Civilian is the debut album by British rock band Boy Kill Boy. It was released on 22 May 2006 and reached number 16 in the UK Album Chart.
Musically, the sound of Civilian has been described as dance-punk, indie rock, and synth-rock, with influences from new wave, drawing comparison to the Killers, and Interpol. The opening punk rock track, "Back Again", sets the pace of the album, with an up-tempo guitar riff and synthesizers, and is followed by the synth-pop song "On and On". "Suzie" recalled "Seaside" (2004) by the Ordinary Boys, and is followed by the indie pop song "Six Minutes". "Ivy Parker" is a ballad that was reminiscent of "All These Things That I've Done" (2004) by the Killers. The Smiths-indebted "Civil Sin" has a chorus section in the style of Good Mourning (2003)-era Alkaline Trio, and the goth punk of My Chemical Romance. "Friday Friday" details violence in a small town, and features a pseudo-ska drum pattern. "Shoot Me Down" is a ballad with a sparse arrangement, done in the vein of Morrissey and Simple Minds; the album ends with the folk-esque "Exit".
