Refused reunited: Dennis Lyxzén and David Sandström together again
DiS is rather excited to learn that Dennis Lyxzén and David Sandström of seminal Scandi punker-than-punk band Refused have joined forces again.
Ten years ago one of the most important bands of our generation, Refused, split. Since then Dennis has fronted party-punks The International Noise Conspiracy, then the acoustic-y The Lost Patrol. Meanwhile, David worked on a project called TEXT and released some solo records.
Their new project together is called AC4. All we can tell you is they're currently unsigned and have done a couple of shows in Sweden. We also guess they're named after the USS Cyclops which disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle, but we might be wrong.
There's barely any music online but get a download from here before visiting their MySpace.
For anyone unaware of Refused, we recommend reading this piece by Ben Patashnik.

i was never convinced by them
after loving refused so much they just seemed so tame.
but.....
... it did make apparent that dennis is a cool dancer.
be not me

were brilliant. a new morning, changing weather and survial sickness are both amazing albums and well rated. no-one seems/seemed to pay them any attention which is a travesty
YES IT'S NOT THE SAME AS REFUSED, I GET IT!
so we lose reuben and i was a cub scout but regain Refused
I'll accept that fairly happily. I liked the other two, but I'd love to see refused again.
We don't just want airtime, we want all the time, all of the time
Every cloud
though it still sucks about Reuben.
yeah
i agree
i could shit right now
i was just thinking about where i could get a refused refill the other day
yay
best news all year
as much as i loved refused
id much rather see a new band then a reformation, it would take away the almost mystique of them
too subtle?
keep making mistakes then
only just saw your pedantic comment
changed now. odd of mike not to spot this but he is working from his sickbed today.
^^
That right there.
But, you're 17!
You can't possibly have seen them live.
I did and would kill to see them again.
I shall be going to see AC4
next thursday. am quite excited.
