Civil Chaos - Live It Up

'Holier Than Thou' labelling another band from who you can hear clear links with the past. The opening sequence is something straight out of a ZZ Top playbook but once the rhythm guitar gets going you realise that this is a slightly different experience all together. The band sing about the hardships of living their day to day lives while being the rock n roll heads they all are - they definitely strike a chord with myself and the masses about 'Rolling into work at about half past eight' after a crazy night.. on top of doing the menial jobs they don't like 'because they need the cash'.

The lead singer Nick Robinson is more then a little reminiscent of ACDC frontman Brian Johnson, his voice almost stretched to breaking point to produce the harrowing vocals that he does. Halfway through the single the music dies down to whispering volume before building itself back up again into what can only be described as an axe solo - something you could expect to hear on many 1980 albums.

There are a few bands around nowadays who go for this tried and tested formula of yesteryear but this band really capture the vibe and modernise it enough for it to be good listening even for those who weren’t around to experience ACDC and Aerosmith at the height of their fame. This is definitely a band with a marketable sound and I expect them to have some surefire success over the coming years.

Nick Robinson - Lead Vocals and Lead/Rhythm Guitar
Lee Kitson - Lead/Rhythm Guitar and Backing Vocals
Chris Robinson - Drums, and Backing Vocals
'Dirty Berty' Burton - Bass Guitar
