Discipline is a Street Rock 'n Roll band, hailing from Eindhoven, Holland. These guys have been around since 1990. In the early days they had a different name and a different line-up. The current line-up is:

Joost de Graaf - Vocals
Carlo Geerlings - Bass
Erik Wouters - Guitar
Joost Strijbos - Drums

After 5 years of struggling and making some demo-tapes, in 1995 Discipline signed to Lost&Found Records from Germany. The 1st release was the 5-track "Stompin' Crew EP" in the summer of 1995. This one was followed up by their 1st album "Guilty as Charged" in 1996. The reactions to this dynamite Streetcore-album were overwhelmingly positive and the guys did a lot of shows, including a european tour with The Business, to promote this album all over Europe. Early 1998 the "Bulldog Style"-album was released, also by L&F Records. On this record Discipline already tried to combine the best of both worlds: Oi meets Hardcore. This album was a huge succes again in the underground scene. Through hard work, the band gained itself a reputation of doing very energetic liveshows. But like always, there was also another side to the coin……The amount of violence and fights at shows was growing and after a while Discipline almost got crucified for that. Luckily, after some time the air cleared and the negative publicity stopped. Unfortunately after some time the relationship between band and recordlabel went downhill. The band decided to leave and signed to the upcoming Belgian label I Scream Records.

The first release for the new label was the "Nice Boys Finish last"-album in 1999. With this release Discipline definitely earned herself a place on top of the entire European Street Rock 'n Roll-scene. To promote this album Discipline did a few European tours again with the likes of Agnostic Front, Dropkick Murphy's and US Bombs. These Dutch thugs also managed to get this album released in the US by Too Damn Hype Records.

This record was followed by the "Love thy Neighbor"-album towards the end of 2000. One month earlier the "Hooligans Heaven EP" was already released. This song turned out to be a hit in the underground-scene and in the Hardcore football crowd. To promote the album, Discipline was part of the "UNITY-Tour 2000", with the likes of Agnostic Front, Ignite, Shutdown and The Forgotten.

Through lots of touring and doing shows, Discipline has earned herself a large crowd of loyal supporters all over Europe. Besides doing several headlining tours, the band has also shared the stage with the likes of Agnostic Front, The Business, Cock Sparrer, Madball, Sick of it All, Dropkick Murphy's, Cockney Rejects, Warzone and Ignite. The last few years they managed to play at all the major European festivals like Dynamo Open Air, Holidays in the Sun, With Full Force, Vans Warped Tour and the European HC Parties!

With their latest album "Saints & Sinners", Discipline have proven to be top of the bill when it comes down to Street Rock 'n Roll. This new album is the real Sound of the Streets: 12 hardhitting, melodic singalongs with attitude! In november the lads will be part of the 2002 Eastpack Resistance-tour. So make sure to check these thugs out when they come to visit your town!

'Saints & Sinners" is released by GMM Records in the USA. The two previous records "Love Thy Neighbor" and "Nice Boys Finish Last" will also be available through GMM in the course of the upcoming months.
