“The Deadly Rythm”
Why it kills:This song really shows off their technical prowess as Refused incorporate jazz into their aggressive wall of sound. The lyrics deal with oppression in the workforce, and concludes that the working class must unite to be set free from “the deadly rythm” of the production line. An inspiring song that proves Refused are just as relevant today as they were over 10 years ago.
Anything and everything because Refused are brilliant.

COUP D’ETAT
It absolutely kills because it was one of the first refused songs I heard growing up, it instilled the hatred for the man in me, made me want to burn shit, spit on people and riot.. Everything that get’s a 11 year old girl all revved up. They’ve been one of my favorite bands since before I had titts and to be able to actually see them would be everything to me.
I honestly don’t have just one favorite track off of The Shape of Punk To Come but if I had to chose just one, I’m going with “Protest Song ’68” – it pumps me right up even, what….10 years later? 🙂
“Pump The Breaks”
Why it kills: It starts off just so heavy and in your face and then when the vocals start the lyrics are just as in your face. The instrumentals are just over all super heavy and the lyrics shows what Refused stands for as a band.
don’t really have a fave song, love the feel of all their stuff. did see a video of them performing new noise at coachella though and it just seems to have gotten better with age. really need to be at the toronto show!
“New Noise”. And because they’re unstoppable.
“The Deadly Rhythm”
Every single song because they were amazing at Coachella.
