For the past two decades, Comeback Kid has stood as a cornerstone in shaping and pioneering the sound of modern punk and hardcore, and they show absolutely zero signs of slowing down. A few days ago band announced ‘Trouble‘, the new EP set for release on March 15th through SharpTone Records.
The four-song EP is a sonic blast, as bright melodies cross waves with thrashy riffs and riled-up vocals. Lead single ‘Trouble In The Winner’s Circle‘ is primed to be an anthem, laced with punchy rhythms and an infectious chorus harkening back to the song’s title. It’s a tongue-in-cheek track about public collapse, and the video finds the band ironically trapped in a fishbowl in the midst of an underground fight club.
On the track, vocalist Andrew Neufeld states: “‘Trouble In The Winner’s Circle’ is about public meltdowns. Having the world crashing down on you on display for the masses to see like peering into a fishbowl. It’s a tongue and cheek rock anthem driving its point to the bitter end.”
‘Trouble’ EP tracklist:
1. Trouble In The Winner’s Circle
2. Disruption
3. Chompin’ At The Bit
4. Breaking And Bruised
Produced and recorded by the band and John Paul Peters at Private Ear Recording in their hometown of Winnipeg during 2023, the ‘Trouble‘ EP is a testament to Comeback Kid‘s unwavering commitment to pushing forward on their own terms. The band set out to create an almost palette cleanser from past material, leaning more upbeat, but still carrying the hard-hitting aggression they’re known for. With mixing and mastering from Will Putney, you can hear the layers and depth of sound the band carved out in every track on the release.
