Since their first show at the inaugural One Spark festival, "DIY" indie rockers Civil Brute have become a favorite in the Jacksonville music scene.With influences ranging from from Broken Social Scene to Radiohead, their name represents the dichotomy of human survival in the modern age.
Civil Brute will return to One Spark this year to fund their next venture. Having completed their debut record since last year's festival, their new goal is to win funding to build their own infrastructure for touring, production, distribution, merchandising and promotions—or in their words, "build a team to propel our band to an international level."
The band will also be performing at various venues throughout this year's festival. Civil Brute joined Melissa Ross in Studio 5 to talk One Spark and give a special preview performance.
