Comet Gain

Comet Gain is a British indie pop band formed in the early 1990s by songwriter and frontman David Christian (sometimes credited as David Feck). Known for blending sharp, literate songwriting with lo-fi production and an emotionally raw edge, Comet Gain draws inspiration from punk, Northern soul, 1960s girl groups, and DIY pop aesthetics. Over the years, they’ve built a cult following with their emotionally resonant lyrics and eclectic sound, often mixing jangly guitars and soulful grooves with a touch of political and personal reflection.

The band’s lineup has shifted frequently throughout its history, but Christian has remained the constant creative force. Albums like Casino Classics (1995), City Falls (2002), and Howl of the Lonely Crowd (2011) have cemented their reputation as one of the UK indie scene’s enduring underground gems. Their work often feels like a mixtape of influences filtered through a deeply personal lens, resonating with fans who appreciate sincerity, smart lyrics, and a healthy dose of fuzz.
