REFUSED: Video Footage Of ‘Secret’ Stockholm Show

Reunited seminal Swedish hardcore band REFUSED played a “secret” show this past Friday, March 30 at Debaser Medis in Sotckholm, Sweden.

Video footage of the gig can be seen below.

REFUSED‘s first concert in 14 years took place on February 29 at the tiny club The Scharinska House in their hometown of Umeå.

REFUSED has confirmed a number of shows on both sides of the Atlantic, including an appearance at this year’s Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, to be held for the first time over two consecutive weeks in mid-April.

REFUSED was only together seven years (from 1991 to 1998), but released three full-length albums before calling it quits. Their “The Shape Of Punk To Come” LP is considered one of the best punk albums ever.

The members of REFUSED released a statement in January explaining their decision to reunite by saying, “We 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. We feel that you deserve it and we hope the feeling is mutual.” Source: Blabbermouth.net
