After signing with Hopeless Records in August 2013,[6] Neck Deep released their full-length debut album Wishful Thinking in January 2014.[7] The album reached number 2 on the UK Rock & Metal Albums Chart,[8] number 3 on the US Heatseekers Albums chart,[9] and registered on several other UK and US charts. Hopeless also reissued the band's first two EPs, both separately and as a single set.[10][11][12] In February, the group released a split EP with American band Knuckle Puck,[13] and in June they released a cover version of Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" for the Kerrang! free compilation Kerrang! Does Green Day's American Idiot.[14] In 2015, the band contributed covers of Funeral for a Friend's "Juneau" and Blink-182's "Don't Tell Me It's Over" to compilations released by Rock Sound and Kerrang! magazines, respectively.[15][16]

In August 2015, Neck Deep released their second studio album Life's Not out to Get You, which reached number 8 on the UK Albums Chart and number 17 on the US Billboard 200,[17][18] as well as topping the UK Independent Albums and US Independent Albums charts.[19][20] Days after the album's release, Roberts left the band when accusations of "misconduct with underage girls" were levelled at the guitarist (as well as other members of the group).[21] He was later replaced by Sam Bowden, who was previously a member of Blood Youth.[22]
