Neck Deep's Drummer Dani Abasi Departs From Band

Neck Deep has announced that long-time drummer Dani Abasi has decided to leave the band. In a statement posted across Neck Deep's social media, and written and signed off by Abasi himself, the drummer says he will be investing more time into his solo projects while the band wishes Dani the best in future endeavors.

The full statement reads:

"YO!

After 10 years of touring the world and growing so much creatively and personally over the years, the time has come for me to move on from Neck Deep.

The most important part about Neck Deep for me really became the connection and community I developed with our supporters. So I would like to truly express to anyone I have met over the years, that I will always keep those memories incredibly close to my heart. And I would love to remain a part of your lives with what I do next. Moving forward I’ll be focusing all of my energy into drumming, and investing in my own studio so I can write/record and create as freely as I want. I’m also gonna keep everything rolling with my brand RAIN, and you will see me touring again in the future for sure! I’m very excited to get started on some new projects. I’m looking forward to working with new people in more diverse ways, and feeling comfort just being 100% myself, unapologetically. That’s how it should always be. Special shot out to all my black/POC family that have supported me over the years too, I’ll always proudly represent you guys in this scene, that will never change. So much love for everybody out there who has helped or supported Neck Deep in reaching the point it’s at. The past 10 years of my life have been and will always be unforgettable.

Thank you and see you all soon!

It's great to see that Neck Deep and Dani have left on mutually good terms and I can only wish Dani and Neck Deep the best and eagerly await the anticipation of how the band plans to move forward.

Neck Deep will be hitting the road this summer on the Sad Summer Fest with Waterparks, Mayday Parade, State Champs and more!
