Refused sample Swedish House Mafia's "Greyhound" for "Born On The Outs"

Swedish post hardcore group Refused pay tribute to EDM outfit Swedish House Mafia with their new song “Born On The Outs.”

The song samples Swedish House Mafia’s hit 2012 track “Greyhound,” which was created to promote the Absolut Greyhound drink. In a statement, Refused vocalist Dennis Lyxzén said:

“Kris has talked about the riff in the Swedish House Mafia song 'Greyhound' forever, so we decided to give it our own spin. David and I added some lyrics for this version, which we've called 'Born On The Outs.' Make no mistake though; this is very much 'Greyhound.' But with added lyrics about people who refused to take a side in the ongoing fight against fascism. So, you know, another ordinary Refused song."

“Born On The Outs” stems from Refused’s forthcoming The Malignant Fire EP, which is slated to drop on November 20. Pre-orders for the release can be made here.
