Refused

          Refused is a hardcore punk band formed in 1991 from Umeå Sweden.  They are known for their anti- capitalist and anti-establishment lyrics as well as their revolutionary style.  They have often been called one of the most influential punk bands in the last several years.
         Lyrically, almost all of their songs paint anarchy in a very positive light, with lyrics such as "capitalism is indeed organized crime and we are all the victims." ("Refused Party Program"(The song in the embedded video)) and "I breathe out & I scream, Rewoke Malatesta's dream" (Protest Song '68).  All of their songs are heavily politically influenced and have very leftist views.  One of their most famous songs entitled "New Noise" is about being a revolutionary and having a mind to yourself rather than following along with the views people tell you to have including lyrics like "... how can we expect anyone to listen if we are using the same old voice?  We need new noise - new art for the real people."  Although this band broke up over ten years ago, their influence is still felt in many modern day bands and their music is featured in many movie soundtracks.
