Over the last twenty years COMEBACK KID have been hailed as one of the major counterparts when it has come to shaping and pioneering both the Canadian and international modern punk and hardcore sound and scene alike. Now one of the most volatile leaders within the global heavy music community and continuing to break down boundaries and champion new territories, COMEBACK KID’s seventh studio album, “Heavy Steps” is solidifying the band’s revolutionary status. Returning to their roots, literally, by recording in Winnipeg and co-producing with John Paul Peters (CANCER BATS, PROPAGHANDI) as well as collaboration with prominent mixer Will Putney (KNOCKED LOOSE, EVERY TIME I DIE), “Heavy Steps” is no longer a prerequisite to realizing COMEBACK KID’s influence on modern punk, but a delivery of pure anthemic chaos, sheer speed and force. It is a statement of intent. “It’s about hitting the ground running, not knowing when or where the ground could break from underneath you.” summarizes Neufeld. “It's heavy steps on thin ice. Heavy steps on hollow ground.”
