“We are ecstatic to announce our 20 Year Anniversary show for ‘Wake The Dead’ this February. This will be our first time ever playing inside the Burton Cummings Theater in Winnipeg and is poised to be the biggest headlining show of our career,β the band shared. βWe will be playing Wake The Dead in its entirety, alongside some of our favourites from our other albums. Come celebrate 20 years of an album that changed our lives, and 25 years of CBK with us!”
Originally released on February 22, 2005, Wake The Dead quickly became a defining moment in the bandβs career and helped shape the sound of an entire era. Produced and recorded by Bill Stevenson, drummer of Descendents / ALL, at the iconic Blasting Room in Fort Collins, Colorado, Wake The Dead sold over 100,000 units, charted in the Top 20 on the Billboardβs Heatseekers chart, and has left an indelible mark, influencing countless bands and cementing its place as a pivotal work in the evolution of hardcore punk.
Celebrate this momentous occasion with Comeback Kid as they bring Wake The Dead to life like never before.
