One day, specifically May 30th, Refused, a hardcore band from a place called Umeå, in Sweden, headlined the Crocodile. And the show looked dangerous indeed. The group, gearing up for the release of its fourth album, Freedom (ready on June 30th), has had quite the rotating lineup. However, the current lineup includes original members Dennis Lyxzén (vocals), David Sandström (drums) and Kristofer Steen (guitar). Basically it’s an awesome reunion. A cool FYI: Lyxzén was voted Sexiest Man in Sweden by Elle Magazine in 2004. Sounds good!
