refused are the guys that started modern hardcore, actually legendary. check out "refused are fucking dead" on youtube someone posted the original dvd on youtube. it goes through the motions since the 90s
"Lowkey" has been as adultered as "literally" in the past ten or fifteen years. This is HIGH-KEY a definitive album of its era and is just as spicy as when it came out.
you gotta understand, this WAS the new beat back in the day. this was a completely new sound, there was nothing like it before. all the screamo you know today goes back to this song and album, there was nothing similar in punk and hardcore by the time. we listened to this and were like "what the f ... oh wow, this is good!!"
That whole album "Shape of Punk to Come" (an homage to Ornette Coleman's Shape of Jazz to Come) is INCREDIBLE. These guys are consummate musicians AND have the punk/hardcore ethos. You gotta do "Worms of the Senses/Faculties of the Skull" !! Not many albums better than this in the last 25 years.
These guys were so ahead of their time. Who doesn't love a band full of hardcore Swedish socialists from the 90s? My people! Should check out some of their music from the game Cyberpunk 2077, they did all the songs by the band Samurai in the game. Highly Recommend.
I wouldn't consider refuse to be pop punk or heavy metal, I would call them Hardcore. The distinction between heavy metal and hardcore might not be super apparent to someone who's new to heavy heavy white people music, but as you listen to more and more, you'll start to notice that there is a pretty distinct difference. Heavy metal is great, but I personally do think that hardcore is typically more fun.
Refused are the fathers of modern post-hardcore, emo and screamo. All of the tropes of the late 2000's and early 2010's of hardcore bands started with this album.
If you like this try Fugazi. These guys are very influenced by Fugazi. Maybe do "Waiting Room" "Bed for the Scrapping" "Blueprints" "Merchandise" and "Suggestion" are all bangers IMO.
My daughter's 8th grade 4x400m relay team used this as their hype song. It would scare the shit out of the other team Swifties. It's also the song used as the lead up to the state championship game in the movie Friday Night Lights with Billy Bob Thornton. I still get chills when I hear the intro.
There was a scene of Scandinavian prog-rock in the late 90's, but this album towered over everything else. If no decimals, this is a 10/10 album for me. An honourable mention is Düreforsög(DK) "Knee", which is also an unknown gem.
Yes! I’m so glad to see you’re enjoying one of my favorite bands! I saw them live in 2016 and the pit during this song was INSANE. I know I’ve said this before, but I still think you should check out “Close Your Eyes and Count to Fuck” by Run the Jewels. I’d love to see your reaction to that.
I can say of the two times I saw them live, they don't disappoint. Also, I saw the singer after the show jump out of the bus after a show, still drenched in sweat after dancing and jumping around like a maniac the entire set. I didn't even intend to meet him, I was just going back to my car.
Someone needs to get this man on blackhole sun for me. With how much he loved chris before, and how much more he got into the genre. That'll be a banger video.
Such an amazing song, so glad to see this here. Need to do some Glassjaw next, maybe Ape Dos Mil, followed up by the groove of Brooklyn is Burning from Head Automatica. Ah, or even better yet, do yourself and listen the to the album Tiger and the Duke from The Sound of Animals Fighting, any of the Acts on there would be amazing to react to.
I am over 50 years old and this song has been in my top 10 songs since I first heard it in 1998. 25+ years later and it is still one of the best songs ever!
Bro I'm a white boy (obviously) but Kendrick and Refused are probably my two faves of all time. Know every word to everything both have ever done. Love this.
SO happy to see you react to this since it's one of my favorite songs from the album that has meant the most to me personally of all time. The Shape of Punk to Come was released in 1998 and is one of the most influential albums for the post hardcore and metalcore genres. If you want to hear something more lyrics focused, check out the opening track "Worms of the Senses / Faculties of the Skull".
Breh love the openness of your music taste like mine love this keep doing thrash/ metal / punk with hip hop stuff to i hope you start doing anime opening too
i just found this song after 20 years i remembered the lyrics lol. yo your the man bro this song is a fucken masterpiece aye it had the same effect on me . BANGER
The singer, Dennis Lyxzen, went on to front a band called The (International) Noise Conspiracy with a very different sounds, but a more overtly political message. It's not "hard" music, but I've long considered their song "Only Lovers Left Alive" to be a kind of sequel to New Noise.
@@fudgenuggets405I still remember my reaction from my first listen. It's like hitting second gear and having the tires chirp in a car that is full of surprises the harder you push it.
Swedish very early Hardcore Rock music :) they played a concert every day for over a year and even 2 shows some days, the record set by most concert in a year! epic band
I liked the Anthrax cover of this as well. Refused are so underated. Hard ass sh@t you can dance to? And Cheers to your patreon member for requesting this. Good taste is infinite! Nice reaction. Peace!
Check out the song Grown So Cold by Dead American. New Noise was on Refused album The Shape of Punk to Come, Grown So Cold is on Dead American’s album The Shape of Punk is Dumb. Influenced heavily by Refused, just 30 years later.
Seen them so many times and also saw one of their last concerts before the split... One thing though: Track first afaik first released on "The Shape of Punk to Come" not on The New Noise EP.
I've been popping in to watch a video or two every once in a while on your channel for a few months now mostly for some of your reactions to SOAD and Metallica. And it is nice to see someone trying to branch out a bit. Even if it's not something they typically would like. And to that end, while it may not be metal, per se, I would like to suggest 'Spitting Venom' or 'This Devil's Workday' by Modest Mouse. It's very much leaning into the alt music scene, and Modest Mouse is probably one of my favorite bands. I'd like to see what someone who doesn't quite share my musical taste thinks of them.
Refused were the first band to mix electronic music with hardcore/punk they actually broke up after playing a house party in Atlanta,Ga in 98 (might be wrong on year). Got back together in to early mid 2010's and put out an amazing album that imo is there best to date
Awesome reaction! Refused was the last band that I saw live before covid shut down everything, and they were great! I think you need a taste of some more hardcore after that. You should check out "Take the Night Off" by Sick Of It All.
Hey as long as you're exploring post-punk you might want to check out "Viagra Boys". They've got some really weird songs that are simultaneously total bangers.
Idk if you've played Cyberpunk or not, but this is the band that does all the music for the games fictional band "Samurai."
WHAT
Interesting. Thanks for sharing, I'm still finishing up phantom liberty
WHAT?!?!?!?
Chippin in is SO fun to play on guitar
are you f*cking kidding me?
Hell yes! This is one of the low key greatest punk/post-hardcore albums ever! Musically and lyrically a solid 9.7/10 for me. Legendary
One album.. kicked punk and hard-core music's ass all the way up. No emo if not for Refused.

Y el primero y el segundo que este es el tercero ❤
Genuinely surprised and very glad you reacted to this! Try "The Deadly Rhythm" next!
ahhh, the drums on that song are sooooo fucking good

Facts. People didn't understand it back in the 90s bro. All I know I was with it. Lol
Refused is AWESOME. MORE PLEASE!
Everytime I hear this song, like literally every goddamn time I forget how much I love this song.
For years, I thought he was saying “Thank you Pete” at the end of the song. I didn’t know who Pete was, but I was thankful for him too!
Back in the day my buddy thought the section in the middle was saying "We dance with old Kurt Russell, We drive an old Ford Bronco". 😂
We used to say thank you Pete for fun.
i always heard " not guilty"
"My Chemical Romance, haven't you people ever heard of-" 😂 that's Panic At The Disco
Good examples of terrible white personal music lol
hey man at least the dude has the spirit😭😭😭
I've never seen this song leave anything but pure joy on reactors faces
Refused was the first band I ever saw live. I went to see them because of this song =)

Turnover. Turnover is their best track.
@@matiasnelsoncapdevila3497 I mean waiting room is THE seminal track. Best track? Turnover is OK.
if we are talking about fugazi, I Gotta give a shout out to Minor Threat, Still one of the best Punk bands ever!
@@drscro7163 "I don't wanna hear it!"
@@drscro7163 Definitely. But of the "big four" of hardcore, I think he would like Bad Brains and Dead Kennedys the best.

Man, you hit gold here. This is one of many great songs from a real masterpiece.
Godammit man, best reaction channel on this whole damn site, tell you what
I’m so freaking glad you liked that song. Same reaction I had when I heard it for the first time. Amazing videos.
This is one of my top 5 all-time favorite songs. Just amazing, especially the first couple of minutes. That intro hit hard.
"Havent you people ever heard of" is a panic! at the disco lyric!
I wanna see the ladies represented in this series! Check out Jinjer, either Pisces or Vortex to start!
still gives me chills watching someone hear this song for the time.

