One More Step Music Collective

  J ust this past week I had the honor of seeing a band many of us in the hardcore scene grew up on. That band was none other than Comeback Kid from Winnipeg Canada. The band just finished its US portion of its tour for the 25th anniversary of their biggest album “Wake The Dead”. They are now onto the European part of the tour and man do they put on a show.   The band’s first album “Turn It Around” was released in 2002 and they have been playing shows ever since. Over the years they have gone through a few line up changes with the most notable being Scott Wade being lead vocals from 2001-2006 with Andrew Neufeld being their vocalist from 2006-present. However their fan favorite album has got to be “Wake The Dead”. This album has some of their biggest songs to date such as the albums title track “Wake The Dead”.

Their heavy yet emotional sound makes me go “man I wish I had these guys when I was in high school!” However, Koyo is here now which has put a new sense of revival and new beginnings in me!  Koyo is my favorite band discovery of the past two years for sure! The band put out their first EP “ Painting Words Into Lines” back in March of 2020. The first song I ever heard of theirs was off this album. The song called “Heaven so heavy” is a perfect song to introduce yourself to this band with. It’s got their unique yet familiar guitar sound which is both crunchy and yet somehow mellow and sonically soothing which pairs well with their emotional gritty lyrics about life and its struggles.   My second favorite of all their releases came out in 2021. Titled “DRIVES OUT EAST” this album has on...
