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 who were both members of Figure Four. They were joined by their friends Scott Wade and Kyle Profetta, but CBK was originally intended only to be a side project. Their initial popularity was mainly due to 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.

[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 felt he was now holding back the band. His bulletin ended with a thank you to the band, as well as a thank you to all the fans who had "screamed back words once written in a bedroom."

Scott played a final show with the band in Winnipeg on July 15, 2006.
