He looks like a beatle in that picture.

The band, not the bug.

Someone (September 11, 2006)

I thought he looked more like Denis Leary.

Someone (September 11, 2006)

Maybe even David Spade.

1234go (September 11, 2006)

how about a fucking mummy

Someone (September 11, 2006)

That is a sweet picture.

Also this is a step in the right direction.

I know that they'll never get back togehter but one can dream. The new lost patrol band album should be sweet as well though.

Someone (September 11, 2006)

Step in the right direction? Maybe you missed "Text" which was a collaboration of ex Resfused members? Worst record of the century.

Someone (September 11, 2006)

Actually I did miss it.

93 million miles from the sun was good though and it had dennis and one or two other members of Refused.

Someone (September 11, 2006)

the first and second track were awesome! It was only 4 out of the 5 members...everyone minus dennis.

Someone (September 11, 2006)

Text was great, lamer.

phantasm (September 11, 2006)

i love refused and i love t(i)nc. i wont lie i even enjoyed armed love to some degree. so i cant wait for the new project or the new t(i)nc album.

Someone (September 11, 2006)

Ny Våg = My Vag??

Someone (September 11, 2006)

New Wave

ABedForLiars (brittany) (September 11, 2006)

This man is very, very busy. Jeez.

Mute98 (September 11, 2006)

the shape of punk to come was a masterpiece but everything else he did, pre or post isnt good at all

Cos (September 11, 2006)

Albums 2 and 3 from the Noise Conspiracy were pretty awesome. I won't say that either of them hit me the same way "The Shape" did, but few things do.

In art, some people blow their load early. Some people just get lucky. I have a feeling Dennis is in the latter category.

--Cos

Mute98 (September 11, 2006)

T(I)NC is a decent band but i really think lyrically they fail.. musically i think it is creative but once again nothing spectacular

i do agree on your last few sentences, i think he did get lucky, and what fine luck that was haha

TheOneTrueBill (September 12, 2006)

Shape of punk to come had six amazing songs, a few decent ones, and two that I just don't like.

There. I said it.

mjg (September 11, 2006)

"ny våg" is also the name of a bear quartet album.

and the bear quartet is the one of the best bands on earth.

sXenester (September 11, 2006)

One of the new Ted Leo songs is called the Lost Patrol.

I saw the Flaming Lips last night for the first time. FUCKIN' A!

TrueBeliever (September 12, 2006)

Without a doubt the best live band ever, even you don't like their music, you can't go see The Flaming Lips live and not have a good time.

Someone (September 11, 2006)

to the numnut above-dennis wasn't even in text, second-that text record is in fact one of the best things the three other guys ever did. You apparently only listen to one style of music and are young and will learn.

Barkley

Someone (September 11, 2006)

Hey numb nuts, where did I say Dennis was in it? I said it was a collaboration of ex members of the band.
If that's the best shit the other guys did, it's no wonder Dennis stays on his own.
And, I'm actually older, been into the refused since the early/mid90s and like a lot of different kinds of music. That record is unlistenable.

Someone (September 11, 2006)

hey nickelnuts, listen to the David Sandstrom solo records and get some culture and quit listening to Relient K

Barkley

I'm mostly joking you seem alright, but you still are nicklenuts

Someone (September 12, 2006)

Never even heard Reliant K.
You named after the basketball player or the dog on sesame st?

Mute98 (September 11, 2006)

i actually agree, Text fucking rocks.. Shape of punk and the text records are th eonly good cds refused-related

Someone (September 11, 2006)

We're talking about, Text, the record that buddyhead put out, right?!?

Someone (September 11, 2006)

buddyhead put out and apparently shafted them for, no good stinkin shafter

Someone (September 11, 2006)

If shafting means "didn't sell any," then you're probably right.

Someone (September 11, 2006)

employee of buddyhead

Someone (September 11, 2006)

Yup, buddyhead has a staff who's main job it is to come onto punknews.org and defend them. You got it! They really DO care about the kids.

Someone (September 12, 2006)

once again employee of buddyhead

Moof (September 11, 2006)

i would give my life to be on that label.

Coldwaffles (September 11, 2006)

Old news .org...

Unless I'm deja vu-ing again. Which is likely.

Someone (September 11, 2006)

I don't spend all day and all night scowering the internet for industry gossip so it's still news to me.

Coldwaffles (September 11, 2006)

I think I got some kind of email or notifcation of the label, that's why it seems familar...

wyzo (September 11, 2006)

Maybe David Sandstrom's going to let Denis breathe the same air in the same room with him.

Sandstrom's 3 solo records are behemoths of talent.

Sandstrom's answering machine message is probably amazing.

Let Denis sing that.

