The Sound of Freedom to Come | The Bandcamp Blog

In 1998, the intrepid Swedish hardcore band, Refused, released the seminal The Shape of Punk to Come (Burning Heart/Epitaph). It was an audacious and prescient gesture. For the ensuing years, the albumâ€™s wiry, abrasive, politically defiant, and genre-defying tracks became a beacon of inspiration, leading a charge of musicians deeper into the post-hardcore landscape.

#^Red Medicine Turns 20 | Stereogum

"Target," the most straightforwardly rocking song on Fugazi's album Red Medicine opens with Guy Picciotto coming to an epiphany: "It's cold outside and my hands are dry / Skin is cracked and I realize / That I hate the sound of guitars / A thousand grudging young millionaires."

#^members of Texas is the Reason, Knapsack, Samiam & more covering Dinosaur Jr.'s 'Where You Been' LP (stream a track) | Brooklyn Vegan

Two different sections of the '90s underground, indie rock and emo, will be coming together with a new project called Felled Trees. The band is comprised of members of '90s emo bands Texas is the Reason, Samiam, Knapsack (plus newer bands like Thrice and RX Bandits) and more, and they've come together to record a tribute album to Dinosaur Jr.'s Where You Been for its 20th anniversary.

Old news at this point, but I missed it up until now.
