Survival Sickness

Product Description The (International) Noise Conspiracy features the former vocalist from Refused, Dennis Lyxzen, making Survival Sicknes the most anticipated punk rock releases of 2000, well most anticipated if your into the (International) Noise Conspiracy. Tracks: "I Wanna Know About U," "Imposter Costume," "Only Lovers Left Alive," "Will It Ever Be Quiet?," and more! Tienda What do you do after issuing the definitive punk rock manifesto? Self-implode. It's what all self-respecting revolutionary punk bands do (just ask the Sex Pistols). Soon after releasing The Shape of Punk to Come (which included the warning shot "The Refused Are Fuckin' Dead"), Refused frontman and mastermind Dennis Lyxzén disbanded the group in mid-tour. But he didn't give up his mission. With the (International) Noise Conspiracy, Lyxzén continues to seek an incendiary mesh of art, revolution, and music. While the Refused deconstructed pop conventions with jazzy ferocity and hardcore pathos, the Conspiracy's radical politics are hidden in the guise of soulful '60s punk rock mayhem, recalling the high-octane garage thrash of the Makers and fellow Swedes the Nomads. Perhaps they figured the best way to change the system is to crash the party. If the Refused were a combination of Derrida and Fugazi, the Conspiracy are Debord and the Who. "Smash It Up" is less a rowdy's rebel yell than a subversive call to arms, inciting "the creative urge to destroy bourguise [sic] culture" over an organ- and bass-heavy rock steady beat. When Lautreamont sings "My heart still hurts from last night" during "Survival Sickness," he's not a spurned lover--he's sick of the state of the world, from "smart bombs" to "easy listening." How does one continue to exist in a society in which the twin evils of capitalism and totalitarianism strip the world of its resources and the people of their dignity? "Won't you forget about me when I'm gone?" he implores in "The Reproduction of Death," but again it has nothing to do with love--he's speaking about the body enslaved as commodity. The liner notes breezily name-check Lautr&ecuteamont, Fourier, Durutti, Warhol, and Marx. Heavy stuff, but lightened by the shake-ass groove Lyxzén's co-Conspirators kick up. This is revolution with a backbeat, and the (International) Noise Conspiracy are the MC5 of the 21st century. --Tod Nelson
