unfair assessment mate. The yanks still have many obscure bands that are really good, its just people dont really care to search for good music. The market at the time is so overcrowded, that commercial music is given priority in many cases .Certainly wont find it in the charts. Why do we wish to be spoonfed??
These guys are so sick live. Its just amazing to watch them perform their craft so well and with such intensity. I can't wait for the new album to drop in March. been listening to a couple teasers off their facebook page. A tour best be following the release!
As in he LOOKS like him… or as in the shots are framed so that he looks similar enough -- because, indeed, the lighting in the close-ups does make his face look like it has roughly the same shape...
A band that can be atmospheric and moody...and still rock HARD = sonic gold. Dear Coldplay and Radiohead, It's just no good anymore. The same stuff over and over again? That's why I leaving you. Goodbye.
@AdamThePirateSS3 Steven McKellar, lead singer, does vocals, bass, keyboards/piano. Cant you hear the bass? he's also holding it. Its funny, i went to school with this geezer years back in South Africa. He was 4 years ahead of me. I remember sitting in assembly when he was a row in front of me. Didn't know he got so much fame until a mate of mine played this song in his car.
does anybody else hear just a bit of The Police in this? good for them. after all, i guess the 80's are old enough to be considered a "vintage influence".
Before moving to the US they were known as "Superfine" and then they changed their name to "The View", but I can't remember the name of their album. When they moved to the US there were name complications due to a well known series named "The View", so they changed their name to Civil Twilight. I guess you can just search for the stuff they did in South Africa :)
"Letters From The Sky" got me hooked on this band but the Video for "Soldier" is so intense - much like the song. Eye contact goes a long way I suppose or a gold Les Paul or a man in a uniform.
a power trio. a singer with a distinct voice who plays bass and piano. playing good rock n' roll in a pop format. catchy songs. i do declare that 'civil twilight' are the new 'the police'. and there is nothing wrong with that.
I take aim from the kitchen window I take aim from up and down below I take aim from the tree in your backyard I fall asleep but I'm always on guard I take the shots but I have no authority I take the shots but I'm not guilty I'm just a soldier in another war It doesn't matter who I'm fighting for I don't stop till my country says so I don't stop till the end of the show I don't know why I hold this gun I'm just a soldier Fighting for someone I have a wife and a big ol' family I have a wife and she's waiting at home for me I cleanse my sins as I walk through that door It doesn't matter what I've done before I don't stop till my mission is done I don't stop till they tell me I've won I don't know what I'm fighting for I'm just a soldier aiming for one more My family they cover me My family they cover me All I see is what I believe I am not guilty, no I am not guilty I don't stop not even in my dreams I don't stop seeing things that I've seen I don't know why I raise this hell I'm just a soldier fighting for someone else
@LyricallyFree21 Your comment is what is saying that you apparently know me. Your telling me that i only listen to catchy mainstream just cause i think Robert Pattinson singing is bad. First of all, those artist aren't pop. Flyleaf, Breaking Benjamin isn't pop. MBLAQ is K-pop which is much different from America's pop. I actually expand my knowledge to other countries instead of listening to Kesha or Katy Perry. Second, I hate MTV. So shut up, cause your being immature.
@LyricallyFree21 Please don't assume that you know me. Because I'm the only one in my school that listens to something other than pop, hip hop and rap. I listen to music base on lyrics and the sound. A list of artist i listen to? Half of them you probably haven't even heard of. The Saturdays The Wanted Zaho Civil Twilight Muse Lily Allen St. Lola and the Field Breaking Benjamin Flyleaf 2am Club One Republic MBLAQ & many many more. I actually listen to music from outside of my country.
@kreeaytor Im just saying it shouldnt be that way. Honestly it kinda pisses me off... thats why most mainstream music is shit. because its all about looks, your right uglyness doesnt sell and thats why if you want to look at hot people than dont look for it in the music industry, look for it somewhere else. Im just saying all i want is good, soulful music
@kevinhuddle well dude. it kinda is. ino its mainly about the music. but all the big names in the music industry are at least somewhat attractive. i hate to say it but uglyness doesnt sell. the hotter you are the farther youll go. did you seriously not know that? have u been living under a rock your whole life??
@MegaTransparent Lol, Obviously someone is really upset ...Lol ...like i said I DONT KNOW U ..I've listen 2 half of those artist u listed, like Flyleaf&i love Muse.i listen & enjoy many different genres of music.A lot of J-Pop and J-Rock.Ayumi Hamasaki, Koda Kumi, Utada Hikaru, Olivia Lufkin...etc... and J-Rock --> Maximum The Hormone & Nightmare ...I listen to Sade (Jazz) --Florence and the Machine
@MegaTransparent so apparently ur sucked into Pop Modern Culture and do not know music! Thats really sad cuz i love all music and its sad that people dont look beyond MTV for good music....expand ur Music Knowledge...I know music as being meaningful and passionate and soulful....instead of catchy mainstream that u obviously ONLY listen too....smh (List me the artist u listen too)
@juniwilliams i saw it and heard it of course but i was just wondering whether he is the one who sings plays the bass and piano................that one is cool.......
Great sound and feel, I luvz dem! But ... Is this the same set as Letters From the Sky? Just reversed with a projector? Hmm.. Oh well, like it matters anyways!
Pre-order Civil Twilight's new album Holy Weather on iTunes and get Fire Escape as the instant grat track and 3 special bonus tracks only available to pre-orders! It's just enough to get you through until the album comes out next month!

