CRED releases digital single ‘Redemption’ via Town And Towers
CRED
Swedish synth/post-punk/darkwave act CRED has released the digital single “Redemption” on the Danish Gentofte-based label Town And Towers Records.
Town And Towers recently signed the band adding: “When we first heard their music, we simply couldn’t resist to be part of this band’s future journey. They are simply brilliant.” The label describes “Redemption” as an “almost classic dark and heavy post-punk synth song that shows the band’s synthy spirit.”
The band’s previous work already showed a very mature sound, which is again clearly present in this new single which features strong male vocals and a very good song structure. A band to follow closely!

Hans Karlsson took over as lead vocalist by Autumn 2025, with the project continuing as a duo. The band cites 1980s synthpop influences and focuses on analog-leaning production.
