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, Total Control).
