AC4
AC4 is a hardcore band from Umeå, Sweden. Refused members Dennis Lyxzén and David Sandström had been talking about starting a new band for a long time. In the spring of 2008 Karl Backman had written songs for the new band and they started to rehearse. Jens Nordén had played with Lyxzén in pre-Refused straight edge hardcore band Step Forward (1987-1991) and since 1990 with Backman in punk band The Vectors. The "AC" in the name is the regional code for the Västerbotten province where Umeå is located.
The first show was at a squatting on Parkgatan in Umeå on the Mayu 5th, 2008.
In May 2008 someone posted a live song on YouTube. It got on Kerrang's playlist and had over 14,000 hits the first week.
They performed at Storsjöyran and Umeå Punkfest in 2008.
In 2009 they performed at Way Out West Festival and released the self-titled debut album on Lyxzén's label Ny Våg.
In 2010 their European tour took them around their native Sweden, as well as Norway, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, Austria, France, Italy, England and Wales. They also released the Umeå Hardcore 7" EP in Europe, a special 7" for Australia only and the debut album came out in America.

AC4 (album)
AC4 is the first album by the Swedish band AC4, first released by Ny Våg (Ny Våg #123) in Sweden, 2009, and later on Deranged (DY#161) in Canada, 2010, and on Shock Entertainment/Epitaph Records (CTX611CD) in Australia, 2011. All releases feature the same cover design, but the coloration varies from country to country.
AC4 was the first and only album the two original Refused members Lyxzén and Sandström have made together since The Shape of Punk to Come (1998), until the release of Freedom in 2015. It was also one of the very few pure hardcore punk albums to be reviewed in the Swedish national newspapers.

Won't Bow Down
by: Ac4Are you gonna bow down - NO!
Say he's my brother not ever a friend what are you thinking
-this isn't right
Better prepare for the end the final time
-this isn't right
I don't believe in pointed fingers or passing judgement
-this isn't right
But I can see a fear that lingers without a reason
-this isn't right
Wont bow down - No
Say he's my father and on my knees he will have mercy
-this isn't right
To beg forgiveness to ask pretty please is just wasting our time
-this isn't right
So live it up while you're around break all the rules
