Refused Reborn on DVD, T(I)NC Tour

Looking back, it's probably hard to imagine how a group of Swedish anti-capitalist kids like Refused could produce an album as canonical as The Shape of Punk to Come. Released in 1998, the band's swan song dotted their usual straight-laced hardcore with bits of jazz and electronica. It has since bubbled into legendary status and left the band's ever-expanding fanbase clamoring for more rawk. And frontman Dennis Lyxzén's post-Refused band, (International) Noise Conspiracy, hasn't exactly brought it quite like we want it.

Well, fellow Marxists, get ready to fan those flames of discontent: On Tuesday, April 25, Burning Heart/Epitaph will release the long-awaited documentary DVD Refused Are Fucking Dead into American hands (fingernails painted black, of course).

"The Chinese Democracy of Punkrock" (so says Refused's MySpace page), the film chronicles the group's tumultuous final tour, which ended in a rebellious standoff with the cops during their final show in Harrisonburg, Virginia. Guitarist Kristofer Steen acts as guide though Fucking Dead, which also includes exlusive live material and music videos .

Emancipate the Proletariat! Capitalism is organized crime!:
