I Refuse It!

I Refuse It! M 12″

Eclectic and offbeat hard-driving punk. The Italian BUTTHOLE SURFERS? Definitely outside stuff without losing the power.

I Refuse It! / Cheetah Chrome Motherfuckers Permanent Scar split LP

A split LP by Italy’s I REFUSE IT and CHEETAH CHROME MOTHERFUCKERS, this was originally released as a tape by the bands in ’83. I REFUSE IT combines punk, jazz, thrash, and experimentation in a unique way, while CCM attacks with an experimental thrash that sounds like RAW POWER meets DIE KREUZEN meets the MINUTEMEN.

I Refuse It! Sogni A Doppie Vie EP

These songs are in a very fast jazz-meets-hardcore vein: quite an unusual combo, and one that probably requires an appreciation of both genres. Musically adept and quirky as all get out. For the adventurous.

Cheetah Chrome Motherfuckers / I Refuse It! Sfregio Permanente / Permanent Scare split cassette

Now released in the U.S, these excellent Italian bands provide further proof that Italy is producing some of the most exciting and powerful hardcore bands around. The sound quality is excellent, so each group has the opportunity to really kick ass. C.C.M.F.’s “400 Fascists” is a minor classic.
