Civil Protection are carving out a niche for themselves within the Yorkshire music scene with their sharper, more immediate brand of melodic post-rock. Citing influences like Caspian and maybeshewill, they are all set to release their debut album on October 7th under West Yorkshire-based independent label Bunnysnot Records. A full UK tour is planned in support of the release.

Civil Protection have supported a diverse selection of acts, including Glaswegian math-rock up-and-comers Vasa, and established Indie darlings The Indelicates. Their energetic live performance and unique take on the genre have helped to establish them as true "local heroes", as described by Huddersfield's Raconteur Magazine.

I spent my youth screaming down a mic, and in later life I have transitioned to writing solo at home. Main instruments are guitar and a variety of VSTs.
