Melbourne's underground has always punched above its weight, and CIVIC carry that lineage proudly. Rob Younger's production credentials trace back to Radio Birdman's foundational late-70s work, making him a fitting architect for a band mining that same raw, high-voltage energy. The translucent red pressing makes this one worth owning as an object, not just a listen.
The Melbourne-based five-piece CIVIC return with their visceral new sophomore album ‘Taken By Force’ - aptly described by the band as “1984 meets Endless Summer.” CIVIC have reimagined the reckless intensity of proto-punk for an era of endless uncertainty and have become one of the most exhilarating bands to emerge from the Melbourne-scene in recent years. 'Taken By Force' was produced by Radio Birdman frontman Rob Younger and mixed/mastered by Mike Young (Eddy Current, Total Control).
