Comeback Kid (or CBK for short) is a hardcore punk band from Winnipeg, Canada. The band was formed in late 2000 by Andrew Neufeld and Jeremy Hiebert, members of the band Figure Four, as well as their friends Scott Wade and Kyle Profetta, originally as a side project. Their initial popularity was mainly caused by word of mouth within the metalcore/hardcore scene. The band released Turn It Around on Facedown Records in 2003 before moving to Smallman Records in Canada and Victory Records in the rest of the world the following year. Their affiliation with Facedown Records and Figure Four led many to believe that they are a Christian band, but they have gone on record to say that not all of their members are Christian. The song "Lorelei" was originally supposed to be released under Figure Fours upcoming record Suffering The Loss, becoming a Comeback Kid song due to the fact that the album wasn't long enough.

[edit] Wade's Departure

On March 12, 2006, at 4:17 AM, Scott Wade posted a MySpace bulletin saying that he was leaving Comeback Kid. He said that he felt he was holding back the band. He thanked the band, and thanked all the fans who had "screamed back words once written in a bedroom".

Deciding on playing one last show in the bands home town Winnipeg (July 15, 2006) Wade departed after being swarmed by loyal fans onstage.
