Festival News: RoSfest Announces Discipline For The 2012 Edition

Posted on Tuesday, December 13 @ 01:10:00 UTC by nightowl

RoSfest is thrilled to announce that US band Discipline have been signed for the 2012 edition of the Rites of Spring Festival.

Some bands become legends in their own time. Due to quality of material, lengthy tenures or timing. Being at the right place at the right time have made just as many careers as anything else. And while Detroit, Michigan may not have been the right place, the mid 1990's was certainly the right time for Discipline to appear. With two top notch albums released to an audience that didn't have too many new US prog bands to choose between, Discipline quickly became a legendary act. Perhaps more in the US than internationally, but they are a revered act also outside of the US border.

John Preston Bouda, Paul Dzendzel, Matthew Kennedy and Matthew Parmenter have toured at home and abroad, issued studio albums, live albums and live DVDs, have put their band on hiatus and reformed. In 2011 they released their third studio album To Shatter All Accord, a disc 14 years in the making. Like their first two albums from the 1990s this latest production has been very well received, further cementing this band's reputation as a legendary and highly influential act.

2012 will mark the 4th year since Discipline reformed and the 25th year anniversary of their formation, and we're extremely happy that part of their celebration will be in the company of fellow artists and progressive rock fans at the Rites Of Spring Festival. And with an album's worth of new material to present, even seasoned fans of this act will have a lot to look forward to when Discipline hits the stage at ROSfest in May 2012.

Check out the new track "Dead City" from the new album To Shatter All Accord here.
