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!