I'd listen to it.

wyzo

Cos (September 11, 2006)

I had a talented friend who had the most amazing answering machine messages. Oh man oh man.

Someone (September 11, 2006)

yeah Sandstrom is musical genius no question I just bought the needy soul record

wow

Barkley

Sirens (September 11, 2006)

Maybe he'll see where he went wrong. Theyre both genuis, one just chose the wrong road. Im hoping so bad something will reignite Lyxen.

Someone (September 11, 2006)

bring back refused!
-OiOiOi

Someone (September 11, 2006)

its fitting hes calling his label my vag. ever since he left refused hes become a pussy.

-FuckYouOiOiOi

Someone (September 11, 2006)

The labels' icon reminds me of that heart from the music video for "Signing Emo". Maybe it's just me...

Someone (September 11, 2006)

_/ care cup is empty. band needs death ASAP

lynchme (September 11, 2006)

Too bad his podcast is in swedish.

GreatStoryOfApathy (September 11, 2006)

Ummmmmmmmmm.....

Wednesday November 1st at The Hook in Brooklyn:
Strike Anywhere
Lawrence Arms
None More Black
Smoke Or Fire
Dead To Me
The Loved Ones

Fat Showcase....

I have to go to that...I don't know how I'm going to get to Brooklyn or how I'm going to do it on a school night but I have to go.

Coldwaffles (September 11, 2006)

Woah. Shit, lol. Kinda figured Loved Ones would bill higher than Dead To Me, and even Smoke or Fire though. They've been on some pretty high profile tours recently.

GreatStoryOfApathy (September 11, 2006)

I think they are, I listed that myself just by memory.

Strike Anywhere
The Lawrence Arms
Smoke or Fire
The Loved Ones
None More Black
Dead To Me

I think that's the real order. I didn't really care, I'm just trying to think of a way to get to it. I've never been to The Hook, they should've just done it at the Knitting Factory.

I-type-poorly (September 12, 2006)

The Hook is pretty cool. I saw Ted Leo there in March. Ugly neighborhood, but a geek like me made it by just fine, so no sweat.

stephatrc (September 11, 2006)

very cool ! i was lucky to see tinc in vancouver a few months ago, one of the few shows they let comments about on their website, VERY cool.

sickboi (chris) (September 11, 2006)

Is it me, or does Denis look just like rock n' roll James Woods in that picture?

Someone (September 11, 2006)

On totally unrelated news why the hell hasnt the (a) new found glory album leaked yet? Its basically a week till release.

And yes I like them. Get over it.

Moo

theTopher (September 12, 2006)

a webrip has

I-type-poorly (September 11, 2006)

Wait.. Lost Patrol and Lost Patrol Band are two seperate projects?

iconoclast (September 11, 2006)

well, it started out just being lost patrol, and that was basically dennis with an acoustic guitar and some friends playing drums on a few tracks and doing some back up vocals. but then it became like an actual full band, as opposed to more of a solo project, and the style of music also changed quite a bit. the first album is by far the best stuff he's done with this whole project.

iconoclast (September 11, 2006)

i like when lost patrol was dennis and an acoustic guitar.

Someone (September 11, 2006)

fag

UncleFunkyPants (September 11, 2006)

I read a review of the newest Lost Patrol album in either Punk Planet or Skyskraper and the reviewer pretty much called Denis a genre-hopping capitalist. Playing Refused when hardcore was in and Lost Patrol when singer/songwriter stuff is in, etc. I don't agree with it at all, but I do find it an interesting perspective, any thoughts?

TheOneTrueBill (September 12, 2006)

He kind of pre-dated the trends though. Harcore's in a big revival now, but Refused broke up in 1999. Singer-songwriter stuff never, ever goes away so anyone claiming to "hop on the new trend" with that is kind of dumb. The giant 'Garage Rock' revival was in 2002, and (I) was already together for three years by then.

the man just has good taste.

Someone (September 12, 2006)

Hardcore was bigger in the 90s than it is now, but Shape Of Punk was pretty groundbreaking. He started (I)NC when that shit was getting big in his home country.

Someone (September 12, 2006)

Anyone in here who like Final Exit? the Umeå record is a masterpiece, Teg is ok but nothing special though

Someone (September 12, 2006)

Refused were overated DS13 were better.

Someone (September 12, 2006)

Anyone know where i can get that Knugen Faller 7" on the Ny Våg label? i didn't realise it was sold out.

Someone (September 12, 2006)

Try Deadbeat records. The first one is better than the second, though they are both fine editions to any collection. Looking forward to hearing the LP!

Someone (September 12, 2006)

Nice one thanks.

Someone (September 12, 2006)

Refused is possibly one of the worst bands ever. Right there with Mars Volta and Bear Vs. Shark.
