Dear Reader,
After two years of trial and error, gnawing doubts and sudden breakthroughs, all the hair-pulling and chin-rubbing and lost sleep and fist-fights, our second LP is taking solid shape.
It's a big, ballsy expansion and escalation of the sonic turf we staked-out on our 2011 debut “Rules”, with more high-emotion and destruction and joy and carnage. Even at this stage, with the long and punishing mixing process ahead of us, we're already scared of the results.
This thing is going to give people brain tumors (the awesome kind). All we wanted to do was make a jaw-droppingly awesome record, not some sort of hyper-music-weapon that gets us “black-bagged” in our sleep and end up working for the C.I.A.
But in the mean-time, you can not only secure yourself an advance copy of this potentially fatal disc but also make a vital contribution to it's completion.
We've always been an unsigned, self-funded outfit, and we've already cleaned ourselves out on this thing, down to the last “clam”. So now we desperately need some “scratch” to fund the mixing and mastering process. Every penny will go into making this record sound fuuuuucking amaaaazing!
So if a fuuuuucking amaaaaaaazing CC album is something you feel you can get behind, please order your copy here, NOW, while we're still alive and at large and ready to finish the job.
Sincerely yours, with love and affection,
Aaron and Ben
CIVIL CIVIC.
Now, here are a few more details about some of the perks on offer.

The very first Civil Civic EP was released in 2009 exclusively on cassette, in a limited run of 100. Of those, 20 were the gold version you see pictured.
Only 4 of these bad boys are left, so if you have a taste for tape and want some very exclusive, very rare CC jams in your box, snap one up.
The Singles Club.

Still our number one tune according to Youtube, the Run Overdrive 7" single (with the awesome Fuck Youth on the flip-side) was released in 2010 in a limited run of 500. It sold out quickly and was never re-pressed.
We have the only 4 remaining copies up for grabs here. The singles were numbered, and these come from our personal stash which were all numbered #000. Rare as sharks fingers.
The White Label Club
![]()
For some reason we received 4 test-pressings for the Run Overdrive 7" single. All four of them are on the block, with signed sleeves, for the discerning CC fan who has everything. Lord it over your buddies with one of these fine rarities.
The White Label Club (Deluxe)

Your chance to really own a chunk of CC history. We have these two test-pressings of our debut album Rules, the only two that were produced. It's kind of tough letting this stuff go, but we'd rather get this new album finished than have test-pressings to one day show our grandkids.
Plus, with all the above mentioned perks you will also receive a limited edition CC T-shirt (ground-breaking design yet to be finalized) and one of these limited edition Airspray promo CD singles.

So that's what's on offer here. Seriously nice swag in addition to the groundbreaking new sounds of the yet-to-be-named second album!
If you go ahead and get on-board then we love you, physically. Come claim your kisses and hugs!!
