DESCRIPTION:
All songs written by CIV except "All Twisted" (Gunner/Holland). New York hardcore punk band CIV's 1995 album SET YOUR GOALS includes "State of Grace" and "Can't Wait One Minute More." CIV's debut album is a standard-issue set of heavy-testosterone, straight-ahead '90s punk rock -- which means it is a fusion of the '80s California punk aesthetic and heavy metal guitar crunch. Apart from the single "Wait One Minute More," which borrows its pounding tribal drums directly from Adam And The Ants' Kings of the Wild Frontier, Set Your Goals isn't particularly distinctive, but it delivers the same thrills as The Offspring and Sick Of It All, which is enough for most of the band's fans. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine The punk revivalists' 1995 debut album produced by Don Fury (Helmet, Agnostic Front), features 16 tracks. WEA. Personnel: Civ (vocals); Charlie (guitar); Arthur (bass); Sammy (drums). Additional personnel: Lou Koller, Danny Dulin, D Jango, Erkin "El-Wood" Husey, Skinnerbox NYC Horns.
