Neck Deep have announced that live guitarist Sam Bowden has joined the band on a permanent basis. The Wrexham-based pop rockers parted ways with former axe-wielder Lloyd Roberts last summer, after a subsequently dropped police investigation into allegations of Roberts 'sexting' an underage fan sullied the band's reputation.
The band announced the news in a statement earlier today:
"As a few of you may have noticed, we've been playing live with a stranger. However, he's no longer a stranger. Please join us in welcoming our new guitarist Sam to the unit. We love him, we're sure you will too."
With Bowden now firmly in the fold, the band can concentrate on promoting their 2015 album Life's Not Out To Get You with a world tour, including several UK dates, in 2016. For tickets and more information, visit here.
