Manitoba Music
Three Local Acts Up for Top Video Spot
Gwen Stefani, 50 Cent, Coldplay, Comeback Kid. Comeback Kid? While the local harcore act has definitely been making waves internationally with its latest release Wake the Dead on Smallman Records, it's still surprising to see the band included in a list of music superstars. But that's exactly where you'll find Comeback Kid, along with hip-hop trio Mood Ruff, and Juno-nominated rock outfit The Waking Eyes when you log onto MuchMusic's website.
