About Refused
The Swedish hardcore band Refused was formed in 1991 by vocalist Denni Lyxzén, guitarists Jon Brännström and Kristofer Steen, bassist Magnus Höggren and drummer David Sandström. Debuting in 1993 with the EP This Is the New Deal, the group issued the full-length This Just Might Be...the Truth later that same year. The Everlasting EP followed in 1994, and in 1995 Refused returned with another EP, Refused Loves Randy. After 1996's Fan the Flames of Discontent, they issued the EP Rather Be Dead; in the wake of completing 1998's The Shape of Punk to Come, Refused disbanded, unable to reconcile their anarchist leanings with a career in music.

yeah, I just tried it again and it did work that time. Maybe PV was just being lame that day.

Ah, Refused. The soundtrack to walking to school when I was seventeen, and many a drunken night touching base to New Noise at Juvi Hall. It still ranks as one of my favourite hardcore albums, I even love the pomposity of it all.
If people are loving Refused's ' The Shape of Punk To Come' then I highly recommend Canvas' 2000 opus 'Lost In Rock'. It's playing with a lot of the same ideas, and although it's a bit lacking in focus in parts it still packs a lot of punch and they were one of the few bands to try and explore the same kinds of areas Refused did so well.

Thanks for the recommendation.

Also, if you're into that, The Rise had a short, but moderately successful career (for a hardcore band, anyway) drawing upon a lot of ideas from Refused: http://www.riserock.com/
