Named for its founder and lead singer, CIV blends traditional hardcore with an upbeat philosophy and catchy rhythms that take their cue from <a href="spotify:artist:3QP0XPDwbvGivqDAaJ5f5G">Adam Ant</a>. The singer, Anthony Civocelli, was formerly a member of New York's <a href="spotify:artist:4dJX4iJ0qbB4gjkeenbK2N">Gorilla Biscuits</a>, which released one album before breaking up in 1992. Civ opened his own tattoo parlor on Long Island before forming a new band, which includes bassist Arthur, guitarist Charlie, and drummer <a href="spotify:artist:1NAWG3AngjBXyKbmPaz92D">Sammy</a> (bandmembers choose not to reveal their last names). The band's knack for occasionally wearing gold-lamé suits and powder-blue leisure suits at gigs helped them get a record deal, and their first album, Set Your Goals, was released in 1995. Thirteen Day Getaway followed in 1998. ~ Steve Huey, Rovi
