CIV is an American punk rock band from New York named after its vocalist, Anthony Civarelli. Three of the band (Civarelli, Sammy Siegler and Arthur Smilios) were members of Gorilla Biscuits, whilst Siegler also played in other hardcore bands, including Youth of Today and Judge.

After his band Quicksand signed to a major label, Walter Schreifels re-united a late version of his former band, wrote a record and produced it, resulting in Set Your Goals.

Prior to the recording of their second full-length album, Thirteen Day Getaway, Smilios was replaced by Cache Tolman. Shortly after release, they disbanded in 2000.

They reunited for a series of one-off shows, including New York’s Black N Blue Bowl in 2008, Belgium’s Groezrock Festival in 2011 and September 7, 2012 at the Webster Hall in New York City.

CIV is known for the single “Can’t Wait One Minute More”, which was released as a music video. It featured on Beavis and Butt-head and was used in a Nissan automobile commercial during the middle of 2005. Lou Koller from hardcore band Sick of It All provided additional vocal tracks for the song.
