Refused Are Not Fucking Dead

[DANCE MAGIC]

yeah. that review is very well written and good.

[bobert]

Calling someone a Philistine is an awesome insult that needs to happen more.

[DANCE MAGIC]

That is true and it seems like there are so many opportunities for it, given the current state of our society.

Internet tough guys talking about Refused reminds me of my favorite review of anything, ever:

This is the best thing ever.

Oh my barf.

[send me ctrpllrs]

42 seconds of that shit, I couldn't listen any longer.

[greghead]

[malcolmjamalawesome]

You're welcome.

Just realized that the vocalist fronted the International Noise Conspiracy...derp

[vulcandeathgrip]

I hate that Bloody Beetroots remix so much it makes my teeth hurt. I am not opposed to a remix ( I like some of the others ) but messing with lyrics in such a way that it tears the soul and meaning out the original is heresy !

[malcolmjamalawesome]

Would the deluxe of Shape of Punk to Come be a good place to start with these guys?

[Phantasma Del Mar]

Yup. Get Songs to Fan the Flames of Discontent after that.

yep, "songs to flame..." is great, shows them developing the sound they refined into "The Shape..." I like all the earlier more straight up punk stuff too.

Been listening to Refused (for the first time ever) these last few days. I'll be damned if the drumming isn't the tightest I've ever heard on a punk/hardcore record. Who the hell is this guy?

[bahlNYC]

hells yes. im cooler than most because i saw them in 1997 in a vfw hall in nj and i got mic like a mo fo. they were fucking energetic and their pre song banter was hilarious. hope their power works in the big stage scene at coachella with the west coast woosie pussies.

of all the coachella lineups ever released, there has never been one where i've had to actually stop reading the poster due to excitement over one band. i saw refused on the poster and i fucking lost it. i didnt finish reading the rest of the lineup until about an hour later. to me this is a holy grail reunion right here

long live refused

You seem to forget we showed you east coasters how to tear it up at a show.

[greghead]

You mean in the early 1980s? While it's true, I don't think that counts anymore now that we're 30 years on.


And we'll show them how to get down. I've been waiting 14 years for this; I'm bringing no less than a pound of confetti for this set.


EDIT:

Yes. Exactly.

If you are new to Refused I hope you are as blown away with the whole package as I was when I discovered them. Yes David is a freakishly tight drummer ( my personal favorite examples of his dexterity are The Deadly Rhythm & the build up at the intro to Rather Be Dead. ) For me it so rare to come across a band like this that ticks all my boxes - musically groundbreaking with out regard to genre, lyrics that are meaningful & thought provoking all wrapped in an ethos that I respect & appreciate. For me they come as close to satisfying what I look for in a band as anyone since Fugazi.

When I think actually getting to witness them live I get all tingly and shit...

[rambleonfreddy]

Anyone doing the SF show as well? Driving out to SF with friends from Orange County on Wednesday morning, flying back down thursday, then driving out that same day for weekend 2!

[suprefan]

[GeezrRckr]

Wow, they sound tight. I hope they show up at some more festivals.

[suprefan]

Pay them like Coachella is paying them, and sure.

[paulb]

WOW! What quality sounding footage! Impressive! This should be nuts!

[vulcandeathgrip]

Wow, they sound tight. I hope they show up at some more festivals.

They have been steadily announcing shows so you never know where they may pop up.

Seeing this kind of footage exponentially increases my excitement, I may not sleep for days now...

Anyone a little bummed Coachella won't be their "first" reunion show anymore? Cool footage though.

Because it was in Sweden, no. Coachella will still be their first show outside of their own country.
