Anybody ever hear anything else about the Refused tribute album?

I remember there being a thread about it awhile ago, but I couldn't find it, so I just made a new one.

Oh holy shit. I have five bucks that says its chock full of stupid teeny bopper bands. Anyone want to hear Paramore cover Summerholidays Vs. Punkroutine? I know I do!

Haha, I think I would rather buy a horrible one filled with Fueled By Ramen bands than a mediocre tribute by bands I like. At least it would be fun to laugh at.

Terrible. No. Don't.

Remember when Crazy Town covered New Noise? Easily one of the worst moments of my life.

I don't like the idea of tribute albums at all. If you're going to cover a song... just cover it, don't put it on an album full of covers of the same band.

Don't bother, it probably sucks.

i'm not disagreeing... i remember in the other thread, someone posted "i don't want to fucking hear some pop punk band whining 'we want the airwaves back' the whole time" and i couldn't have agreed more.

i was just wondering if there was anymore mention of this or if the people responsible realized how awful of an idea it would be and decided it throw it in a pile with the rest of their bad ideas.

Taken from the AbsolutePunk release calendar:


V/A - Rather Be.. A Tribute to Refused

Release Date: 02/17/09

Release date subject to change. No Sleep Records is proud to announce an upcoming tribute album to perhaps the most important and truly gifted bands of our time (if you feel otherwise, feel free to stop breathing immediately), Refused. Rather be.. A Tribute to Refused will feature bands of various genres, hoping to create great renditions of already amazing songs. The album is currently without a release date, but is expected to melt your face in late 2008/early 2009. If you think you have what it takes to capture the energy, emotion and raw beauty of Refused, send an email to ratherbe@nosleeprecs.com with your name, band name, music link and any other information about your band. Please include what song you would like to cover (or totally ruin). Please DO NOT send any MP3s with your e-mail submission.
