Probably the biggest piece of news in the hardcore world this year so far is Comeback Kid vocalist Scott Wade's decision to leave the band he helped start four years ago. I'd heard rumours and had it confirmed yesterday, but then our boy Armin in Winnipeg(CBK's hometown) sent me this link, with a statement from Wade detailing what everyone wants to know: why would you leave one of the biggest hardcore bands in the world? Guitarist Andrew Neufeld, who made his name fronting Figure Four from 1998 to 2004, will take over vocal duties for the time being, possibly permanently, but Wade's distinctive yell will be missed, by me anyway. Come check out the newly-retooled Comeback Kid March 30th at Babylon here in Ottawa.
