Legendary Swedish punk outfit Refused have announced they will return to Australia this January for a string of shows alongside American hardcore favourites Sick Of It All and locals High Tension.
Refused cemented their legacy with one unforgettable album back in 1998, The Shape Of Punk To Come, and their iconic status has only grown in the ensuing two decades, gaining a new generation of fans.
“It’s not a reunion anymore,” frontman Dennis Lyxzen insists. “This is one of the most radical things we’ve ever done, both musically and lyrically,” he said of the band’s latest statement, the critically hailed Freedom.
Joining the boys will be New York hardcore veterans Sick Of It All, who’ll be celebrating 30 years together. Meanwhile, Melbourne’s High Tension are one of the most visceral and talked-about bands in the country.
