Comet Gain is a London-based punk and soul band known for their unique blend of damaged rock n' roll. The band was formed in Oxford in 1992 by long-term members David Feck/Christian, Rachel Evans, Jon Slade, Kay Ishikawa, Anne-Laure Guillian and Woodie Taylor. With an impressive lineup and a sound that defies categorization, Comet Gain has captivated audiences with their raw energy and heartfelt lyrics.
Originally starting out as a collaboration between David and his housemate Phil Sutton, the band quickly expanded to include Sarah Bleach, Jaxx Coombes and Sam Pluck in 1993. However, in 1997, all members except David went on to form Velocette (2), leaving Comet Gain's album 'Sneaky' and their next single "Get Yourself Together" abandoned at the test pressing stage.
Despite this setback, Comet Gain continued to push boundaries and create music that resonates with fans around the world. Their dedication to their craft shines through in every performance, making them a force to be reckoned with in the punk rock scene.

The last LP was a gentler, inner, melancholic hug at 2am and perhaps we would've continued to go down a sweeter road but the state of the world has meant we were compelled to turn the fuzz up and make something more brutal and instant. In defiance to our last LP - now it's late night sadness turns to the angry morning. First take beats ethics. Two weeks of late afternoon 45s listening parties with The Rationals / Nerves / Messthetics / Back From The Grave garage / Fading Yellow comps /The Jam / Dead Moon - whatever had the urge. Trying to figure out how Rufus Thomas would sound if he joined the Swell Maps … condensing it all mixing and absorbing then forgetting it all and propelling the psychic mix tape into an albums worth of angry pop drops and slow howls. Recorded in a living room in North London with James Hoare (The Proper Ornaments/Ultimate Painting) with the help of Joseph Harvey-Whyte (Hanging Stars) pedal steeliest. Then turned into the record it is by drummer / producer M.J. Taylor who also produced our LP Realistes - the closest cousin to this one ... songs about the evil greedy mirage of world religion, Victor Jara and those poets and teachers killed for believing in love and words, about the forgotten who are blamed for everything and can't rise up from their knees to fight back, about the high street Kali-Yuga, occult terrorists with low IQ but high ESP, about the Godfrey Brothers, about Lou Reed's mourning dog on a road trip trying to bury his masters mullet somewhere in the desert, about those stuck in the glory days of their past myopic of the present and all the other usual losers and romantics we always bang on about - with added melody and stomp … giving no real answers but pointing fingers and prodding you in the back ... in defiance of just staying silent and letting the morons win. So Comet Gain is still alive longer than we should - still trying to be a collective and an idea emerging every now and then with the same grumpy erratic sounds - this one's louder than the last one but sometimes maybe quieter. It's made from an amazement that the hate mind is winning and we're not doing anything about it - we're still voting for these bozos and not burning the whole ugly facade to the ground. And it's filled with love and rage. And its about 40 minutes long which is always a good thing.
