I’ll tell you why Justin: big hooks, good vibes, a marriage of two huge genres that historically tend to compete with each other. For a lot of people that like classic rock, thrash metal, metalcore, punk. All of the rich and varied genres of rock music. Pop punk is the sub-genre that generates that triumphant, anthemic, party music for a significant chunk of this crowd. It’s a celebration of the wall of sound that full bands produce. It’s fun and easy to sing along to, like a lot of pop music, but with the stipulation that power chords and a full kit kick you through the song while you do.

The new drummer is great! You can tell the band got upgraded!

The godfathers of pop punk are the Descendents who formed in 1979 and dropped their massively influential album “Milo Goes to College” in 1981 and came up with bands like Black Flag. And even though they’re my favorite punk band, I would argue that The Ramones chronologically probably have them beat for adding a sense of pop melody to punk music. So my point is, you’re not too old for pop punk. It’s been around since the late 70s, even if the name “pop punk” didn’t exist yet.

Agree! I discovered Neck Deep when I went to Chicago's Riot Fest in 2019 to see the Violent Femmes. It was ND's former drummer Dani's drumming that caught my attention.

Watch a lot of your videos and your ability to hear a tune and process it into guitar is really brilliant. You have such a vast knowledge of music and are such a talented man! Keep up the great vids.

From my hometown. Ben went to same school as my daughter. She is a fan ❤

This band is holding the pop punk flag right now. Their new drummer is an absolute machine. Their previous drummer, Dani, was also incredible, but Powlesy is just something else. Seeing him perform live is quite something. He's so tuned in and precise. Magical. Love your work, Mr. Hawkins.

Thanks for reviewing a pop punk band! I would love for more in the future

I saw them for the first time in the states back in 2015 or 2016 and there stage was facing the summer sun. Ben commented how unbearably hot it was. Said, “The sun is a f*cking laser beam” 😂

The Clash included Reggae and Ska influences as well so its always been something of a melting pot.

I love the shout out you give Powell (drummer) on this vid! This album from start to finish has some of the best drums from them since he's taken over.

Yeah, nice and light pop punk. It probably makes people happy hearing this live at a party or concert because it's danceable and reminds them of something familiar they've heard before. 🙃

the why is because it sells, and for a musician to be able to make a living from their career choice to a successful degree must be hugely satisfying, to be able to say 'we made it'.

Neck Deep are top! “Life’s Not Out to Get You” and “Wishful Thinking” are so goooooood

Your videos are so soothing!! Loving all your comments on the smile. Would you ever consider a vid on everything everything?? I would love to hear your analysis 😊 all the best.

I think like some people pointed out there's a familiarity or nostalgic feel to it. First thing I thought was that it reminded me a bit of Jimmy Eat World - The Middle. It doesn't really appeal to me (probably because I'm not big on pop in general), but each to their own. And yeah, Perth weather. A good chunk of desert goes through Western Australia. It's not fun, I remember. I'm in Melbourne - notoriously unpredictable weather, but much cooler overall. And I'll be at your show tomorrow night, can't wait! As a side note, I have an extra ticket if anyone's interested.

My interpretation is its punk in lyrical style and the instruments used, but often has the more strictly structure and chord progressions like pop music... so it strikes a chord with both audiences, heavy/relatable lyrics and a happy/fun sound

As the trend with a lot of Pop Punk bands, earlier stuff ends to be more angtsy and rage filled, and the older they get the more their songs are just a bunch of fun

A lot of the lyrics in pop punk are hugely relatable for many people because the songwriters in these bands have been through similar shit in their lives to the rest of us, so there's an emotional connection that resonates with the audience. The music is generally pretty basic and predictable compared to other rock sub-genres and that's how it should be - we already know what to expect and we enjoy that sort of familiar, reliable comfort. It's fun, energetic, infectious, inclusive, vulnerable, earnest, harmless, tasteful and we live for it!

GREAT SHIRT! But then again, all shirts look good on you because you’re so damn pretty! 😻💕💋

Totally right about a great drummer elevating this sort of music from blah to good.

Been listening to these dudes since probably 2014, currently one of most listened to over the last 10 years, they share playtime with Zeppelin, Floyd, Greenday and Blink everyday I’m at work, I’m 45, there’s an emotional connection I have with these bands, but hey, my friends don’t like any of it, still I hope they don’t stop recording, I’ll be there until they change so much I don’t enjoy it.

I think the answer to why? is simple its just fun and feels good ! right?! love your commentary to this I enjoy the honesty and sincerity !

Justin, I'm fast approaching 50 and love Pop Punk. Yes even the new stuff. It's a large umbrella genre, not only this stuff but also some emo, easycore, post-hardcore, actual punk and metal are included. Neck Deep's 'The Peace and the Panic' is considered a modern classic of the genre. You should listen to my favourite song by them, Wish You Were Here, it's so melancholic it brings a tear to my eye. Another great song by them is called In Bloom. I love Pop Punk because precisely because of the clash - the harshness and the sweetness, there's so much misery in the world it brings a burst of joy into peoples lifes. Also it gets teens into playing guitar, which in my book, the world needs more of.

It's the kind of music that you make memories to in your young teens/early 20's, simple as that imo

Pop punk is kind of like the darkness but consistently strong melody across all songs and records

I saw you at Liverpool University 20 odd years ago. First gig was cancelled as we waited for you to come on stage as you were ill. The rescheduled gig was worth the wait. Good gig in Freo last night. Really enjoyed it. Despite the heat. You must be exhausted today. Travel safe

If it doesn't feel punk enough, then it's power pop.

I really need "there's a drum set in the cafeteherriah" for a ringtone. For whatever reason it's amazingly funny. 😄

I like neck deep. I saw them years ago in New Orleans, and it was a really fun show.

Here's to them I can't do any of it. Ahh the part where I wonder which settings are marked "soundsimilar" ? I swear I have been hearing this sound over and over to the point that I hope to never , ever, ever ever hear it again.

Thought I'd extend my gratitude for taking on the role of Rock Dad for us all and heavily berating the phone toting degenerates who frequently ruin The Moment. These kids gotta learn somehow.

Back 20 years to early 00's. Fall out boy, Good Charlotte, Blink 182 etc etc etc. Thought this genre was dead but got to admit, it is catchy upbeat stuff, and makes a pleasant change from the trash on the radio these days.

In fairness, the whole album is brilliant. Neck Deep just know how to write a good song without overcomplicating it.

Is 'angst" the word you were thinking of? It's OK this song, not really my cup of tea in regard to punk or pop punk. I am a thousand years old though, so the style of punk I enjoy is very different, including the pop punk I enjoy. They definitely have a Blink influence in there. As for Summer in Australia, yes, it's the worst. My mood usually goes bad in November and stays that way until March. We've had two heatwaves here (in Brisbane) and a cyclone up north and non stop rain for a month. It's slightly better now, so hopefully it will be nice when you get here next week. See you then! PS: Speaking of punk/hardcore and summer, thee is a Canadian band called "Fucked Up" who have song called "I Hate Summer" and it swims around my head from Nov-March.

Pop punk has existed for 40s. Neck Deep has played festivals you’ve played at. I’m surprised you’re not aware. The term “pop punk” was used because Descendents were equally as influenced by The Beach Boys as they were by the Ramones during a period when hardcore was established as the punk norm (the ‘80s). Check out The Wonder Years. They were considered the leaders of the genre in the early 2010s and are an excellent live band.
