Welcome to "Dystopian Dreams & Punk Anthems," where we talk to Jim McCullough, the lead singer of Australian punk band CIVIC, about their latest album, "Taken by Force." In this episode, we dive into the inspiration behind CIVIC's music, the band's views on the relationship between punk and the mainstream, and the importance of honest songwriting in their music.

We also get a glimpse into CIVIC's creative process and the honesty that drives their songwriting. Jim discusses how the album's dystopian overtones may not be the actual story behind the songs.
