Matt Healy said: “Refused’s album ‘The Shape of Punk to Come’ came out in 1998 and was the last punk album.Refused broke up due to political differences, but at the end… The police ended up coming to the concert. It made me want to cry. I shudder when I think about it.”

Matt Healy explained that after seeing it he thought, “I can’t do anything heavy enough to touch that.” “Unless you’re a band like Glassjaw or Converge or Refused, heavy doesn’t really make sense. So we’re not heavy. We could do heavy stuff all day long, but it’s nothing new. I wanted it to be something new.”
