A Norwegian-based foursome featuring Ken Stringfellow when he isn’t attending his day job with the Pixies, the Disciplines are less like their name than Stringfellow’s involvement would imply. This is not carefully manicured pop music but tough, edgy rock ‘n’ roll, with plenty of snarling guitars being matched with razor edge vocals. “Fate’s A Strong Bitch,” featuring No Wave rocker-legend Lydia Lunch, is a hyped-up rockabilly tune gone punk. The tough strut of “For You I Walked Over The Line” is the kind of streetwise punk/ hard rock that is always in shorter supply than it seems. The less- than-two-minute “Some Kind Of Sickness” is so much stronger than punk-pop tunes twice its length. The lessons of the late-‘70s/ early-‘80s new-wave scene are remembered well. Posies fans may be surprised to hear their hero sounding so carefree, but tunes such as “Kill The Killjoy,” “Complicated Times” and “Emily” are so enthusiastic that the primal power and joy is positively infectious.
