Civilised describe themselves as being "Dark Wave Alt. Rock".

I am not sure what 'Dark Wave' means. Come to that, I'm not even sure what 'Alt Rock' is. The alternative to rock and roll?.

However i can be sure of some things. For instance, I can be sure that whatever it is i really really like it.

Maybe 'Dark Wave' refers to the dark, moody lyrics written with far too much respect for harmony to be delivered with overt aggression. Or maybe it refers to the pulsating guitar riffs that sit neatly beneath the floating melody of the keyboard and Martin Wills haunting vocals. Or perhaps 'Dark Wave' is just the way all of this comes together to form Civilised: a band quite unlike anything that has come out of Perth in recent times.

Civilised - Smile (for the camera) 192kbps, 6.20mb

Even a cursory examination of the debut disk from these young goths demonstrates the difficulty one has when trying to fit them into a genre. There is too much here that is driven by the guitar to deny the indie-rock. Too much of the dark and foreboding lyrical content to deny the Gothic influence. The drum beats too synthetic and dancey to deny that..... well to deny that deep down they actually want to discard their studded collars and misanthropic attitude in favour of glow sticks and dance moves.

Civilised are... Nathan Christiansen: Bass. Alister Fuller: Drums. Carl Hannemann: Guitar. Martin Wills: Vox. Michael Workman: Keys

Their home on the interweb is: www.civlised.net

They are just very good. While they won't be the next big thing out of Perth, they are certainly the most interesting.
