Refused Announce Farewell Tour and Release Tribute Album
Refused Release Final Tour Dates, Announce 'Shape of Punk to Come' Tribute Album
Legendary hardcore punk band Refused has announced the final leg of their farewell tour and the release of a tribute album to their seminal album, 'Shape of Punk to Come.'
The tour will kick off on October 20th in San Diego, CA, and will make stops in major cities across North America before wrapping up in Los Angeles, CA, on November 19th. Support on the tour will come from fellow Swedish hardcore band The Hives.
In addition to the tour, Refused has also announced the release of a tribute album to 'Shape of Punk to Come.' The album, titled 'The Shape of Punk to Come: A Tribute to Refused,' will feature covers of the album's songs by a variety of artists, including Rise Against, Converge, and Thursday.
'Shape of Punk to Come' was released in 1998 and is considered one of the most important hardcore punk albums of all time. The album was praised for its innovative sound, which fused elements of hardcore, metal, and electronica. The album also featured politically charged lyrics that addressed issues such as globalization and corporate greed.
Refused disbanded in 1998 but reunited in 2012. The band has since released two new albums, 'Freedom' (2015) and 'War Music' (2019). Refused's farewell tour is a chance for fans to see the band one last time and to celebrate the legacy of 'Shape of Punk to Come.'
