Over the course of a long career that has seen them weathering numerous lineup changes, multiple record labels, and shifting cultural tides, one thing remains blazingly constant for Comet Gain. No matter if it was one of their early records like 1995's Casino Classics -- which combined '60s-inspired rave-ups with sweet indie pop ballads -- the rambunctious and punk-inspired Realistes from 2002, or 2014's softly autumnal Paperback Ghosts, listeners could always count on the band for two things: lyrics that cut to the quick whether they were personal or political, and a sound that's shorn of artifice yet never skimps on melody. 2019's Fireraisers Forever! was made 27 years after they formed, and it was just as inspired, angry, and devoted to their brand of pop as their early recordings.
