The latest single release from The Kites delivers a massively impactful soundscape in the form of an emotionally driven alternative rock banger but it also comes with this bright and almost youthfully anthemic approach that hits hard, packs a solid punch, and gets you to start really thinking and feeling.
I am a huge fan of any release that makes you feel or think. This is a track that does both simply because it has such passion and soul behind its performance and delivery that it gives it an almost cinematic backbone at times.
"Comeback Kid" wastes absolutely no time getting you pulled right into its addictive and full-bodied atmosphere with heavy but colorful guitar work all over it that blends that character in with that color but also still manages to keep holding on to that harder tonality.
This is an explosive track and the way it was arranged was brilliant simply because it builds up to that massive and anthemic chorus and this is something that sticks with you and bounces around in your brain and even your body for hours after the song has ended.
The only way to say she ate this is to go and listen to the song again and again. You may chalk this up the smart songwriting, but I feel like this is just how these guys write.
This was a very smart song with a lot of attention to detail in terms of its creation, but it's got heart and that personality to go along with it. These two elements are actually the most important aspects of the track and what gives it its massive impact.
Yes, this certainly does get explosive because it gets heavy. The guitars go from slick and colorful to heavy and thick but still incredibly melodic and the whole song has this incredible sonic drive that's balanced out in all the right places.
I absolutely love that youthful cry out that the song delivers because you feel like it's something that you can relate to, and I think a lot of people can relate to this track because it's so damn spirited.
This is indeed a heavily influential and spirited single that comes through as a fists-in-the-air sing-along, but it also has this rambunctious element that makes you want to push the couch back and jump around the living room to it.
It's infectious and the energy is so good it almost feels like they recorded it live on the floor, and everyone involved was just feeding off of each other the entire time.
I love hearing a song on an album and immediately knowing that that band is going to be outstanding to see in a live performance setting.
The energy is infectious and electric the entire time, and the song feels alive and breathing.
I definitely feel like it, in part, comes from that emotional and youthful drive of the song and how its honesty breeds that personality, and in turn, the entire presence of the band just hits right.
This is definitely an incredibly memorable track that leaves its mark and also, in my opinion, speaks volumes for the band.
Upon listening to this track, I had to take a little bit of a deep dive into their back catalog of releases on Spotify and I'm glad that I did because they have a handful of singles and EPs that are all outstanding.
Most of the singles released ended up being on the EPs themselves but these records are killer.
This band just has a lot of heart oozing from every note, the vocals are genuine, the band hits hard but knows how to balance dynamically, and again, each element feeds off the next.
The drums pound and give the drive that the songs need to push through but are also balanced in all the right spots and in all the right ways, the guitar work is inventive but catchy. Heavy when it needs to be but also melodically driven. The base is thick but walks when it needs to, and the vocals are always real and feel like songs are written from real-life situations.
A lot of these feel-like inner thoughts that had to spill out so that's what happened.
Definitely check this single out but also check out the rest of their back catalog because if you like this track, you're going to love the rest of their stuff as well.
Don't be afraid to turn it up and remember where you heard it first.
