PHILADELPHIA, PA | DECEMBER 8, 2016: Philadelphia's rising indie alternative/rock band Civil Youthhave been making noise touring the country, opening for bands like Twenty One Pilots and AWOLNATION, and amazing fans with their energetic live performance and leaving them highly anxious for new music. Recently, Civil Youth announced the official release date for their third full-length studio album, Conversations, which is to be released on May 19, 2017. Last night, the band partnered exclusively with idobi Radio to unveil the first of their studio video series titled, "Making Conversation," taking fans behind the scenes and into the studio with the trio. The series will be posted on idobi.com from now until the album's release in the Spring. This is what singer Michael Kepko had to say about the series' release: "'Making Conversation: Studio Updates from Civil Youth' is a mini documentary series depicting Civil Youth's time in the studio recording our 3rd full length album, "Conversations" which is set for release May 19th, 2017. Through turbulent and some of the best times of our lives, watch what it's like to record parts, talk with the band, and see inside what a day in the studio is like. This series will depict what it's really like to be in a band from all aspects as well as capture the energy of the record itself. "Conversations", which happens to be a concept album, tells our story of comparing our present day selves to people we once were, as well as people we want to be. This record enhances everything about Civil Youth, and truly lets our voices be heard. In this first video of the series, our goal is to get those points across. We cannot wait to release the full album, but for now, let your imagination run wild!" - Michael Kepko
