Neck Deep's The Peace & The Panic tour in Seattle

Tours

Mar 2

The night started out with Speak Low. You may recognize the lead singer, Ryan Scott Graham from State Champs. The band's music is more soft and mellow but the crowd seemed to appreciate all the good vibes they bring. Their album Nearsighted came out this year (check out Enough) via Pure Noise Records. All in all, the band seems slightly out of place but still put on a great show.

Up next were UK natives Creeper. The band, who is originally from Southampton, is one that has been on my radar lately. Frontman Will Gould brought a ton of energy along with guitarist Ian Miles who seemed to be having an amazing time. The crowd seemed to be having an even better time by crowd surfing throughout the bands set and even starting a circle pit during their song Poison Pens. Overall an amazing set.

3rd on the roster was Canadian band Seaway. The band has been touring a lot recently and actually decided to drop their own headlining tour to jump on this one. The crowd definitely appreciated it - they had constant crowd surfers and the energy was amazing. You may recognize bass played Adam Shoji if you stopped by Neck Deep’s merch table at Warped Tour last year. The band performed 11 songs including a crowd favorite entitled Best Mistake before ending their set with Lula on The Beach. 10/10 would recommend.

Last, but certainly not least, was Neck Deep. The band came out at 10:40 and played until midnight - it was a long night filled with good music, crowd surfing, and moshing. They performed 17 songs that included a variety of their old mixed with their latest songs including fan favorites like Lime St., Kali Ma, and What Did You Expect. When they performed A Part Of Me, Hannah (from Creeper) came out and lended her voice to make the song come to life. During Wish You Were Here only Ben and Fil were on stage and told the crowd how much the song meant to both of them - they both lost theirs dads and friends.

The energy picked back up when the band played Don't Wait which originally features Sam Carter from Architects and is one of the heavier songs on their latest album. During the song the crowd started circle pits and began moshing and were overall having an amazing time. Seaways drummer even came out playing the guitar! The last song they played, Where Do We Go When We Go, Ben hoped into the crowd and ended the night on a high note.

Neck Deep released The Peace & The Panic towards the end of last year (you can read our review here) and it's one of their best. Be sure to buy it on iTunes or stream it on Spotify!
