Where this album fits
- Career context
- Released in 1996, 'Songs to Fan the Flames of Discontent' was Refused's second album, following their debut 'This Just Might Be... The Truth'. At this point, the band was honing their sound and ideological stance, setting the stage for their later influence on the post-hardcore genre. This album acted as a critical stepping stone before they achieved wider recognition with their subsequent release, 'The Shape of Punk to Come'.
