The record

Title: Refused – The Shape of Punk to Come
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1998, Rock, Hardcore Punk, Umeå, Sweden
Condition: New

Cultural Facts:

Political Science: The band openly aligned with radical left politics; lyrics referenced Marxist theory, and they were active in Sweden’s straight-edge/activist circles.
Band Drama: They broke up in 1998 amid internal conflict and burnout, just as the record began gaining international traction.
Media Narrative: Largely ignored on release, it was later canonized by 2000s post-hardcore bands, retroactively reframing it as ahead of its time.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
