REFUSED is a groundbreaking and highly influential Swedish hardcore punk band that released three full-length albums between 1991 and 1998. They have left their make in the history of punk rock, blurring the lines that separate punk, metal and hardcore, while peppering this brutal fusion with bits of techno percussion, jazzy rhythmic change-ups and long, complex song structures that support politically-charged messages. After 14 years of silence, REFUSED is back in business is back for a series of shows scheduled for summer 2012 including Hellfest. Missing their show would be a crime.
