"Bringing Irish Punk past The Pogues… at last, a worthy contender for the Celtic punk crown is born!"

Taking their lead, both musically & ideologically, from the other mighty London rebel bands - The Pagues and The Clash - NECK 'carry the torch' a stage further with their own, unique London-Irish brew of wild, swirling Traditional Irish music & raucous, full-on Pink Rock : rip-roaring, irrepressible 'Psycho-Ceilidh!'

Led by the authentic, passionate voice of Leeson O'Keeffe, an original member of Shane MacGowan's Popes (& some-time Alabama 3 banjo-ish AND Hayseed Dixie collaborator), NECK are contemporaries (& friends) of The Dropkick Murphys & Flogging Molly.

Over nine years furious global gigging has seen Neck's irrepressible uplifting live show establish them as International Festival favourites from Moscow (in front of 8,000) to Texas & all points in-between. Notching up eight U.S. Trips (including SXSW & headlining the 2nd biggest Irish Festival - Dublin, Ohio) & countless European & UK ones, they headline at small festivals (i.e. Riverside, Workhouse, Golowan - UK; Zomerpop, NL; Brintaal, Italy; Oulu, Finland - all 2009) & 2nd & 3rd stages of larger ones (i.e. Trowbridge, UK; Paas Pop, NL; Punk & Disorderly, Berlin). Amongst numerous return bookings, they've encored at The Levellers' Beautiful Days & Solfest (both played twice now) & they've played both Glastonbury & Rebellion six times!
