gt125 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Neck deep posted earlier today that they were making a 7" split with their touring buddies Knuckle Puck. The Neck Deep side features growing pains and crushing grief (no remedy) whereas the Knuckle Puck side features two new songs from Knuckle Puck that are yet to be released. The split is due to be released on the 25th February and is strictly limited to 500 copies worldwide. US copies will be on sale at : http://badtimingrecords.limitedrun.com/ & UK copies at : http://banquetrecords.com/ What are your thoughts on this split? Good or bad? Personally, I'm a little disappointed that Neck Deep have chosen the two most heard songs from Wishful Thinking instead of making two new songs, but hey ho. Guess they can't be writing and producing new material all the time. UPDATE: The Banquet Records site says there is 144 copies left. Whether this means Banquet Records only have 144 copies left or there is only 144 out of the 500 copies left, I'm not too sure. But either way if you want to get your hands on this, I'd say act quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YesPlease Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Is the page for pre-ordering the split on Bad Timing working for anyone else? I just get a blank screen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aidan14 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Just picked this up and I agree a bit disappointing that ND put the two most known songs from Wishful Thinking but hey, Knuckle Puck on vinyl is worth it for me! gt125 and matthewxbrown 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saint Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 You want two new songs from Neck Deep when they just released a full length? I'm picking this up for Knuckle Puck. woah_dood 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt125 Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 i'm debating whether to pick this up or not Well the Banquet Records store says there is 152 copies left, so I'm not sure if this means 152 out of the 500 available worldwide or just the amount that Banquet Records have been given, but if you want it I'd suggest move fast. They seem fairly limited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt125 Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 You want two new songs from Neck Deep when they just released a full length? That's why I'm not entirely let down by the fact they've not added any new songs, it's more the fact that they've chose the two most heard of ones. I think it would have been better if they chose songs off the album that weren't released as singles beforehand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knuckle puck is mostly the reason I bought it, but hey, I can settle for the Neck Deep songs too. At least they're not bad songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Wishful Thinking" let me down big time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amnorth Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 It just seems kinda silly to rerelease those two songs on a split. Don't they have any bsides from the album sessions they could use? Either way I'll probably get a tour copy matthewxbrown 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt125 Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Those two songs are the best on the album in my opinion. "Wishful Thinking" let me down big time. Each to their own. Admittedly, not all of the songs on Wishful Thinking have been as catchy as songs off Rain in July and a History of bad decisions. I'm with you on the two singles being some of the best songs on the album, but Zoltar speaks and Say what you want were songs that stood out for me on that album too. But, this is what happens when bands get signed. They change their tune a little bit. For Neck Deep to still mostly stay with their current sound is good, because I'll be honest when I heard they were signed by Hopeless Records, I was a little concerned Hopeless would try to mold their sound into some All time low standard garbage.

They chose the two songs out of wishful thinking that everyone has heard already. Why would you get excited about songs you've already heard so many times?

Brevity38 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Ordered. I'll be at the Walnut Creek show on March 7th so if anyone wants me to pick them up a tour copy, let me know and I'll be happy to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacooper Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Just listened to Knuckle Puck for the first time and I dig it. Bought this originally for the Neck Deep stuff even though it's already stuff I have but I think I'll like the KP stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rippinchicken Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Only decision to really consider is ordering from Bad Timing or Banquet... Preference i guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saint Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Only decision to really consider is ordering from Bad Timing or Banquet... Preference i guess? Or cost. Banquet will be more with international shipping and conversion rates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brevity38 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Pretty sure its almost sold out on Bad Timing's website, the band and Hopeless' tweeted about it. If you want this better order it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised too. I was going to wait until tomorrow, but glad i didn't now ha. You should message Brevity38 and ask about a tour copy if no one picked up 2.
