Legendary hardcore band Refused have introduced the ultimate reveals of their ongoing farewell tour, set to happen of their house nation of Sweden. Moreover, drummer David Sandström has revealed plans for the members of Refused to kind a brand new band.
After embarking on a a fall tour of UK and Europe in October, in addition to taking part in three reveals in South America, Refused will finish their profession with eight reveals in Sweden, culminating with a closing live performance of their hometown of Umea on December twenty first. Every of the gigs in Sweden will function a distinct mixture of opening acts, with Youth Code amongst them.
In a prolonged submit on Instagram, Sandström defined why Refused are breaking apart, citing the band’s unfavourable impact on his friendship with singer Dennis Lyxzén, whereas asserting plans for the brand new band:
“Good day, that is David talking. A couple of individuals have insinuated that like another bands who, within the vogue of the nice Larry David, stop with bells, whistles (and blood raining from a lacerating sky) solely to return inside just a few years as if nothing had occurred, Refused would do the identical. Properly, we received’t, and that i really feel the necessity to elucidate.
We solely broke up as soon as and it was involuntary. Most of you may not keep in mind however on the finish of our reunion yr 2012 we stored issues ambigious in our closing assertion: “The hatchet is buried … we’re going house”, for believable deniability, as a result of we weren’t positive our try at a everlasting reunion would fly. It did, however solely up to now. The explanations for ending the band are legion, however the two most vital ones are:
1. Refused was by no means good for mine and Dennis’ relationship, we each have our personal thought of what the band ought to be and the way we must always behave and by no means the twain shall meet. And we’d fairly be associates than play in a well-liked band.
2. A brand new band has been born throughout the band and we (Mattias, Magnus, Dennis and me) need to discover that, a band with no baggage, no followers to please, restricted solely by our wildest musical hopes and desires. We’re very enthusiastic about getting round to taming this new wild beast.
However earlier than all that, we now have some enterprise to take care of. The final of the final reveals are quickly upon us and it’s come collectively higher than we may have hoped for. The lineups are stacked with outdated associates, comrades and collaborators in addition to a number of the finest newer bands within the heavy, punk and/or violent music spectrum.”
