\nGroundbreaking Band To Play Coachella and Way Out West Festival<\/strong><\/p>\n

The groundbreaking, highly influential Swedish hardcore band Refused <\/strong>have announced a series of shows scheduled for summer 2012. This is the band\u2019s first appearance since their breakup in the late \u201890s and will include performances at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival<\/a> on April 13th and 20th and the Way Out West Festival in Sweden Aug 9-11.<\/p>\n

Refused have released the following statement and the full statement can be found here: \u00a0\u00a0www.officialrefused<\/strong>.com<\/a>\u00a0<\/cite><\/em><\/p>\n

…It’s been a motley 14 years since our band came apart. We’ve all kept busy in our respective endeavors but we’ve all remained friends and kept in touch. There have been offers, and lots of jokes about these offers. We’ve sort of looked down from our high horses and made fun of people who’ve just wanted to share the psychopathic intensity that we would deliver on a nightly basis in our post-pubescent prime. A reunion has just seemed irrelevant to us. Too much other shit to do\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u2026We never did “The Shape of Punk To Come” justice back when it came out, too tangled up in petty internal bickering to really focus on the job. And suddenly there’s this possibility to do it like it was intended. We wanna do it over, do it right. For the people who’ve kept the music alive through the years, but also for our own sakes\u2026<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n

Originally released in 1998, The Shape of Punk to Come <\/em>\u00a0\u201cblurred the lines that separate punk, metal and hardcore, while peppering this brutal fusion with bits of techno percussion, jazzy rhythmic change-ups and long, complex song structures that support politically-charged messages,\u201d (CMJ<\/span>,1998).\u00a0 Refused\u2019s most critically acclaimed and final album exploded on the scene with the jaw-dropping hardcore anthem \u201cNew Noise,\u201d which helped change the game forever by influencing a range of genres to this day, which includes being named \u201cBest New Re-issue\u201d by Pitchfork.com in 2010.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
