Welcome to the universe of Midlife Mayhem, the new LP by Civil Protection. Seventeen punk rock tracks that hit you like a brick in a minute and a half.
Guitar solos? Not a chance. It’s 2025: nobody has time for that.
Midlife Mayhem (La Ruidosa Records, 2025) covers the entire punk spectrum: from the raw noise of the ‘77 scene, through the dizzying speed of ‘82, to pretending they can play and brushing against the melody of ‘94. The result is an album loaded with biting irony, sharp social criticism, and self-deprecation, where the band can't stop laughing at itself… and, above all, at you.
This album is not just music; it’s an irreverent ode with an eye on the midlife crisis, where Civil Protection spits on its own responsibilities and yours. Bills? Kids? Doesn’t matter. The only thing that counts is hitting the road for what really matters: punk rock and the recognition of a bunch of strangers in an eternal circle pit.
