Civil Twilight – Wasted

Biography
Cape Town, South Africa (1996 – present)
Originally hailing from Cape Town, South Africa, Civil Twilight is a power trio that draws parallels with Pilot Speed and is especially known for their similar sound to early U2, Muse, Jeff Buckley, and Radiohead. Their music has been described as having impassioned vocals and stirring, alt-rock songcraft. Brothers Andrew and Steven McKellar were raised in a musical household, having explored their father’s jazz collection at a young age while listening to their classically trained mother play piano. In November 1996, Andrew launched a teenaged band with help from his high school classmate, guitarist Richard Wouters. The two scheduled an inaugural rehearsal for the following month; in the interim, Andrew discovered that his younger brother, Steven, could sing and write songs. The three musicians subsequently banded together, with Steven agreeing to master the bass and Wouters giving up the guitar (which Andrew also played) to learn drums.

Night is Cold; 6. Every Walk...; 7. Highway of Fallen Kings; 8. Wasted; 9. It's Over; 10. Church on Fire; 11. Shape of a Sound; 12. Sweet Resistance; 13. Please Don't Find Me; 14. Surrender; 15. Doorway.
