Seminal hardcore punk band Refused set the web aflame in the past few days after their website was updated with the words "Coming Soon." Many are presuming this means a possible reunion of the band that disbanded in 1998. Others think that it might just mean there are deluxe reissues of some kind on the way as the site also features the Epitaph Records logo.
The Shape of Punk to Come: A Chimerical Bombination in 12 Bursts, the band's third and final album, was ahead of its time in many ways. It was a bold statement to title it so, but it certainly did foreshadow what was to come.
We'll have to wait to get official word on what "Coming Soon" is actually referring to. In the mean time, we can go crazier with these two unconfirmed reports.
EDIT: Prefix Magazine is now reporting that the band is not reuniting. Epitaph is simply set to reissue the band's legendary swan song, The Shape of Punk to Come: A Chimerical Bombination in 12 Bursts.
