Because I'm far to lazy to come up with a nice little blurb to convince you this is a good band, I'm just going to copy & paste from the website:
This Hardcore classic re-mixed in 5.1 DVD Audio!
"If a band ever finds that it is not giving their best effort and playing at the edge of their abilities at all times, then they are not playing the kind of music that they should be playing." - Patrick T. Daly, taken from the liner notes of "The Shape of Punk to Come" This philosophy, placed in the context of hardcore music, is what makes Refused so unique. On “The Shape of Punk to Come,” complex rhythms, hardcore rage, political activism and a dose of experimental sonic atmospherics, all smashed together to create a seamless ball of energy. Perhaps this explains why this aptly-titled record is often cited as the most influential record ever to arise from the hardcore genre, one that has spawned a whole new generation of like-minded, experimental politico posthardcore bands.

My favroite Refused songs are Refused Are Fuckin' Dead, The Shape of Punk To Come and Tannhauser / Derive in that order.

Refused were one of the best bands of the 90s, if not the best. Their drummer was god damn ace.

Favourite songs: New Noise, Hook,Line And Sinker, and Coup D'Etat.

Didn't they have two? Could have sworn I read somewhere their guitarist palyed drums too, and their drummer played bass or something.

Anyways, yes, the one that plays in New Noise is "ace".

I think so. I guess I meant whoever drums for the majority of The Shape Of Punk To Come.
