DS Gallery: Refused are fucking dead…and this time they really mean it. (Chicago 3/25/25)

Refused are fucking dead…and this time they really mean it. 


The hardcore punk band just finished their North American farewell tour after initially reuniting in 2012, with plans to continue the tour in Europe and the UK in the summer and fall. Joining Refused on this leg of the tour is New York’s post-hardcore punk band Quicksand. Chicago’s own Racetraitor also joined the lineup for this show at the Salt Shed. 


Racetraitor is a hardcore punk/metalcore band formed in 1996 and kicked off the night of steadfast punk rock energy with powerful political rally cries. They are known for addressing a variety of issues through their music, such as systemic racism, inequality, and social justices. 



Quicksand played next with legendary frontman/guitarist Walter Schreifels. He is known for being the main visionary charge behind the Gorilla Biscuits and Rival Schools, and the bassist for Youth of Today. Quicksand, Gorilla Biscuits and Rival Schools all played sets at Riot Fest 2023. 



Formed in 1991 in Umeå, Sweden, Refused are renowned for their creative fusion of hardcore, punk, and metal, which has left a lasting impact on the music scene. Their 1998 album, The Shape of Punk to Come, is often hailed as a fundamental album that influenced numerous bands spanning many genres. 


The lyrics of Refused emphasize far-left politics, with influences from anarchism, socialism, and other related principles. Between songs frontman Dennis Lyxzén gave inspiring speeches on today’s political climate, with the backdrop behind him read the daunting message of “THIS IS WHAT OUR RULING CLASS HAS DECIDED WILL BE NORMAL.” 


They performed “Hate Breeds Hate” for the first time in 30 years and paid tribute to Iggy Pop’s Stooges by covering “Loose” who played at the Salt Shed the night before. 

Refused has always been one of my all-time favorite bands and they will dearly be missed by all their fans…I certainly would not complain if they decided to rise from the dead once again, especially in an era where their resonating message of social justices are needed now more than ever. Refused may be fucking dead but their legacy will live on forever.

Let’s all meet up in the year 2025 with this new Pulp song

<p>Don’t look now, but Pulp’s masterful 1995 album Different Class, perhaps the high-point of the Britpop phenomenon and maybe the most re-listenable of all the iconic albums of that incredible year, turns 30 this fall. And while Jarvis Cocker and the gang, minus the late, great bassist Steve Mackey, have recently returned to the live stage, even announcing a pair of September gigs with LCD Soundsystem in Los Angeles, the idea of new music seemed a bit far-fetched. But Pulp […]</p>

Interviews: Talking 'Black Hole Eats the Tornado' with Creature of Rebelmatic

Rebelmatic are a creative force to be reckoned with and this is extremely apparent on their new album Black Hole Eats The Tornado. The band continues to expand their sound as they seamlessly blend elements from hardcore punk, funk, soul, hip-hop, post-hardcore, jazz, and alt-rock together to create a sound that is groovy, propulsive, and distinctively their own. The band’s lyrical prowess is also on full display as they explore a wide range of topics including mental health, the significance of resistance and resilience, the Tulsa massacre, the vital need for knowledge, and the healing power of good art. Black Hole Eats The Tornado will be out everywhere on April 11 via Say-10 Records. You can pre-order a physical copy here or find Rebelmatic on Spotify here. Rebelmatic will be touring the US starting later this month. Punknews editor Em Moore caught up with lead vocalist Creature to talk about the new album, visual art, working literary references into the lyrics, the importance of making the music you want to make, and so much more. Read the interview below! This interview between Em Moore and Creature took place over Zoom on April 2, 2025. This is a transcription of their conversation and has been lightly edited for length and clarity.

Mike Huguenor (Hard Girls, Jeff Rosenstock, Classics of Love) releases new single

Mike Huguenor of Classics of Love, Hard Girls, Shinobu, and the Jeff Rosenstock band, has released a new digital single. "What do I do now" is a stand-alone digital single. Huguenor said in a statement, "Every so often we’re hit with a moment of great uncertainty, a time when we have to stop and ask ourselves, 'Well, what the hell do I do now??' These moments are like the blank space on a page when one chapter has ended and the next has not yet begun, a passage that feels both infinite and always already almost over. The only thing we can be sure of is that it will lead somewhere new. That's the space of “What Do I Do Now?” I hope you enjoy."You can hear the tune below.
