Swedish hardcore punk band Refused is set to kick off its last North American tour after a tumultuous few years marked by a pandemic hiatus and the health crisis of frontman Dennis Lyxzén. Following a decade-long breakup and reuniting efforts, the band faced adversity when plans for a major performance were thwarted by Lyxzén's heart attack. With a recent anniversary re-release of their iconic album 'The Shape of Punk to Come', the band reflects on their legacy as they embrace a celebratory spirit during their final performances.
It was a bit of a bummer. [It was] such a Refused thing to do.
The vibes have never been better. We're having such a great time practicing. We're learning every song in the book. ... The pressure's off.
Creating a record like 'Shape' is truly one of the more extraordinary feats of my life, but it's also this weird thing that just hovers above us.
Refused are going out just as it's finally starting to have fun again.
