COMEBACK KID CELEBRATES THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF THEIR SEMINAL ALBUM WAKE THE DEAD

Comeback Kid, one of the most influential bands of the hardcore punk rock scene, is gearing up to celebrate two major milestones in 2025: the 20th anniversary celebration of their groundbreaking album, Wake The Dead and a remarkable 25 years together as a band.

Originally released on February 22, 2005, Wake The Dead quickly became a defining moment in the band’s career and helped shape the sound of an entire era. Produced and recorded by Bill Stevenson, drummer of Descendents / ALL, at the iconic Blasting Room in Fort Collins, Colorado, Wake The Dead sold over 100,000 units, charted in the Top 20 on the Billboard’s Heatseekers chart, and has left an indelible mark, influencing countless bands and cementing its place as a pivotal work in the evolution of hardcore punk. Celebrate this momentous occasion with Comeback Kid as they bring Wake The Dead to life like never before.

Originating in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and first gaining recognition with their 2002 demo and the acclaimed Turn It Around in 2003; Comeback Kid has consistently balanced a DIY ethos and dependability with a humanitarian approach, breaking down hardcore boundaries and elevating the genre to a global stage. Career-defining album Wake The Dead launched the band to new heights in 2005, and 2007 found Andrew

Neufeld taking over vocal duties on the band’s third full-length, Broadcasting. Giving

hardcore notoriety across the world, Comeback Kid released four albums between

2011-2022, the latest being the critically acclaimed Heavy Steps.

Earlier this year, Comeback Kid released the critically acclaimed Trouble EP through

Sharptone (Worldwide) and New Damage Records (Canada). Produced and recorded by the band and John Paul Peters (Propagandhi, Cancer Bats) at Private Ear Recording in Winnipeg, the EP stands as a powerful testament to the band’s steadfast commitment to forging ahead on their own terms. Described as a "must-listen" that captures the band at the height of their creativity, the 4-track EP features the infectious, tongue-in-cheek lead single “Trouble In The Winner’s Circle”, the festival anthem “Disruption”, and the gritty, pulse-pounding “Chompin’ At The Bit.”
