“What am I to build, if my hands are broken, if I’m not the chosen one?” sings Steven McKellar of Civil Twilight on “Story of An Immigrant”, over a lush, dynamic beat that evokes the sounds of his native South Africa while steeped in the band’s everevolving present. The foursome (Steven, his brother and guitarist Andrew, drummer Richard Wouters and Kevin Dailey on keys and guitar) are living proof of what happens when you stop worrying about being the chosen one and make music built on both the roots that grew you and the love that keeps you thriving every day. Civil Twilight’s songs embrace every corner of human emotion, balancing delicate, poetic lyrics with sweeping arrangements that touch all the senses: a phrase to make you think; a rolling drumbeat you can feel in your bones; a guitar vamp as illustrative as a picture; a shimmer of keys whose light can nearly be seen and heard. Produced by Ben H. Allen (Gnarls Barkley, Bombay Bicycle Club, Cut Copy), their third record on Wind-Up is built on this vibrancy, on the permanent dust of a Cape Town youth; on the connection that unites them all as brothers beyond blood and on their new home in America where they pull from the innate, thriving musicianship of Nashville, where they live. When you listen to Civil Twilight, from their self-titled debut, to 2012’s widely lauded Holy Weather to now, it’s easy to understand why the band has topped five million YouTube views and reached historic success with film and television syncs – because it’s music you can’t shake, that translates experience into moments and creates melodies that become imbedded deep under the skin. We’re all immigrants, in some way, and Civil Twilight’s singing our national anthem.

Not quite so traditional folk.

Standard Crow Behavior are:

Judith Beckedorf
Voice, Mandolin, Banjo

Steve Voltz
Voice, Guitar

Filip Sommer
Voice, Violin, Mandolin

A single silver microphone glimmers elegantly from the center of the stage. Two tall gentlemen and one small lady step into the light with their instruments and sing about a man, searching for his lost love even after many years. Ultimately he will never find her, in fact the two have never met... Not every song from the German-American trio Standard Crow Behavior is so bizarre. They are also about departure, the desire to forget, eternal love and aging; they describe the forces which move everyone and everything, and question of the right path of life.
The name of the band is drawn from a traditional American radio show, but the three young musicians don’t feel at home only with old-timey bluegrass. They all write songs and create a flowing blend of traditional folk, modern pop, intricately arranged compositions and jazz. Without pause, the guitar, banjo, mandolin and violin are swapped between songs with somnambulistic surety. These three are versatile in their active development of a new concept: Chamber Folk.
Their strong three-part harmony weaves a layer of sound needing no special effects, allowing listeners to take pause and enjoy a moment of standstill. Standard Crow Behavior plays music which speaks for itself. Completely pure. Sung and played string by string. Through one microphone.

Epitaph Records is an independent music label founded in Los Angeles by Bad Religion guitarist Brett Gurewitz. Early releases from a variety of punk heavyweights spawned what became known as the 90s punk explosion. 

Along the way Epitaph proudly launched its sister label ANTI-, representing unique and distinguished acts. From the beginning Epitaph’s mission has been to serve the musicians on its diverse and creative roster - an artist-first model, radical twenty years ago, and much imitated today.
