CIV was a band from New York City. The band is named after its vocalist, Anthony Civarelli. Three of the band's members (Civarelli, Smilios and Schreifels) were members of Gorilla Biscuits. Band member Siegler played in other hardcore bands, including Youth Of Today, Judge and Gorilla Biscuits.

After the break-up of Gorilla Biscuits, Civarelli opened a tattoo parlor on Long Island. After the band Quicksand had signed to a major label, Schreifels re-united a late version of his former band, wrote a record and produced it, resulting in Set Your Goals. His presence was notably^{[citation needed]} absent on their second full length album, Thirteen Day Getaway. Shortly after releasing Thirteen Day Getaway, CIV disbanded in 2000.

They are best known^{[citation needed]} for the single Can't Wait One Minute More, which was released as a music video and used in a Nissan automobile commercial^[where?] during the middle of 2005. Lou Koller from hardcore band Sick Of It All provided additional vocal tracks for the song. Songs "All Twisted", "Haven't Been Myself in a While", and "Something Special" were also featured on the T.V. Show What's New, Scooby-Doo?.
