Dennis Lyxzén
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dennis Lyxzén (born June 19, 1972 in Umeå, Sweden) is a musician most famously known for being the lead vocalist for Swedish hardcore punk band Refused. Aside from Refused, he has been involved in numerous Swedish bands during his musical career, acting as vocalist, bass player, or guitar player. Since Refused's break-up, his most notable bands have been The (International) Noise Conspiracy and Invasionen (Previously called The Lost Patrol Band). Lyxzén also runs Ny Våg Records, a punk record label. He acted as producer of the 2005 self-titled album by Swedish punk band Regulations, which was released on the label.
As a punk-rock frontman, Lyxzén's songs are expectedly of a counter-culture nature, within line of his strong political socialist and straight edge viewpoints and lifestyle. Albeit his political views, he tends to maintain a level of lyrical variety throughout his various bands. Lyxzén has also been voted sexiest man in Sweden in 2004 by Elle Magazine,[1][2] and is also a vegan[3].
