Today, Swedish punk legends Refused are celebrating the 25th anniversary of their seminal 1998 record ‘The Shape Of Punk To Come’ with the first batch of its limited-edition vinyl re-issue out now via Epitaph Records.  A second pressing on an exclusive opaque purple variant is expected to ship in March 2025.  With only 2000 copies worldwide, you can still pre-order exclusively through the band’s webstore: HERE

In addition to the vinyl, a limited run of the re-issue is available on cassette tape starting today! Limited to just 1,000 copies, you can order exclusively via Tapehead City here.

Part of the physical release, the 12-song tribute album ‘The Shape Of Punk To Come Obliterated’ is also available to stream now via Epitaph. Following the request to “rearrange or deconstruct”, Refused presents Touche Amore’s sprawling rendition of “The Apollo Programme Was A Hoax”. Listen below:

Touché Amore comment: “There’s only a handful of records that are so singular and unique that few ever attempt to replicate. ‘The Shape of Punk to Come’ is the highest echelon of what’s being described. Over twenty years later this album stands alone, so, when Dennis approached us about covering a track, we knew we were up for the task. We chose the closing track because we heard elements of what TA could pull from to create a new song out of the foundation they had laid. Our instructions were to make it our own, and luckily with the song being so avant-garde and unique, we found it inviting. Thank you to Refused for the opportunity and to you for listening.”

As the band prepares to take their final bow, their North American farewell tour has quickly sold out in Vancouver, NYC, Toronto, Seattle, and Portland, with low ticket warnings throughout multiple other cities. A new date has now been added for SaturdayMarch 22nd in Buffalo, NY - tickets available here: www.officialrefused.com/live.
