First ever time in New Zealand, Valhalla Touring presents, Refused!
Swedish rock band REFUSED wasn’t just ruminating about the lasting impact of popular culture when it began its 1998 album “The Shape Of Punk To Come” with a lyric about classics never going out of style — it was also taking stock of its own turbulent existence, which met an ignominious end later that year in front of 50 kids at a basement show in a Virginia college town. Indeed, REFUSED came and went before the true power of its music could be understood, even by its own members. And in the ensuing years, the band cast a giant shadow over the world of underground rock, with the boundary-exploding “Shape” rising to all-time legendary status as it influenced a new generation of musical revolutionaries.
An offer to reunite for the 2012 Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in the California desert spurred the band back into action, and the triumphant tour that followed found REFUSED playing to heretofore inconceivably massive crowds around the world.
The group started contemplating new REFUSED music within the first four months of the reunion tour, releasing “Freedom” in June 2014. “Freedom” explodes out of the speakers as Lyxzen’s throat-shredding declaration that “nothing has changed” catapults REFUSED into the 21st century.
