Upon releasing "Turn It Around" on Facedown Records in 2003, Comeback Kid began touring full-time, covering most of North America as well as Europe. They also appeared on many high profile hardcore festivals like Hellfest and Posi Numbers festival. Following the touring for "Turn It Around", Comeback Kid entered the Blasting Room in Fort Collins, Colorado to begin recording their sophomore full length.
In February 2005 Comeback Kid released "Wake the Dead", their first for Victory Records. After some long tours, vocalist Scott Wade left the band. Neufeld became the band's vocalist, and they began recording their third album "Broadcasting". The release of "Broadcasting" was followed by more steady touring, culminating with a summer long tour supporting Rise Against in North America, and their first appearance on the "Never Say Die" tour in Europe with Parkway Drive. By the end of 2007 the band was to take a short hiatus. At this time bass player Kevin Call left the band on good terms, issuing a statement regarding leaving Comeback Kid.
Call was replaced by Matt Keil who had played in Minneapolis area bands with Hjelmberg. Two more years of touring followed, with the band visiting South East Asia and Latin America for the first times.
In 2008 a CD / DVD was released called "Through the Noise" which is a line from the song "Industry Standards" off of "Broadcasting..." . The DVD is a documentary of the first 6 years of Comeback Kid. The CD is a live recording of a show in Leipzig, Germany filmed in fall 2007. A release tour in Canada followed, named the "Through the Noise Tour." It featured Bane, Misery Signals, Shai Hulud, Grave Maker, and Outbreak. While on this tour Gravemaker suffered a van accident with Neufeld in the vehicle, which inspired the song "G.M. Vincent and I" off 2010's "Symptoms + Cures".
After two years of international touring, the band spent much of 2010 writing and recording their fourth studio album, "Symptoms + Cures" which was released in Canada by Distort Entertainment and internationally by Victory Records. Two more installments of the "Through the Noise" tour followed in North America and Europe.
In early 2012 guitarist Casey Hjelmberg announced he would be leaving the band. Stu Ross of Misery Signals/Living with Lions will assume guitar duties.
Neufeld confirmed that the band is writing new material this moment, but the progress is quite delayed as the band has many touring plans at the moment. They're also planning a 10th Anniversary Show for the release of their first full-length record "Turn It Around", with their former vocalist Scott Wade in 2013.
On September 21, 2013, Comeback Kid stated on their Facebook page they would have started recording a new full-length album. Die Knowing, the band's fifth studio album, was released on March 4, 2014, through Victory Records.
On May 13, 2014, drummer and founding member Kyle Profeta announced his departure from the band, to focus on his culinary skills in South Africa.

Didn't Even Mind
Comeback Kid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pushing from every side
You didn't even mind
It took the rest of me to stop and say no more
You didn't even mind
Am I just reading it all wrong?
Too many voices overtaking and I'm misplacing
I'm in too deep to quit
And there's just too many good reasons that keep me sucked in
Though barely scraping by, you didn't flinch at all
I spent the rest of my earnings on just feeling numb
I never meant to keep putting this on you
It's all wrong, It's alright
When it's all gone bad
And I've probably lost it
The world could die, but you'd survive
How many faced with
How many torn
I see how much I wasted
While you never turned.
The lyrics of Comeback Kid's song "Didn't Even Mind" convey a sense of being under pressure and not being able to handle it. The singer of the song is finding it hard to cope with the demands placed on them from all sides. They are at a point where they are wasting time, avoiding signs and feel like they are in too deep to quit. These demands seem to have taken a toll on the singer, which is seen in the line "I spent the rest of my earnings on just feeling numb". It is evident that the singer is beating themselves up for relying on their friend ("you") to help them cope. The closing line of the stanza, "It's all wrong, It's alright", is a way of the singer reassuring themselves that everything will be okay.
The second stanza shows the singer acknowledging the fact that they have become reliant on their friend's support. However, they are also concerned if they are seeing it all wrong. Amidst this doubt and insecurity, they still find comfort in their friend's unwavering support. It is quite possible that the singer is facing some mental health issues; therefore, the support they receive from their friend is a source of strength for them. The final stanza seems to suggest that the singer is going through some rough times, but as long as their friend is present, they will get through it all.
Line by Line Meaning
I felt the pressure building up
I was under a lot of stress
Pushing from every side
It felt like the stress was coming from every direction
You didn't even mind
But you didn't seem to care about how stressed I was
It took the rest of me to stop and say no more
It was really hard for me to speak up and say that I couldn't handle it anymore
You didn't even mind
And you didn't even seem to notice how difficult it was for me
Am I just reading it all wrong?
I'm starting to wonder if I'm misunderstanding the situation
Too many voices overtaking and I'm misplacing
There are too many people telling me what to do and I'm getting confused about what I really want
Wasting this precious time, avoiding signs
I'm wasting valuable time by ignoring the signs that I need to change something in my life
I'm in too deep to quit
I feel like I've invested too much time and effort to just give up now
And there's just too many good reasons that keep me sucked in
There are a lot of positive aspects to my situation that make it hard for me to leave
Though barely scraping by, you didn't flinch at all
Even though I'm barely managing to get by, you didn't show any concern
I spent the rest of my earnings on just feeling numb
I wasted all my money on things that made me feel nothing
I never meant to keep putting this on you
I didn't intend to burden you with my problems
It's all wrong, It's alright
Everything feels very messed up, but I'm still okay with it
When it's all gone bad
When everything falls apart
And I've probably lost it
And I've likely lost everything that mattered
The world could die, but you'd survive
Even if everything else fell apart, you'd still be okay
How many faced with
How many other people are going through this
How many torn
How many people are feeling torn and conflicted
I see how much I wasted
I can see how much time and energy I've wasted
While you never turned.
While you remained steadfast and unwavering throughout it all.
