The members of Final Exit and Final Exit as a band where known for their uncompromising lifestyle (straight edge) and their hard, fast music. They where around since 87, from the beginning of the Umeå Hardcore scene.

They released Teg, their first album in 94. 15 tracks of raw, brutal, hard, fast straight in your face hardcore classics. Their second and last album, entitled Umeå came in early 97 and it was backed up by the bands Final tour. The band had allready realized that there was no place in todays hardcore scene for a band like Final Exit. They where TOO real and didn't want to take part of todays fake scene...

The Final lineup:

D-Rp - bass 
Dave eXit - voice 
Anders And - guitar 
SXE Guile - battery 

Kid Stone - who was the original guitarplayer died brutaly murdered in Ålidhem. He was replaced by Anders And after the recording of the Teg album. 

   / The official biography
 

Final Exit played their first show at Galaxen Umeå 20/10-94, and played their last show in Teg 14/3-97. In between we played 30 shows in Sweden only. The only thing we ever accomplished was that this girl we know thought that we looked stupid on our group photos.

Ok, you have just read the official biography but you shouldn't take it too seriously. First off, the Teg album was not released in 1994, it was out in 1995. I don't believe that the band where around since 87, more likely the early 90's. But why would they lie about that? Well, Final Exit have always been a secret band. They played with secret identities and when they were interviewed and asked if they were actually members of Refused they just answered that the boys in Refused would probably sell their mothers just to be a part of Final Exit!

In case you didn't know: Dave Exit is actually Refused drummer David Sandström and D-rp is no other then Dennis Lyxzén from Refused, The Lost Patrol, The (International) Noise Conspiracy etc. Kid Stone - you know the guy that was brutally murdered - is actually Kristofer Steen of Refused (and he is not dead at all!). SXE Guile is Pär Hansson from Refused and Abhinanda fame. As you can understand Final Exit was not a really serious band (and that was never their intention), but damn, they put out some really great music back then! 

Now it's 2007 and Final Exit - the hardest band ever - are back for one show only! See them in Umeå, Sweden during the last weekend of March 2007 at the Umeå Open Festival. Who can afford to miss this hardhitting hardcore legend? Also watch out for a Discography CD/LP to be released March 2007 as well!
