Under ett par år under 90-talet riktades alla blickar mot Umeå. Åtminstone de som gillade hård musik. Anledningen var den sällsynt vitala hardcorescen som fyllde den mellanstora stadens fritidsgårdar med arga, unga människor varje vecka. Moderskeppet var bandet Refused vars efterbränning visade sig vara en perfekt grogrund för hungriga band med en dröm om att en gång bli lika bra och viktiga som förebilderna. Med den epokavgörande skivan 'The Shape Of Punk To Come' från 1998 förändrade Refused inte bara den svenska scenens uppfattning av vad hård musik kan vara, utan hela världens.
Förra året meddelade bandet att det var dags att veckla ned sig och lägga av, och under våren och sommaren har bandet turnerat flitigt i såväl Europa som USA. Nu har det blivit dags för slutet på avslutet, vilket sker genom ett antal spelningar på hemmaplan med noga utvalda support. Den 21 december gör Refused sin absolut sista spelning på Väven i Umeå, och därefter är bandet fucking dead igen.
Se en hälsning från bandet nedan:
"Hello, this is David speaking. A few people have insinuated that like some other bands who, in the fashion of the great Larry David, quit with bells, whistles (and blood raining from a lacerating sky) only to return within a few years as if nothing had happened, Refused would do the same. Well, we won't, and i feel the need to elucidate.
We only broke up once and it was involuntary. Most of you might not remember but at the end of our reunion year 2012 we kept things ambigious in our final statement: "The hatchet is buried ... we're going home", for plausible deniability, because we weren't sure our attempt at a permanent reunion would fly. It did, but only so far.
The reasons for ending the band are legion, but the two most important ones are:
- Refused was never good for mine and Dennis' relationship, we both have our own idea of what the band should be and how we should behave and never the twain shall meet. And we'd rather be friends than play in a popular band.
- A new band has been born within the band and we (Mattias, Magnus, Dennis and me) want to explore that, a band with no baggage, no fans to please, limited only by our wildest musical hopes and dreams. We're very excited about getting around to taming this new wild beast.
But before all that, we have some business to attend to. The last of the last shows are soon upon us and it's come together better than we could have hoped for. The lineups are stacked with old friends, comrades and collaborators as well as some of the best newer bands in the heavy, punk and/or violent music spectrum.
This is going to be an absolute blast of a finale.
Go tell it on the mountain."
