Umeå, Sweden (1992 – 1998)
Refused was an influential hardcore band from Umeå, Sweden, that formed in 1992 and broke up in 1998.
They formed in January 1992 with Dennis Lyxzén, David Sandström, Pär Hansson and Jonas Lidgren, and their final line-up consisted of the members Dennis Lyxzén, David Sandström, Kristofer Steen and Jon Brännström.
After releasing The Shape of Punk to Come, Refused decided to do one final campaign in the United States. With tension in the band running high, everything finally collided only a few shows into the tour. The band decided to call it quits after a show in Atlanta, Georgia. Flights were booked back to Sweden, and the band set out towards the Reagan International Airport. Fred Ziomek, guitarist for tourmates Darkest Hour, had attended James Madison University, in nearby Harrisonburg, Virginia. He convinced the band to play one last show in his basement en route to National Airport. They agreed, and even though there were only around twelve hours to promote the show, there were still around four-hundred people in attendance.
The police kept coming by all night, and Tony Weinbender who had been put in charge of organizing everything, kept them at bay for a while. Then they came during Frodus and said, “If we get another complaint and have to come back here, we’re taking you to jail.” Weinbender said he would shut the show down, but did not. A few songs into Refused’s set, police entered the house and plowed through the throng of people to get to the basement.

I don't know you seem to have a very different mind set 'I make my own wealth, why should I share that.' I am not saying that i agree with what Refused says i am not saying that i don't , but i don't think that it be fair to say ' okay then since equality can never be achieved why don't we just make it extremely unfair for people in a system where the poor get poorer and the rich get richer, fuck equality in every sense. Your right you post was extremely delayed, I didn't even know what the hell you were on about at first.

Capitalism wins hands down. Your telling me a socialist goverment would be stable? Equality doesnt exist in humanity, i make my own wealth, why should i share that? As for anarchy...pathetic...as for vegan well of course its not a political ideal, a way of life indeed. Apologies for the incredible delayed post.

What do the people in the beginning of Rather be Dead say? I was pretty sure it was 'Viva la Revolución', but after listening to it closely, they don't seem to say 'ción', more like 'ção'. Any clues?
