Civ

[MaximumFluoride]

Ever since I heard their song on th Nissan commercial I have been listening to Set Your goals a lot.

Damn fine hardcore record. Damn fine indeed.

That CD has another great track - choices made I think it's called - good stuff.

[surrender]

that CD has held up so well since it was released.... like, extremely well. i had the pleasure of seeing them a ton when it came out and all the shows were great...

then the next album dropped and i didnt like it. sadly, the last time i saw them was a live performance at the Mtv Beachhouse in NJ...and that was by accident...

[MaximumFluoride]

I saw them on the Set Your goals tour. Funny that it happened to be one of the shows I went with Mark McGrath to. (story from another thread today) It was a cool night. I also went with Jay from White Zombie and Joe Sib from Wax/ 22Jacks/ Side One records. CIV KILLED!


Never heard the record after this one. Probably for the best I didn't.

[surrender]

who played with them?

that tour, as i remember seeing it had a revolving lineup... on different times i saw them play with the Toadies, Helmet, Sick of it All, Shelter...and maybe the Swingin Utters.

Civ rules. I wish I could have seen them live.

[bathroom monkey]

i know i saw them play Guavaween in Tamp one year. Quicksand was suppose to headline but they broke up right before the show or something. nonetheless, Civ ruled that show.

i might have seen them at some early, maybe the first, Warped tour.

Pretty sure Blagh Dahlia opened.

That first Civ album does still hold up pretty well (the second one was pretty awful). I only got to see them once, at the Warped Tour in '96, which isn't really the best place to see a band like that, but it was still a good show.

On a related note, Gorilla Biscuits just did a reunion show a couple weeks ago as a benefit for CBGB. There's a link to video from the show online here. It looks like it was a ton of fun...

[Pedini]

Its funny I got in an argument with some people about who does the song in the Nissan commercial and I said it sounded like Gorilla Biscuits (Start Today to be specific) and everybody was like no, its someone more recent, like Blink 182.

Ha, in yo face, people!
