One of the most exhilarating bands in recent years, Australian band CIVIC reimagine proto-punk for an era of endless uncertainty. On their new album, Chrome Dipped, they push themselves and their sound even further. The title speaks to this desire to break down barriers. I like the idea of Chrome Dipped being a mind set, says frontman Jim McCullogh. Its like a casting of your character, or like an outer shell. One of the main objectives for this album was to make a drastic turn in our sound. Break the mold, melt the steel.”
