Bitumen - Discipline Reaction
A good life requires balance, so after beginning the day with some dreamy jangle pop, we bring you some excellent music in a different vein. Discipline Reaction is a substantial work of post punk industrial rock -- loud, confident, aggressive, and very, very sharply written and performed. The album is the work of Melbourne four-piece Bitumen, who last graced these pages about 18-months ago for their cassette split single with No Sister (link). While that earlier work gave us a taste of the band's talent, we are nevertheless blown away by the nine tracks here. The songs are the complete package, not only superbly performed metal-tinged post punk, but sharply written nuggets of dark, sinister rock. This is completely captivating stuff, and we recommend you give it a listen.
Bitumen are Kate, Sam, Bryce, and Simon. Discipline Reaction is out now in digital and vinyl formats via Melbourne label Vacant Valley.