Love your content! Great to see one of my favorite bands :) Hope all is well, best wishes and all the love from northern Sweden

Went crazy on the dancefloor to this song in Hamburg 20 years ago.
This is one of the most legendary albums (The Shape of Punk to Come). They're also the real band behind the fake band Samurai in Cyberpunk 2077.
Breh love the openness of your music taste like mine love this keep doing thrash/ metal / punk with hip hop stuff to i hope you start doing anime opening too
I just heard this song like 2 years ago. Def hard af and influenced so much that came after it
Epic Band.

This series is a ton of fun! Great job! Would love to hear your reaction to Ted Just Admit It by Jane's Addiction.
They didn't even really have to play, for the video shoot, but the drummer broke his hi hat, half way through it 😂
One of my favorite bands.
this band were incredible
At 2:25 I knew @robtv was unprepared for what was about to happen 😂😂😂
That's an understatement. No one expects it.
@@fudgenuggets405I still remember my reaction from my first listen. It's like hitting second gear and having the tires chirp in a car that is full of surprises the harder you push it.
Still one of my favorite albums
That Doom ad years ago where they used this song was awesome!
I freaking love this band and also The (International) Noise Conspiracy which is some of the same people but a different vibe.
As a Swede I thank you for doing this song!
this whole album is fantastic
Holy shit, our man did one of my favorites of all time. Would love to see you do Rage Against the Machine's Rodeo.
Swedish very early Hardcore Rock music :) they played a concert every day for over a year and even 2 shows some days, the record set by most concert in a year! epic band
17 years ago this song was added to RUclips. Been a banger since day 1😎
The album itself, “Shape of Punk to Come”, is amazing. As is “New Noise”.
You gotta listen to the whole album, its one of my all time favorites.
BRO you would love this entire ALBUM! It's so good
I fucking love this track. Do more punk! Shits good man!
MORE
PUNK
This album is LEGEND.
FYI: The drummer is not playing the hihat with two hands. He's playing the (verse) with ONE hand.
Sandström FTW
I liked the Anthrax cover of this as well. Refused are so underated. Hard ass sh@t you can dance to? And Cheers to your patreon member for requesting this. Good taste is infinite! Nice reaction. Peace!
Ashamed of myself I never knew of this song before it became the theme song in The Bear, obsessed with it ever since
Song was released in 1998, and it still goes hard
Check out the song Grown So Cold by Dead American. New Noise was on Refused album The Shape of Punk to Come, Grown So Cold is on Dead American’s album The Shape of Punk is Dumb. Influenced heavily by Refused, just 30 years later.
now THAT'S how you react to a song! F**k the lyrics, let's shredddddd 🤘
lol, that was Panic! But still glad you are exploring. Also, he was screaming "thank you, pig".
Great reaction
Seen them so many times and also saw one of their last concerts before the split...
One thing though: Track first afaik first released on "The Shape of Punk to Come" not on The New Noise EP.
your reaction made my week! hahaha
He comes in screaming: "Can I scream!!!" 😂😂
Never heard of em...
....glad I found you before them..!LOL!
Proud swede here 2024
Have you tried Enfilade by At The Drive-In?
Oh man, I'd love to see this guy react to Mars Volta. Viscera Eyes, cicatrisz, Goliath, I bet he'd love it.
Brilliant style blender
Serious BANGER!
Give 'You can't see the forest for the wolves' by Funeral for a Friend a go. Should be up your street going by this!
one of my fav bands. "at the drive in" is another band if you like this.
You want fun, CLUTCH "ELECTRIC WORRY" 4:44 version and "DC SOUND ATTACK" = more fun
Basically anytime these guys change tempo and slow it down... that's your cue to hold on to your butt, shit's about to go hard.
Every time I hear this song I have to clear space in the room
hell.
yes.
CHEF, DID YOU TOUCH MY KNIFE?!
Was looking for a reference to The Bear in the comments. 🤘🏻
I would like to thank my cousin for showing me this song when we were teenagers......CERTIFIED BANGER!!
If you ever decide to pick another song from this group, highly recommend “Hook, Line, and Sinker”

Bloody Beetroots does a cool cover/remix of this song
Can I scream?
Yeah.
Mixing up MCR and Panic makes complete sense lmao.
Who else first heard these guys in Tony Hawks Underground? :p
Fuck yes. Love it.
Hey as long as you're exploring post-punk you might want to check out "Viagra Boys". They've got some really weird songs that are simultaneously total bangers.
For 2 mins of pure cathartic aggression check out THROWN - on the verge
Could we get sorry you're not a winner by enter shikari next or some late 2000's metalcore
Good choice!
