Posies co-leader Ken Stringfellow hooks up with a Norwegian garage band as a member and The Disciplines is the result and it kicks butt and is highly melodious, as well. "8 out of 10. Lead Vocals: Ken Stringfellow. The Posies Ken Stringfellow? Holy crap. Well I guess Ken wanted to explore this side of his musical personality, nothing wrong with that. If you are looking for a tougher version of The White Stripes or Jet then you`ve come to the right place. Ken teamed up with the Norwegian band Briskeby consisting of drummer Claus Larsen, bassist Baard Helgeland and guitarist Bjorn Bergene, and they quickly developed this aggressive style. The group struts it`s stuff with the opener "Your For The Taking" and summons some glam goodness with "Get It Right." After a few listens it reveals Ken`s melodic tendencies underneath all those riffs, on "Best Mistake" and "Falling Knives."..For these tough times, sometimes power pop has to get tough. " - PowerPopAHolic. "Make mild-mannered Dr. Bruce Banner angry or anxious and suddenly he is the raging-green Hulk. Put Hollies-influenced harmonizer Ken Stringfellow in front of a gnarly Norwegian garage band and he is instantly all Iggy Pop snarl. Like-structured songs such as the glammy "Get It Right" and the scratchy, speed-shifting "Falling Knives" fly by like a quarter-mile drag race, most clocking in at under three minutes. The production and instrumentation are spare and the vocal attitude is tough, yet the proceedings are rife with unconventional melody and song-structure reminiscent of early Squeeze. Here is hoping these Norsemen keep Stringfellow high-strung for a long time to come." NewsOK.
