"Western Civ has linked up with veteran producer Mitch Easter (R.E.M., Superchunk, Pavement) in their new home state of North Carolina. The indie foursome will commence recording their third record in May 2008 under Easter's guidance at his Fidelitorium Studios in Kernsville." Lora Kolodny - CMJ Music News

-----------------

(following a reference to Superchunk)"Western Civ does that Merge flagship proud..." Spencer Griffith - The Independent Weekly (Chapel Hill,NC) (Feb 20, 2008)

-------------------

"Welcome Alabama transplants Western Civ, whose dark, chunky, post-punk churn ought to feel at home in the birthplace of Archers of Loaf and Polvo..." "...Tracks like "Secret Lives of Viceroys" move in a moody, wind-and-swoon cycle, building into satisfying, detailed tapestries." --Chris Parker - The Independent Weekly (NC) (Dec 12, 2007)

-------------------

MIDPOINT MUSIC FESTIVAL CRITIC'S PICK: Western Civ (Chapel Hill, N.C.) Indie Making bug-eyed, imaginative Indie Rock with wiry guitar texturing and effective, spectral melodies, Alabama-bred quartet Western Civ released its debut EP in late 2005, having spent a few years writing and recording several albums' worth of material. This past spring, the band finally leaked more material, via its debut full-length, Remington Steel Magnolia. --Mike Breen, City Beat, Cincinnati(Sep 27, 2007)

-------------------

(About LP Remington Steel Magnolia) "...the record reveals an honesty that is missing from many of today’s up-and-comers..." "The best quality of Remington Steel Magnolia is the players’ ability to come together and achieve their specific, fuzzy sound, rather than focusing on the performance of individual members. Even the lead vocal is treated as just another instrument in the mix, which usually works in the band’s favor." --William Cane - Performer Magazine (Sep 1, 2007)

-------------------

"Western Civ Is An Undiscovered Gem You're Shocked Hasn't Been Signed Yet."..."To listen to songs from Western Civ's EP, Regent Kingfish Slumberpad, you instantly see that this is a band that's going places." --Graydon Smith - indiemusicxposed.com (Feb 8, 2007)
