CHROME DIPPED
One of the most exhilarating bands in recent years, Australian band CIVIC reimagine proto-punk for an era of endless uncertainty. On their new album, Chrome Dipped, they push themselves and their sound even further. The title speaks to this desire to break down barriers. “I like the idea of Chrome Dipped being a mind set,” says frontman Jim McCullogh. “It’s like a casting of your character, or like an outer shell. One of the main objectives for this album was to make a drastic turn in our sound. Break the mold, melt the steel."
TAKEN BY FORCE
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 Suppression Ring, Total Control).
Released via ATO Records.
