Discipline bio
"Discipline weaves a wicked web of lush,
whimsical melodies, cynical stories and
melancholy theatrics—so disturbing some
fans have pegged lead-man Matthew
Parmenter as 'unstable,'" writes Heidi Olmac
in Detroit's Orbit newspaper. New Zealand
rock critic Kev Rowland describes Discipline
as "one of the most important bands to come
out of America in the last 25 years." Based in
Detroit, Michigan, Discipline has performed
and recorded together since 1987. The
current members are Chris Herin (electric
guitar), Mathew Kennedy (bass guitar), Henry
Parmenter (drums), and Matthew Parmenter
(vocals and keyboards).
Discipline has announced their signing with
acclaimed independent label
ProgRock.com’s Essentials for the release of
their studio album, Breadcrumbs. Marking a
bold new chapter for the veteran Detroit
band, Breadcrumbs is set for worldwide
release in August 2025. Mixed by legendary
producer Terry Brown (Rush, Fates
Warning) and featuring the striking imagery of
renowned artist Hugh Syme, Breadcrumbs
showcases Discipline’s signature blend of
musical depth and emotional complexity
across five expansive new tracks.
Following the overwhelming success of Terry
Brown’s 2022 remix of Discipline’s
masterpiece Unfolded Like Staircase,
ProgRock.com officially launched their record
label, which has since released albums by
multiple well-known artists (Chester
Thompson, Unitopia, Sonus Umbra). In his
interview with Germany's Eclipsed magazine,
Terry Brown named Discipline's "Unfolded
Like Staircase" in his list of "Top 5 Non-Rush
Productions."

The U.S. record label Laser's Edge released
Discipline's previous studio album "Captives
of the Wine Dark Sea," which Chris Cope of
Prog Magazine described as a “tour de force”
of “emotive, ardent music.” Discipline's self
released album "To Shatter All Accord"
includes the 25 minute song suite "Rogue."
John Collinge, publisher of Progression
Magazine, acknowledged this album with the
publication’s highest marks in his review (16
out of 16 stars). The band's first CD "Push &
Profit" introduced Discipline to an
international audience supported by tour
dates in Norway.
The band’s earliest live shows were
memorable for unusual theatrics. Parmenter
(a.k.a. the Magic Acid Mime) wore different
costumes to act out the songs. Though the
costumes have gone away in recent years,
spontaneity remains a hallmark of Discipline's
stage presence. "I think most of it comes
from playing live," says Parmenter in The
Observer and Eccentric newspaper. "If
something goes wrong, it's kind of interesting
how you will get out of it."
Several notable rock festivals have
welcomed Discipline to their stages, including
Mexico’s FestivAlterNativo in Querétaro,
Italy's renowned 2Days Prog+1, Chicago's
Peacefest and Progtoberfest, UK's Summers
End festival, RoSfest (Rites of Spring festival)
in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, a performance
that was videotaped and is now available
streaming via Amazon Instant video,
NEARfest (the Northeast Art Rock Festival),
Terra Incognita (Quebec Canada), the
ProgStock music festival in New Jersey,
ProgScape and Orion Studios (Baltimore,
Maryland), and ProgDay (Chapel Hill, North
Carolina). Jeff Milo of Ferndale Friends
newspaper writes, "Go online and you'll find
various zines, blogs, and sites devoted to
'prog' music sending some substantial love
toward Detroit's Discipline."
