CIVIC Chrome Dipped (2025) Vinyl LP

Melbourne's CIVIC have been quietly making the rest of the world's garage punk scene look a bit underdressed for years now. Chrome Dipped is their 2025 full-length, and it sounds exactly like what happens when a band stops giving a damn about anything except the song.

This is Australian punk at its most visceral, the kind of record that slots naturally between your Eddy Current Suppression Ring and Radio Birdman shelf space but still has its own greasy fingerprints all over it. Buzzsaw riffs, drums that hit like a dropped transmission, hooks that dig in before you've had time to agree to them. CIVIC are one of the genuinely essential bands working in Australian alternative music right now, and Chrome Dipped is the document that proves it.

This is the limited edition Iridescent Poison Vinyl pressing, individually numbered, this copy being 96 of 100. Once they're gone, they're gone, and you'll be paying secondary market prices while pretending you knew about them already. 12-inch LP, full-length album, Australian artist.
