"Selling, Sucking, Blackmail, Bribes" is one of the best punk songs I heard in years. This energy makes me to break some things.
Favorite track: Selling, Sucking, Blackmail, Bribes.

"CIVIC are fresh meat, one of those rare bands that formed perfectly whole and with true urgency. They gathered momentum immediately, playing every week at a different pub or house party across Australia and releasing a 12" and 7" in quick succession on Melbourne's Anti Fade label. Their recordings exhibit song-writing virtuosity that moves from tough glam, power pop and fall down drunk pub rock, a style that the ancients dubbed GUTTER ROCK, and their live show propels the energy of these songs with the precision and discipline of backstreet hardcore. A relentless work ethic has them front and centre in the roster of modern Melbourne's underground hustle, continuing the tradition of Australian rnr outlaws without any retro schtick. CIVIC is the real deal, the new generation of high voltage Australian rock n roll." - Daniel Stewart

Competing for my favourite album of all time. Feels like it was an ancient relic unearthed from a tomb, imbued with the power of rock and roll eternal. Feels like watching mad max for the first time. It's perfect. weak_person
