A wide picture of a band, Refused, performing on stage under bright white and purple lights. Backing lights are bright red and light up a banner that reads “Umea Hardcore Refused.” The lower third of the image is filled from left to right with a crowd of hundreds

The singer of Refused stands tall with his arms out to the crowd, yelling with them as they sing along to a song. Bright yellow and white lights shine from above and behind. Haze fills the stage allowing the light to shine in beams on and behind the band. The lower 1/4 of the image is a bit of a light streak from a specialty lens filter

The singer of Refused holds a microphone and headbangs in front of bright lights of red, white and blue. He is nearly silhouetted by all the light

The bass player of Refused lifts his bass over his head and stands in front of him Ampeg amp. He is small in the frame, dominated by bright white and purple lights from over head. Behind him and the amps, bright yellow lights blast luminance - mixing with the white and purple lights above

What a gift to see, experience and document a band that has meant so much to me. Thanks Refused + @dennislyxzen.bsky.social

After 25 years of waiting, I finally got to see Refused live and they exceeded every expectation. They’ve always been a huge influence on me and their message couldn’t be more relevant right now
