United Kingdom’s Neck Deep have won the award for Best Live Band, presented by Audio-Technica, at the 2016 Alternative Press Music Awards!

After a fan vote, the group won against Attila, Beartooth, Issues, Motionless In White and Slipknot. This is their first time taking home a Skully!

“This is crazy, dude,” said frontman Ben Barlow. “Genuinely though, playing live music together is… I don’t know how the fuck we got this after Babymetal. If you try hard and focus, you can do whatever you want.”

Neck Deep headlined a world tour this year with support from State Champs and Knuckle Puck that sold out multiple dates on its run.
