Civilian, Boy Kill Boy's debut album, dropped on 22 May 2006 and climbed to number 16 on the UK album chart. The Leytonstone four-piece came together in 2004, when singer and guitarist Chris Peck and his old schoolfriend, drummer Shaz Mahmood, regrouped after years in a post-Britpop outfit, added keyboardist Pete Carr and found bassist Kevin Chase at a house party.
John Cornfield produced the sessions at Sawmills Studios in Golant, Cornwall, and it's all nervy dance-punk drive: synth stabs, hi-hats ticking like a bomb and Peck yelping over the top. "Suzie" had already been out on Fierce Panda in 2005, and a re-release made it the band's biggest single, while Zane Lowe named "Civil Sin" his "Hottest Track In The World Today" and "Back Again" got them onto Top of the Pops. Only one more album, Stars and the Sea, followed before the split in 2008.
