Symptoms and Cures by Comeback Kid
Hardcore punk heroes, Comeback Kid, will release their fourth album tomorrow entitled Symptoms and Cures through Distort Records. Comeback Kid is presently tailored of vocalist Andrew Neufeld, guitarists Jeremy Hiebert and Casey Hjelmberg, bassist Matt Keil, and drummer Kyle Profeta. Comeback Kid may have a new voice proceeding the departure of vocalist Scott Wade, but the band’s tenor and heart have done anything but falter. Comeback Kid’s roots have grown strong, and their sound consistent. Their demeanor may have changed, but their expression, not. Born and raised in Winnipeg, Canada, Comeback Kid has endured a storm or two of their own, becoming a keystone of good old-fashioned hardcore punk.
Symptoms and Cures may not have the same voice, but it speaks the same. Comeback Kid’s latest is anything but delicate. Finger-licking tough punk at its best pressed with classic badass Comeback Kid breakdowns. Catchy sing-a-longs as heard in “G.M. Vincent & I” are expressed and screamed with heart and fortitude. This seasoned quintet has proven to be strong and will persist. My album favorites: “Do Yourself A Favor”, “Manifest”, and “Get Alone” – Comeback Kid at their best. Pick this one up and you will not be disappointed.
Following the release, the outfit will set sail on a September long Canadian tour with A Wilhelm Scream and Madball. Best of luck on the road and wherever it may lead.
