DETROIT, MI – August 1, 2025 — Progressive rock veterans Discipline are proud to unveil their highly anticipated studio album, Breadcrumbs, released worldwide today through new.progrock.com/’s Essentials, an acclaimed independent label dedicated to progressive music.

Formed in Detroit in 1987, Discipline has long been heralded as one of America’s most inventive and enduring progressive rock acts. Known for their intricate compositions, theatrical live shows, and fiercely independent spirit, the band has cultivated a devoted global following. With Breadcrumbs, Discipline reaffirms their status as modern prog torchbearers, delivering an ambitious, emotionally rich listening experience that bridges the gap between tradition and innovation.

Mixed by legendary producer Terry Brown (Rush, Fates Warning) and adorned with stunning artwork by visionary artist Hugh Syme, Breadcrumbs features five expansive tracks that fuse cinematic arrangements, compelling melodies, and nuanced polyrhythms into a vivid sonic tapestry. The result is a bold, immersive album that captures the essence of Discipline’s artistry while forging new creative territory.

“This is an album made for the headphone listener, the vinyl enthusiast, and the progressive rock devotee who wants to be transported,” says Discipline vocalist and keyboardist Matthew Parmenter. “Breadcrumbs invites listeners to follow the musical trail through stories of longing, confrontation, and transformation.”

The album’s first single, “When the Night Calls to Day,” is available now on streaming platforms and YouTube:

“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 band has just finished recording its fifth studio album with current members Paul Dzendzel (drums), Mathew Kennedy (bass guitar), Chris Herin (lead guitar), and Matthew Parmenter (vocals and keyboards).
