Popular Swedes Refused are continuing to prepare for the release of their first studio album in 17 years.

The Scandinavians have unveiled a new track, 'Françafrique', from their forthcoming record, 'Freedom' - a follow-up to 1998's 'The Shape of Punk to Come'.

"When we got back together in 2012 I was very confident that that was gonna be it. "We're gonna do 10 shows," you know? But then we wound up doing 82, and somewhere down the line we ended up talking about creating new music together," frontman Dennis Lyxzén told Rolling Stone previously. 

'Freedom' is due out on  June 26 via Epitaph.
