Previously, Neck Deep dropped two b-sides from their album The Peace And The Panic onto a mini EP, cleverly titled The Peace And The B Sides.
Neck Deep released two EPs before signing with Hopeless Records in 2013. They released their debut album, Wishful Thinking the following year. The Peace And The Panic was the highly anticipated follow-up to their second full-length album Life’s Not Out To Get You.
Since The Peace And The Panic, Neck Deep released a cover of “Torn” by Natalie Imbruglia for Songs That Saved My Life via Hopeless Records. They also released a music video for their track “She’s A God,” and a cover of blink-182‘s “Don’t Tell Me It’s Over.”
The pop-punk band spent most of 2019 opening for blink-182 and Lil Wayne on their North American tour. Neck Deep took to Instagram to announce that they will be taking the rest of 2019 off, they will be back in 2020 and will be playing at Rock For People.
Exactly what Sonderland is, we hope to find out very soon. Tell us your thoughts in the comments below!
