Refused: David Sandström, Dennis Lyxzén, Kristofer Steen &
Pär Hansson.
When Refused
wanted to relax in the rehearsal room and for a moment take themselves
a little less seriously, they switched instruments with each other and
started to play oldschool hardcore.
They called
themselves Final Exit, used pseudonyms and immediately became the
notorious and popular hardcore band in Umeå, Sweden. Sometimes they
played naked and sometimes they even invited the kids to take the moshpit
out to the street. One can say that if the members controlled their madness
and rage in their regular bands they got out of control totally in Final
Exit.
While Refused
was at the forefront with their new school, Final Exit took it back
to the hardcore roots. The band managed to get something of a cult status
during their short career. The band only existed four years long but it
was an insanely entertaining history lesson!
Now both the
full-length albums "Teg" and "Umeå", together with
compilation tracks and other stuff comes out as "Det egentliga Västerbotten
- Complete discography 94-97". Coloured vinyl, gatefold cover, poster
and even a live DVD included!
Expect this
release to be something extra, like a milestone in the history of hardcore.
This is a monument representing the storm that swept in over Sweden, Scandinavia,
the world, during the time era of the 90's!
