Live, their energetic and captivating sound will leave you catching your breath. Played on BBC Introducing and Kerrang Radio, shortlisted by Kerrang and Marshall Records to play Download Festival, supported the likes of Sparta, Kid Kapichi, listener, many more.

"Civil Villains are, in all the best ways, oxymoronic. Balancing noisy, complicated (albeit incredibly fun) songs, with a witty charm, Civil Villains make for a great show." Gigslutz, 2018