This is awesome. I saw this live in Philly. It was soooooo awesome
LUV U GUYS! Dont see much about you touring currently...fact nothing...R U still?
seriously can't wait for "holy weather" to come out! preordered the album and i've been looking forward to it for a while!
Coldplay's cooler, lesser known older brother.
The one that occasionally hangs out with Muse.
It's like I went to heaven for 3 minutes and 21 seconds.
isn't it ironic how the lead singer bears a striking resemblance to Edward Cullen?? LoL [no wonder they're called Civil Twilight]

i never get tired of this song, i could listen to it all day.
my gosh, the lead singer looks a little like rob patz from.... TWILIGHT.
Shut up
As in he LOOKS like him… or as in the shots are framed so that he looks similar enough -- because, indeed, the lighting in the close-ups does make his face look like it has roughly the same shape...
Holy crap he really does.
A band that can be atmospheric and moody...and still rock HARD = sonic gold.
Dear Coldplay and Radiohead,
It's just no good anymore.
The same stuff over and over again?
That's why I leaving you.
Goodbye.

love letters in sky but this song just destroid it this song rocks!!!!!
i wonder if they need a 4th player who just stands there and jams out up there with them?

Find out what your blood-type is and you will find your blood family.
There are 8 bloodlines on Earth 🌎.
Kin slaying is a crime against humanity.
I take aim from the kitchen window
I take aim from up and down below
I take aim from the tree in your backyard
I fall asleep but I'm always on guard
I take the shots but I have no authority
I take the shots but I'm not guilty
I'm just a soldier in another war
It doesn't matter who I'm fighting for
I don't stop till my country says so
I don't stop till the end of the show
I don't know why I hold this gun
I'm just a soldier
Fighting for someone
I have a wife and a big ol' family
I have a wife and she's waiting at home for me
I cleanse my sins as I walk through that door
It doesn't matter what I've done before
I don't stop till my mission is done
I don't stop till they tell me I've won
I don't know what I'm fighting for
I'm just a soldier aiming for one more
My family they cover me
My family they cover me
All I see is what I believe
I am not guilty, no
I am not guilty
I don't stop not even in my dreams
I don't stop seeing things that I've seen
I don't know why I raise this hell
I'm just a soldier fighting for someone else
Goosebumps... these guys are talented
Easily one of my fav songs for this band! So underrated....
Welcome to Magdalyne's Blyss Holistic Healing Center Global.
They really remind me of The Police in this song. Good band.. correction, Awesome band :)

@honeybadger815
definitely Bono if he sounds like ANYONE...similarities to the fray and coldplay, but THEY sound like Bono as well, sooooo, nuff said
Great band but so underrated.
For the record, if Robert Pattinsonstarted a band it would be shit. This is real music and a good band. Don't judge on his similarities to him.
@ColdGreenChili I heard it live the other day and you could hear the bass line better and it sounded like it could have been a Police b-side.
the lead singer could be a mutated cockroach and i'd still love this band. people, let your ears decide what's good music, not your eyes.
For the record, if he started a band it would be shit. This is real music and a good band. Don't judge on his similarities to him.
hey, it's that vampire guy from that movie
Yea, i think in 30 years these guys are going to be doing a concert in Cleveland...yanno, at the Rock and Roll hall of Fame!
@shadowbunnyx Robert Pattinson is an incredible artist, he doesnt even need a band he can go solo....and dont be bias cuz he does Twilight
would love to hear mad world done by this band !!!
I hear Coldplay and Radiohead,too. That is a compliment.
@afoxe1 He doesnt even sing this kind of music...his music is kind of bluesy and heartfelt ...i dont know the particular genre
@MegaTransparent No one is saying they know u, first off and from ur listing u listen to basically the same genre...Soooo
@kreeaytor Why does it matter who is hotter than who? That's not what bands are about. It's about the music.
@LyricallyFree21 So please don't tell me that i need to expand my music knowledge when you don't even know me.
@LyricallyFree21 He can't even sing like this. When Robert sings, you hardly understand what he's saying.
@lindabphoenix actually idk bout tours but im seeing them on Saturday so they r definitely playing still
@kevinhuddle This is the comment that should be getting that 29 thumbs up. I couldn't agree more.
@JessicaRocks3 im not going to repeat my self. read back through the comments to figure it out.
this is what would happen if Robert Pattinson got a hair cut and started a rock band. :)
this is what would happen if Robert Pattinson got a hair cut and started a rock band. :)
@LyricallyFree21 I'm pretty much telling you, Robert Pattinson's singing is horrible.
that dude looks exactly like rob pattinson
2020 what America hopefully does not become
@MegaTransparent So ur telling me ur ears dont work when he's singing "Never Think"?
Who’s still here in 2024? 🇿🇦♥️
His voice is like a combination of Thom Yorke and Chris Cornell. Mmmmmm....
