the four members of Refused will all remain together in a brand new band. “We’re very excited about getting around to taming this new wild beast.”Addressing why they couldn’t just carry on as Refused, Sandström admitted, “Refused was never good for mine and Dennis’ relationship. We both have our own idea of what the band should be and how we should behave and never the twain shall meet. “We’re bringing Youth Code over from L.A. to join us, a band we love both artistically and socially,” Sandström said. Lyxzen suffered a heart attack in June 2024 but recovered sufficiently for Refused to begin touring again earlier this year.
