New York’s Neckscars return with Manor Mooch, the second single from their upcoming album Unhinged, out August 1 via Sell The Heart Records (US) and Engineer Records (UK). With its gritty guitars, sharp hooks, and gang-vocal punch, the track delivers everything Neckscars have come to represent—melodic punk rock with heart and bite.
Formed in 2018 by veterans of the NY punk scene, Neckscars made their mark with 2021’s Don’t Panic. Now, Unhinged pushes their sound forward, darker and more emotionally raw without losing the energy. Manor Mooch captures that perfectly—fast, honest, and undeniably catchy.
Lyrically, the song calls out the kind of friend who only shows up when they need something—resentment turned anthem. Premiered by Punk Rock Theory, the single and video were praised for expanding the band’s sound while keeping their classic punk urgency intact.
With Unhinged just around the corner, Manor Mooch shows Neckscars sharpening their edge and stepping into their own.
