Melbourne punk band Civic has introduced the follow-up to their 2021 debut album Future Forecast. Taken By Force can be out in February, and so they’re sharing a lead single, “End Of The Line,” which has a music video directed by James Gorter.
Recording Taken By Force in Castlemaine, the band tapped Radio Birdman and New Christs vocalist Rob Younger to supply and engineer Mikey Young to combine and grasp.
Opening up about “End Of The Line,” singer Jim McCullough says, “I wrote that song about a solo trip I took around Europe in my early 20s, and the anxiety of realising I had no one to protect me but myself.” McCullough provides that “End Of The Line” is supposed to acknowledge one’s mortality and displays on “finding peace in a chaotic moment that you have no control over.”
