Civ is a pioneering American punk rock band formed in the early 1990s, best known for their energetic sound and contribution to the New York hardcore scene. Fronted by vocalist Anthony Civarelli, also known as "Civ," the band emerged from the remnants of the iconic hardcore group Gorilla Biscuits. They gained mainstream recognition with their hit single "Can't Wait One Minute More," which received significant airplay on alternative radio stations. Civ successfully blended punk's raw energy with more melodic elements, capturing a wider audience and playing a crucial role in the 90s punk revival.
