Neck Deep Launch Retro Video Game to Mark December Anniversary
Neck Deep are levelling up. To mark the tenth anniversary of their beloved pop-punk anthem December, the band has released a brand new 8-bit video game—free to play now at december.neckdeepuk.com. The game drops just as the track records its biggest streaming day to date, clocking 540.8k plays across its three versions on December 1st.
A cult classic turned seasonal staple, December has grown far beyond its humble origins. From cover versions by BLACKPINK’s Rosé to a wave of TikTok creations (48,000 in a single day), the track continues to resonate—especially when the nights get colder, and the memories hit harder.
“Ten Years of December, Ten Years of Neck Deep”
Released on the band’s breakthrough 2015 album Life’s Not Out to Get You, December helped catapult Neck Deep from Wrexham DIY upstarts to global alt-rock heavyweights. The record itself, featuring hits like Can’t Kick Up The Roots and Gold Steps, hit the UK Top 10, earned a Silver certification, and remains a cornerstone of the UK pop-punk revival.
This December, Neck Deep aren’t just honouring a song—they’re celebrating an era. A special UK anniversary tour of Life’s Not Out to Get You will close out 2025, bringing the band back to their hometown of Wrexham for two intimate nights, followed by a run of major cities across the UK.
