REFUSED

Can I Scream?! Combining revolutionary hardcore manifestos, jazz-ambient breaks, techno sub-drops, and razor-wire guitar riffs to reshape punk's future.

Formed in Umeå, Sweden in 1991 by vocalist Dennis Lyxzén, drummer David Sandström, and guitarist Kristofer Steen. Emerging from Sweden's militant vegan straight-edge hardcore scene ('Songs to Fan the Flames of Discontent'), Refused unleashed their 1998 masterpiece 'The Shape of Punk to Come'—breaking up in an Atlanta basement weeks later before becoming one of the most influential post-hardcore records of the 21st century.
