Neck Deep - We Need More Bricks (Hopeless Records)

English:CD-review
  Van Muylem    18 november 2023

UK-rock band Neck Deep have shared their newest single “We Need More Bricks” from their upcoming self-titled album, Neck Deep, via Hopeless Records. An inspiring politically charged anthem, “We Need More Bricks” hits with explosive instrumentals and thought-provoking lyrics that hopefully leave listeners energized to never stop fighting for what is right.  


‘We Need More Bricks is, in my opinion, Neck Deep at their political best,” shares vocalist Ben Barlow“Touching on everything from the monarchy, immigration, protest laws and international wars. We find ourselves at a cross section in the zeitgeist where bricks could be used to build something, or to be destructive. I’m calling on punks and those that want to make a difference, to do so. As well as being our most poignant political track to date, it also features my favourite riff/ breakdown we’ve ever written, with a mosh call that, I hope, makes the listener think about their role in the world, and to speak up, take action on the many injustices the world faces today. I’m looking forward to playing this one live the most of any track on the record. If this one doesn’t get you moving then maybe Jason Derulo is more up your street.”

One thing is for sure - besides the excellent lirycs - It's the kind of song that will hang out inside your head for a while and absolutely deserves a shot! Check out the clip/track underneath:
