Refused - Françafrique


Last month did the the Swedish hardcore heroes REFUSED announced Freedom, their first album in seventeen years (it's out June 30 via Epitaph). We've already heard "Elektra" from the new LP, which was was produced by Nick Launay (ARCADE FIRE, KATE BUSH, NICK CAVE) and features songs written by the all-powerful pop-producer Shellback. Now have the band have unveiled another cut, titled "Françafrique". This new tune take another turn, check below and judge your self.


REFUSED are embarking on a world tour soon. See a full list of dates below.

On the June 30th is the release day of REFUSEDs first new album in 17 years. Entitled "Freedom", it serves as the long-awaited follow-up to The Shape of Punk to Come. REFUSED has given us the album’s first release by streaming “Elektra” as the lead single. Now, they’ve unleashed a second track in “Françafrique”.

Todays tune "Françafrique" is taken from the upcoming album "Freedom", available June 30th. The Video by Eric Richter.
