American Football/Bear vs. Shark reunion is all I need

The Refused seem like they'll do a whole lot more than just those two shows if you re-read the statement.

never listened to any of those bands, so my pants be empty

Absolute hand on heart, driving to work this morning knowing about at the drive in and refused reforming, I thought who else reforming would even more awesome - TREOS was my top thought. Come on here to see that they may be after all - slightly spooked and pants well and truly filled.

Im actually most excited for e town concretes reunion. Im not being ironic at all. I got to see atdi 2x and im content with that. Loved refused but it just doesnt excite me they way it did back then. I think the moment in time in which these bands peaked was a big part of what made them so great. Now there are a million copycat bands that have embaressed and destroyed the scene.

My buddy and I agree. The chance to see ATDI when we never thought it would be possible it insane. I'm quite sure if they play new York state. NYC would be logical but we are willing to travel. More fun that way right?

Definitely so. I'm hoping they'll play a show in DFW, which is very likely, but if not I'll gladly travel, especially knowing how logical an Austin show would be, and if not that, then they'll probably do a hometown El Paso show or SOMETHING.

Yes, please.

Even better? Beloved reunion.

I'll definitely be excited for Refused and At The Drive In once I know I won't have to drop 500+ to see them at a festival across the country (hotel fees, food, flight, tickets)...don't get me wrong, it's absolutely incredible that both are doing this, but a gigantic hipster festival is not the correct way to do The Shape of Punk to Come correctly, as they stated in their announcement.

Side note...am I missing something? Why do The Receiving End of Sirens even belong in the same mention as these two bands? Never saw them as being viewed anything close to iconic. To each their own, I guess?

None of this has set in. Still.

TREOS is still the best to me.

i was jumping out of my skin about refused. i dont understand why more people are blown away by this.
i literally had a conversation with my friend like two weeks ago about how at the drive in would never come back. and there was no way in hell refused would ever come back. and then it just... happened. on the same day.

i dont think anything has ever blown my mind that hard.

Refused has me most excited. I'm always down for TREOS though.

Now we just need Blink 182 to reunite.

I'm excited for them all but . . .

TREOS last album put me to sleep. I hope they make me excited to hear them again.

ATDI is incredibly influential and from what I've heard one of the best live shows ever, but I like Mars Volta better and think ATDI songs are very hit or miss. Regardless, I am most excited about the chance to see One Armed Scizzor played live. I also know they hate moshers so this would be a strange show, but great none the less.

The Refused . . . I am embarrassed to say I am almost completely unfamiliar with them. Before my time maybe? I'm 28? I will say that super-liberal old school punk gives me a headache, especially when I go to a show and get a political lecture. No thanks. I consider myself liberal but I'm not going to go out and "burn museums" and attempt to "overthrow the capitalist structure"
