Earlier this year, when the Swedish hardcore powerhouse Refused announced their reunion, the entire punk rock community collectively slipped a disk. After all, their seminal 1998 long-player The Shape Of Punk To Come is fulfilling its mission statement more and more every day. Now, 14 years later, it's topped countless "Best Album Ever!" lists, and earned a place of reverence with pimply hardcore nerds the world over.
On Wednesday, July 18th, Refused and VICE fam OFF! are hitting Brooklyn's Williamsburg Park, and we've got the hook up. Noisey snagged three pairs of tickets to the show, and we want you to have them. The process is almost painless: click this link right here to send an email to our shadowy control center at noisey@noisey.com. Make sure you put "Refused/OFF!" in the subject heading. That's all you have to do. Then you'll just magically win.
You can get more info on the show, and buy tickets if you're scared of losing, right here. If you need any more convincing, you can start by buying OFF!'s new record. Then, if for some inexplicable reason you don't have it, you can buy the deluxe version of The Shape Of Punk To Come. Finally, check out OFF!'s new video for "Cracked" below.
