Refused: 'The Shape Of Punk To Come' Oral History from Breaking Up the Band to Defining Their Career

Музыка

#Refused #TheShapeOfPunkToCome #Cyberpunk2077
In 1998, Refused alienated themselves from the hardcore scene while breaking out and forecasting a genre all their own with their monumental album 'The Shape Of Punk To Come.' The tension built up during the recording of the album ultimately broke up the band but went on to define their legacy and frontman Dennis Lyxzén reveals all of the details exclusively to APTV.
Lyxzén also describes the process of writing music as the fictitious band Samurai for the upcoming video game 'Cyberpunk 2077' and forecasts the NEXT shape of punk to come.

    I'm much older (1968), I became a fan of Punk/Alternative Rock soon after I saw the B-movie, RepoMan which was played off from a VHS tape back in the 80s. RepoMan was greatly entertaining flick, what was even better was its soundtrack which included Suicidal Tendencies, Blag Flag, Circle Jerks, FEAR, Iggy Pop along with others. I have been hooked on Punk ever since and now have a huge collection of recordings. Also, I'm not a huge fan of Refused but their version of Refused Is Fucking Dead from the compilation Punk O Roma kicks arse. It sounds even better when played back using headphones.

    I came home really drink one late night and heard them for the first time on mtv2 of all places. I remembered that I was blown away by them. So much so that I luckily wrote their name down that night. I woke up the next day and saw that little scrap of paper and drove down to the local record store (yes, I actually had to go to an actual store. It was that long ago). I got the shape of punk to come and haven't stopped listening to that record to this day.

    I saw them in 2012 at the fillmore in Silver Spring Maryland. I ran into Dennis before the show and he was really nice. The guy that was with him asked me how old I was and then asked if I wanted to get in the pit with him. I was 35 at the time and hadn't been in a "pit" for a long time. I said "sure" and they walked away. Halfway through Refused set,the guy appears out of nowhere and says " let's go. " so I did. I was a great moment . Dennis gave me a shout out from the stage and it was an experience I won't forget. Refused are a band that should be more well known. Thanks Dennis.

    This is One of my favourite records. I was really inspired by this record again at the time I was reading about the development and pre release press of cyberpunk. I was listening to this on my record player and at the gym and getting really influenced. I had a bunch of music written that I thought would be fitting for the character Johnny Silverhand. I talked to my spouse about how I should send my music in and see if the developers like it. Then, something like a week later they announce that Refused would be the band for this game, I was just dumbfounded. It’s like the record just suddenly had an aesthetic and cultural significance that connected me to this wavelength. Also took some of the wind out of my sails, but I do still plan on releasing the music.

    Great album - I loved ‘Summerholidays vs punkroutine’ - the lines ‘So sick of not trying/ Scared that we might fail/ We'll accomplish nothing’ - it’s great I still use it when I’m looking for motivation to do something new or different - you have to take risks, be uncomfortable, yes you might fail but so what that’s what life is all about. Living is about doing things, it’s the joy of trying - if you stay the same because it’s safe and you think you may fail that’s not living

    I love Cyberpunk 2077 and of course loved the music from Samurai and then wanted MORE music from them so, was lucky to find a mod that had some Refused songs in it. Listened to those and then was like, I need MORE again! I definitely agree with Denis about his recommendations for those that are wanting to hear more of their songs. I listened to all their older stuff but it's not my type of music. But I LOVED Born on the Outs, Damaged III, Economy of Death, Servants of Death, Electra and Blood Red. Now I added more of their songs to my daily listening and I'm really happy they changed their music style years ago. They're my current favorite band in 2024! All started for me, with the game. I hope the game brings Refused LOTS of fans! :)

    Saw them at a small club in Louisville, KY around Summer of '96 (I believe) that was way over capacity. They were touring with Snapcase and played just before them on a four or five band bill. The show was so packed and so hot that pretty much everyone was drenched in sweat like we were doing Bikram yoga. And at least one or two people passed out from heat exhaustion and had to be carried outside.

I then got into the nerve agents and then I got bored of hardcore until fucked up released hidden world since fucked up I’ve not found another hardcore band that I like. I feel like unless a band pushes the envelope I’m not interested. It’s really interesting what he says about young people not caring about genre last artists I found through the internet was odd future in late 2000s I’ve had ten years eating good off them but now Tyler’s massive and winning Grammys earls a reclusive genius poet but not household name and Frank ocean is Frank and basically the neautral milk hotel of hip hop and r&b we probably ain’t getting another Frank Ocean record. The 2020s have so far been a silent decade for me regarding new music…wetleg and that’s probably it 😅

    I’m so confused. I love this record, but it didn’t define or redefine anything. There were already bands like this. Maybe coming from a hardcore perspective it seems new. But coming from indie rock, backwards to a hardcore band that is now playing indie rock, it just sounds like a band. And really good band.
