UK pop-punkers Neck Deep have just announced that they will be releasing their next single, and music video, “Heartbreak of the Century,” on February 14th via Hopeless Records.
Explaining a little bit about the song ahead of it’s release, Neck Deep vocalist Ben Barlow says , “[It’s] a classic sounding Neck Deep song, catchy, angsty, pace, powerful and a little bit pathetic!”
He continues, “We took the idea of ‘the heartbreak of the century’ and imagined if you could actually win an award for that. So there we had it- a shitty Oscar’s, where we won the heartbreak of the century award. We wanted the video to feel classic/ nostalgic, something that was entertaining to watch rather than your usual. It features some of our best (worst) acting to date and is one of our favorite videos we’ve ever done.”
Fans can pre-save the new song here, and watch a trailer for “Heartbreak of the Century” below.
“Heartbreak Of The Century” follows up the band’s 2022 single “STFU,” which was filled with heavyguitar riffs and driving drum fills. The track feels like a callback to the band’s early days, whilst still pushing them in a new and exciting direction right into “Heartbreak Of The Century”. The track was recorded with Andrew Wade, who previously worked with the band on 2015’s critically acclaimed album, Life’s Not Out To Get You.
