Civic Video are a Sydney indie rock band made up of Zac Newton-John, Belle Whitwell, Riley Maher and Josh Handel. Blending emotionally charged songwriting with driving guitars, cinematic textures and soaring melodies, the band have crafted a sound that's both fresh and nostalgic. Drawing inspiration from the likes of DMAs, Gang of Youths and Catfish and the Bottlemen, Civic Video write honest songs that wear their heart on their sleeve—delivered with conviction, emotion and an undeniable sense of purpose. On stage, they channel the expansive emotion of Holy Holy with the  infectious energy of Sam Fender, delivering performances that are as intimate as they are anthemic.

The band burst onto the national stage with a standout performance at Lost Paradise 2024 before taking their debut East Coast tour on the road. Since then they've shared stages with The Rions, The Vanns, South Summit, Eliza & The Delusionals, Rum Jungle and Daily J, while their most recent headline shows throughout 2026 have all sold out, cementing their reputation as one of Australia's most exciting emerging live acts.

Civic Video continue to refine a sound that balances atmosphere with urgency. Along the way they've twice been named Triple J Unearthed Track of the Day, received consistent support across triple j and community radio, and landed editorial placements on Spotify's Fresh Finds and Apple Music's New In Rock.

With more than one million streams and over 25,000 monthly Spotify listeners, Civic Video are quickly establishing themselves as one of Australia's most compelling new indie rock bands. Equal parts fresh and nostalgic, they're the band you're relieved to finally discover—one with a catalogue you can truly sink your teeth into. Their songs become the soundtrack to life's defining moments, leaving audiences certain they've just found their new favourite band.
