the first three songs. Neck Deep have an fantastic presence onstage and they have a phenomenal amount of energy, everyone in the room was in complete awe of them. During their song "A Part Of Me" Ben (singer) told everyone to take their phones out and put their torches on and with that brought a beautiful scene to look at as everyone stood with phones out singing along to the song. 

Going to see a Neck Deep headliner is definitely recommended if you're looking for a night full of amazing music and laughs with the band as their banter in stage is great.
