Leeds Post-Punks Nape Neck To Release “The Shallowest End” This Friday

Leeds trio Nape Neck release their debut LP The Shallowest End this Friday, just before embarking on a U.S. tour. The record captures their tangled, taut brand of post-punk—a sound equal parts chaotic and danceable, with dueling vocals and wiry rhythms recalling Scissor Girls and Erase Errata. Tracks like “Panacea” and the title song showcase clipped morse-code beats, delirious guitar work, and tightly wound grooves that embody both tension and release.

Formed by Claire Adams (bass), Bobby Glew (guitar), and Kathy Gray (drums), Nape Neck bring years of DIY touring and experimental spirit from past projects (Beards, Guttersnipe). The Shallowest End resists easy categorization while channeling the spiky energy of UK post-punk into something fiercely their own.

Look for Nape Neck’s “The Shallowest End” out September 19th on Dot Dash Sounds in North America, with Red Wig Records and OCCII distributing the record abroad!
