Biografía de Comeback Kid

Comeback Kid, sometimes abbreviated to CBK is a Canadian hardcore punk band formed in the year 2002 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

Named after a headline in a newspaper referring to hockey player Mario Lemieux who made a startling return to the NHL, Comeback Kid was formed in 2002 by friends Andrew Neufeld and Jeremy Hiebert. The two were in a band named Figure Four and intended CBK only to be a side-project, however with the addition of friends Scott Wade and Kyle Profeta the band released their debut album “Turn It Around” on Facedown Records in 2003.

In 2004 Comeback Kid signed with Victory Records who subsequently released all of the future CBK’s material. After touring across the U.S. and Europe Comeback Kid returned with their Sophomore album titled “Wake the Dead” in 2005. The album cemented the band’s proclivity for lightning quick guitar rhythms and violently fervent lyrics, and was produced by Bill Stevenson of Black Flag and Descendents fame. After extensive touring with the album, vocalist Scott Wade departed in 2006 and whose vocal responsibilities fell to Neufeld.

“Broadcasting…” released in 2007 was the band’s follow-up album and puts new singer Neufeld in control and adds a ferocity to the lyrics that wasn’t there before, he’s commanding and compelling, and compliments the battering-ram of percussion and guitar. The band subsequently toured across much of the world including South East Asia and Latin America.

A documentary about the band entitled “Through The Noise’ was released in 2007, documenting the the first six years of the band’s history. After a lengthy period of touring, writing and recording Comeback Kid released “Symptoms and Cures” their fourth studio album in 2010, and their fifth “Die Knowing” in 2014.

Críticas en vivo

Comeback Kid is one of those essential hardcore punk bands that circulated throughout the scene over the last twelve years both in North America and in Europe.

Seeing them several times in typical hardcore punk venues, local firehouses, bar and billiard joints, community halls, and the likes, I can confirm Comeback Kid puts on one of the most energetic, positive shows there are in the hardcore punk world, and they do so all over the world year after year with new material.

I first saw them with Down To Nothing and other east coast hardcore bands touring through Richmond, Virginia at the time. Their Turn It Around album had come out a few months prior and the word of mouth spread about their awesome breakdowns, noble gang vocals, and overall totally moshable sound.

The place was small, hot, and packed, people were hanging off of speakers, crowd surfing, circling pitting, and much more. The majority of people were straight edge and under thirty, but like every punk show there's the exceptions. Overall it was a great time, my friends and I moshed our feet off, one buddy sprained his arm trying to land a stage dive, but we kept going because the show was that terrific. Comeback Kid doesn't tour as often as they use to, so catch them while you can!
