Brilliant hardcore bands don't necessarily have to come from the USA. A bit further north lies Canada, the second largest country on Earth, but also with the eighth lowest population density per km². And although the land of maple seems to have no commonality with Germany at first glance, the cities and landscapes are quite similar. There are also urban centers and large cities in North America; Toronto has over 1.5 million more inhabitants than Berlin! Montreal is twice the size of Hamburg, and Vancouver has 50% more inhabitants than Munich! Calgary is just ahead of Cologne, and then we already have Frankfurt am Main, while in Canada there are still Edmonton, Ottawa, Quebec, and Winnipeg to come. The latter city is about the same size as FFM and has two excellent melodic hardcore punk bands, PROPAGANDHI and COMEBACK KID, while I can't think of any major current bands from FFM (the heyday of RODGAU MONOTONES, STRASSENJUNGS, and TANKARD is long gone).
PROPAGANDHI released a powerful album called "Failed States" 1.5 years ago, and now it's COMEBACK KID's turn. I must admit, however, that I didn't expect a new release from the KIDs anymore. While the first 5 albums of the KIDs came out with precise regularity every 1-2 years, there has been nothing to hear since the fabulous 2010 smash album "Symptoms And Cures".
But now the COMEBACK, fitting to the band name ;-)
And the COMEBACK KIDs not only pick up where they left off in 2010, they also add a hardcore riff with "the Knowing", always hitting hard..... with the 12 songs!
It starts right from the intro, where you immediately know what will hit you in just a few seconds, great!
Worth mentioning is that the melody never fades in the 32 minutes of the album's playtime, making the record a highlight of the spring!!!! Old School meets New School, all thumbs up!
Stop, unfortunately, one thumb goes down... There's no booklet included! No lyrics! Nothing of the sort, and so I can hardly say anything about the lyrics, which apparently mostly refer to the impressions of everyday life.
