COMEBACK KID

COMEBACK KID has spent over two decades redefining what hardcore can be — fierce, anthemic, uncompromising, yet constantly evolving. Refusing to be boxed into a single scene, the Canadian band has forged a path that’s as fearless as it is authentic.

Their sixth album, Outsider — and first on Nuclear Blast — captures the band at full throttle. From the pit-inciting chaos of “Surrender Control” to the melodic urgency of “Hell of a Scene,” COMEBACK KID blends thrash riffs, hardcore breakdowns, and singalong choruses with precision and intensity. Frontman Andrew Neufeld pushes his vocal range further than ever, balancing raw aggression with a new melodic edge, as he tackles themes ranging from inner struggle to societal distractions.

Since their 2000 debut Turn It Around, the band has grown without losing its bite. They’ve played every major heavy music festival, toured relentlessly across the globe, and shared stages with acts from all corners of the punk and metal worlds. Whether in a sweaty club or a massive open-air stage, COMEBACK KID delivers a live show that’s nothing short of explosive.

Six albums in, and the message is clear: COMEBACK KID isn’t slowing down — they’re just getting sharper.

STRIKE ANYWHERE delivers a powerful blend of melodic hardcore and politically charged punk rock. Formed in Richmond, Virginia, the band built its sound on fast tempos, shouted choruses, and urgent, emotionally charged songwriting — equal parts resistance and catharsis.

Their albums Change Is a Sound, Exit English, and Dead FM are marked by driving rhythms, razor-sharp guitars, and lyrics that tackle social injustice, personal struggle, and collective action. With Nightmares of the West (2020), their first release in over a decade, they pushed their sound further while staying true to their core: melodic, intense, and unflinchingly committed.

Still as fierce and relevant as ever, STRIKE ANYWHERE continues to channel punk’s spirit of defiance into a sound that inspires and ignites.
