Civic - Radiant Eye

    


  "TRUMPETS!!!....  and wah wah!! - track of the show!!"

  Just one of several positive comments from the chatroom when I played today's song on this week's Just Some Punk Songs show. And the praise was deserved as it is one hell of a track...

  Civic are a "gutter rock" 5 piece (Darcy Grigg, David Forcier, Jim McCullough, Lewis Hodgson & Roland Hlavka) from Melbourne. They've released 3 yop notch singles on Anti Fade Records and have now added a 4th in the shape of the Radiant Eye 7" which this time around is available via Flightless Records on transparent red vinyl (ltd to 500 copies with a foldout poster cover) :   https://flightlessrecords.com/products/civic-radiant-eye-7 



    The A side, and title track, actually appears to feature saxophone rather than trumpets but who cares, either way it's a blistering garage rocker with more hooks than you'll get in an angling competition. Definitely one you'll be rocking out to. The flip side is an impressive cover of Making Time, a song originally released as the 1966 debut single by UK rock band The Creation (it was one of the first rock songs in which a guitar was played with a bow). 

  This is Radiant Eye...
