Description
Civic – “Future Forecast” LP
A punk band from Australia. And that is exactly what they sound like: a punk band from Australia. Biggest and most important reference point for Melbourne’s Civic is peak era Saints – it’s got the drunken swagger, the killer hooks, and that distinct belligerent attitude that was delivered by Chris Bailey with his effortless cool. Packs a few other surprises, and on the occasions when the adrenalin eases off, a little aggressive indie pop sneaks through Phew, what a bleedin’ rager. Garage power pop with a raw, raucous joie de vivre.
