“ With their last two albums [96’s ‘Songs to Fan the Flames of Discontent’ and 98’s ‘The Shape of Punk to Come: A Chimerical Bombination in 12 Bursts’] Refused helped shape the current musical landscape that we hold so dear. Their influence has been vast but at the time VERY FEW people gave a shit about the band. I remember standing in the Red Eye venue at King’s Cross as they played only three songs before their set was stopped after Dennis had his head split open. Some people were heckling them, complaining and asking for their £3.50 back as he was taken to A&E.
Context and a first-hand perspective is far more important than opinion, thank you Daniel P Carter for an informed response to the Refused reformation. (via andrewkelham)
