Refused – “Freedom” [YouTube Album Stream]

The Skinny: Refused is streaming their anticipated new album, Freedom, which comes out June 29 on Epitaph, in its entirety online now – listen below! Freedom is the band’s first new album since their iconic 1998 album The Shape of Punk to Come.

If Shape blasted apart the constraints of the punk and hardcore world, Freedom goes a step further by incorporating the wide-ranging influences that have shaped band members’ personal tastes. The impending release of Freedom has returned the band firmly to the present tense.

Freedom was produced by Nick Launay. “Elektra” and “366” were produced and co-written by fellow Swede and longtime Refused fan Shellback, who is the No. 1 producer on Billboard and the No. 1 songwriter as well.
