Disciple

Disciple (also known as 'The Black Bloc') were a Punk/Rock band from Cardiff, active between 2011 and 2013. It's lineup consisted of Rhys Takel (vocals), Jake Takel (drums), Josh Dickins (guitar), and Joe Sewell (bass). Although they recorded a rough, two-song demo in 2012, the band never put out any formal releases.

Formation and Early Days (2011-2012)
Disciple was formed in 2010 in it's sole line-up, as a reformation and reboot of the long-defunct punk band, 'Kamikaze Veterans'. The band practiced and wrote songs over the winter of  2011, and began gigging in February 2012. After playing a handful of shows in the first few months of that year, the band recorded a two song demo with Khalid Awad-Khan, to be released a month or so later.

First EP and Disbandment
After continued gigging around South Wales, the band set to record it's first EP, engineered by Jake Takel and Josh Dickins. Although the recording itself was completed without issue, tensions within the band held the EP back from going through the mixing process and was never released.

Although there was no formal breakup of the band, there has been no activity since their last gig in March, 2012.

Style and Influences
Disciple was primarily a rock band, largely influenced by Rage Against the Machine and Soundgarden, with frequent reference to Hardcore Punk bands such as Minor Threat and Black Flag.
